MP4 | Video: h264, 1920x1080 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Level: Intermediate | Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 20 Lectures ( 4h 34m ) | Size: 2.5 GB
Flange ratings, gasket selection, bolt load & torque, ASME B16.5 & PCC-1 assembly & joint integrity management
What you'll learn
⚡ Read ASME B16.5 pressure-temperature rating tables correctly — material group, class and design condition — and rate a joint properly
⚡ Select gaskets against temperature, pressure, media and flange facing — spiral wound, kammprofile, sheet, jacketed and ring type
⚡ Apply the ASME PCC-1 assembly procedure — tightening patterns, the four-pass method, final circular pass and target torque determination
⚡ Explain why torque is an imprecise route to bolt load, and specify when hydraulic tensioning or elongation measurement is justified
⚡ Select bolting materials to ASTM A193, A194 and A320, including low-temperature grades and coating effects on friction
⚡ Set and check flange alignment tolerance, and recognise the damage caused by pulling flanges together with bolts
⚡ Diagnose gasket failures from the removed gasket — blowout, extrusion, crushing, chemical attack and uneven compression
⚡ Build a joint integrity management programme with joint criticality ranking, qualified technicians and verification before pressurisation
⚡ Manage hot bolting, leak sealing and temporary repairs on live plant safely and with proper control
⚡ Specify joints for special service — high temperature and creep, cryogenic, hydrogen, oxygen and fugitive emission control
Requirements
❗ No prior specialist knowledge of flanges or bolting is required — the theory is built from first principles
❗ Any engineering, maintenance or technical background is enough to follow the course
❗ Helpful but not essential: some hands-on exposure to flanged joints or plant maintenance
❗ Useful alongside the course but not required: copies of ASME B16.5 and ASME PCC-1
❗ No software or purchases needed — this is an applied engineering and practice course
Description
Flanged joints are the most common source of loss of containment on process plant. Not vessels, not welds — joints. And the great majority of them leak not because the design was wrong but because the assembly was.
A joint can be correctly rated, correctly gasketed, hydrotested successfully and still leak in service, because achieved bolt load is dominated by friction and scatter, because the flanges were pulled together with the bolts, or because nobody checked the seating faces. This is a discipline with real theory behind it that is almost always treated as a fitter's task.
This course treats it as engineering.
WHAT YOU WILL MASTER
Five sections cover flange fundamentals and rating, gaskets and sealing mechanics, bolting and tightening, assembly practice and quality, and special service through to troubleshooting.
You will learn flange types and facings and how to read the ASME B16.5 pressure-temperature rating tables correctly for the material group and design conditions. You will select gaskets — spiral wound, kammprofile, sheet, ring type — against temperature, pressure, media and facing, and understand gasket stress, relaxation and why leakage is a continuum rather than a threshold.
THE PART THAT ACTUALLY PREVENTS LEAKS
A full section covers ASME PCC-1: the assembly procedure, the cross-pattern and legacy tightening sequences, the four-pass approach and final circular pass, target torque determination, and the Appendix A qualification of assembly personnel. Alongside it, the relationship between torque and achieved bolt load, why friction dominates, and where hydraulic tensioning and bolt elongation measurement earn their cost.
A CORPORATE TRAINING SUBJECT
Joint integrity management programmes are now standard on major sites, driven by fugitive emissions regulation and loss of containment performance. Formal JIM programmes with qualified technicians produce measurable reductions in leaks. This course covers how those programmes are built, and includes alignment tolerance, surface condition, hot bolting on live plant, and the systematic diagnosis of a chronically leaking joint.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Mechanical, piping and maintenance engineers responsible for joint integrity; inspection and integrity engineers investigating leaks; HSE and environmental staff running LDAR programmes; turnaround and shutdown engineers planning joint work; and supervisors and technicians who want the engineering behind the procedure.
WHAT YOU GET
Structured on-demand video across 20 focused lessons and five sections, section quizzes and a final exam, lifetime access on mobile and TV and a certificate of completion.
No prior specialist knowledge is required — the theory is built from first principles. Any engineering or technical background is enough to follow it.
Enrol now and stop re-torquing the same joint.
