The Bolted Joint

The Bolted Joint

Turin, Italy
Monday 13 – Tuesday 14 June 2012
2 Days

Course Code: PD 539 | Accreditation: 1.5 CEUs, 15 PDHs | Instructor: James Payne

Although bolted joints comprise a large percentage of all industrial fasteners, their role in the installation and assembly process is poorly understood. This course provides an overview of bolted joint fundamentals, whether gasketed or not, including behavior and troubleshooting. It takes a detailed look at the latest developments in gasketed joint assembly, torque factors, bolting patterns, and gasket behavior, tightness, selection and specification.

Each participant will receive a copy of the book, An Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints, 3rd Edition, by John Bickford.

You Will Learn

• Calculation of forces in bolted joints and establishing specific torque
• How to increase functional life of a joint and analyze joints and failure mechanisms
• Achieving better control of bolt tension and applied torque in assembly
• Effective utilization of torque application machines
• How to reduce fastener-related warranty and rework costs

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. Two years of engineering experience would be beneficial, but is not necessary.

This course is an excellent prerequisite to PD386 - Design of Bolted Flange Joints

Save up to 745€ by registering for PD601, a triple combination course consisting of this course (PD539), PD577 "Bolted Joint Assembly Principles Per PCC-1-2010," and PD386 “Design of Bolted Flange Joints.”
