Objectives:

Upon completion of the training, the participants will be able to carry out the following:

  • describe the behaviour of a flanged joint fitted with a seal;
  • specify the leak-tightness solutions (flat seals for flanged joints) based on the conditions of use;
  • define standard practice for factoring leak-tightness into the design of flanged joints
