The design and analysis of flanged joints are essential components for pressure containment. The purpose of this course is to provide a fundamental understanding of the design and behavior of bolted flange joints. You will learn the latest developments from the Pressure Vessel Research Council research on gasketed flange joints, as well as the new design rules being developed for the ASME Codes. Upon completion of this course you will be able to: - Identify ASME requirements and methodology for flange design
- Design and analyze flange joints for pressure and external loads in accordance with the latest ASME Codes and Standards
- Identify the parameters that can affect flange leakage
- Discuss fundamentals of flange and gasket behavior
Targeted Audience: Engineers involved in the design, construction or maintenance of pressurized equipment utilizing flanged joints for the petroleum, refining, chemical, power, and process industries Special Features: Receive the textbook, Gaskets and Gasketed Joints, by John H. Bickford Computer analysis illustrating the behavior of flanged joints under mechanical and thermal loads Examples on troubleshooting field problems This course is an excellent supplement to PD539 - The Bolted Joint which relates specifically to flange joint assembly Bolting Combo Course PD601 - This course is a combination of "The Bolted Joint" (PD539), "Design of Bolted Flange Joints" (PD386) and "New Options in Industrial Bolting" (PD577) TAKE THESE COURSES AS A COMBO AND SAVE UP TO $910 |
