This course is designed to train and evaluate an individual’s ability to develop procedures and training and provide detailed oversight and guidance to bolted flange joint programs and activities. It covers advanced topics and practices of all aspects of bolted joint assembly as outlined in Appendix A of ASME PCC-1: Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly. This course covers the training concepts identified for the Level 4 Bolting Assembler.

This course is part of ASME’s Bolted Flange Joint Assembly Program, which provides formal on demand training by fostering a deeper understanding of topics and concepts defined in ASME PCC-1 Appendix A.

Students will earn a microcredential for each level by completing courses covering the 4 skill levels:

Level 1: Individual should be able to identify the main components of a bolted flange joint including the bolts, nuts, flanges, gaskets, and lubrication. This individual should also have a basic awareness of bolted flange joints and general terminology of bolting tools and equipment.
Level 2: Individual should be able to perform general pre-assembly activities of bolted flange joints, such as cleaning and inspection, as well as assembly activities such as gasket and bolt installation, alignment, and manual torque tightening.
Level 3: Individual should be knowledgeable with in-depth concepts of assembly requirements such as proper use of manual tightening equipment methods and pre, in-process, and post assembly quality assurance. This individual should also be familiar with the reasons why the majority of requirements for bolted flange joint assembly exist.
Level 4: Individual should have advanced knowledge of all aspects of bolted flange joint assembly and should be able to develop and maintain bolted flange joint assembly procedures, training processes, and provide detailed oversight and guidance to bolted flange joint program.

By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

Perform advanced bolted joint calculations as outlined in ASME PCC-1: Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly Appendix A.
Demonstrate advanced knowledge of all aspects of bolted flange joint assembly.
Develop and maintain bolted flange joint assembly procedures and training processes.
Provide detailed oversight and guidance to bolted flange joint programs.

Who should attend?

Anyone involved in the assembly, disassembly or quality assurance of bolted joints; Major operators and contractors involved in oil and gas, petrochemical and power generation, or any industry that uses bolted flange joint assemblies.

Course participants are expected to have:

Access to a computer and reliable internet connection
A calculator
Software to display PDF files (such as Adobe Reader)

A Digital Badge and a Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully complete the course and achieve a passing score of 75% or higher on the final exam.
