Bolted Joint Assembly Principles Per PCC-1-2010
Turin, Italy
Thursday 14 June – Friday 15 June 2012
2 Days
Course Code: PD 577 | Accreditation: 1.5 CEUs, 15 PDHs | Instructor: David
E. Lay
Although the mechanical principles that make a screw or bolt work are elementary
– the inclined plane and the lever – the proper application of
those simple machine principles to seal a vertical joint or sustain a tower
crane under stress, is extremely complex. For many years, there has been recognition
of the need to train, test, and certify craftsmen prior to allowing them to
work on significant industrial applications which may have safety and structural
integrity issues. This course will train and test bolting personnel at the
supervisory level on the technological and practical problems of assembling
bolted joints in large scale industrial applications.
Participants enjoy interactive instruction, a student manual with resource
materials (which includes a 1-year subscription to the most comprehensive
on-line bolting library on the web), in-class demonstrations, and a half-day
of practical application ending in a skills certification. Participants will
also receive the PCC 1-2010 Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange
Joint Assembly codebook.
You Will Learn
- Principles of joint design and reliability
- The “nuts and bolts” of nuts and bolts
- The concept of “load” as a bolting goal
- Ways to accomplish “load” (torqueing and tensioning)
- Factors affecting proper “load” and how to compensate for
problems
- Proper selection and installation of gaskets
- Familiarization with bolting tools of all types
- Advantages and disadvantages of various bolting methods and where to
use them
- Assembly procedures (bolting patterns, incremental tightening, etc.)
- Work planning and preparation (tools, hardware, bolting plan, safety
checklists)
Who Should Attend
Practicing design and manufacturing professionals involved in assembly of
electro-mechanical hardware components and engineers and technicians in design
and assembly operations. Engineers involved in the design, construction or
maintenance of pressurized equipment utilizing flanged joints for the petroleum,
refining, chemical, power, and process industries.

Instructor
David E. Lay, BS, MBA, is the Director of Training for Hytorc, the largest
manufacturer of hydraulic bolting tools. He has been involved in the teaching
of both the theoretical and practical aspects of heavy industrial bolting
since 1992 and has been involved in corporate training for over 25 years.
David is the author of several multimedia courses that have been adopted as
teaching standards for union apprentice programs in the millwright and pipefitter
trades across North America. He is an Affiliate Member of ASME and brings
a practical view of complex problems that can be understood by workers and
non-engineers, yet withstands the rigors of quantitative review. David is
a member of the Post-Construction Standards Committee and the Bolted Flange
Joint Subcommittee of ASME which recently created the PCC-1-2010 “Guidelines
for Pressure Vessel Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly” document.
