Description

You will encounter pipes and joints even if you are not working in an engineering related industry. Fluids must move within piping systems in a safe and efficient manner, and it is pipes, joints, and valves, that allow this to occur. But what are joints?

 

A joint can be welded, screwed, or bolted. This course covers the topic of bolted joints within piping systems. Specifically, you will learn about flanges, gaskets, and fasteners, which are the essential components of bolted joints.

 

This is an ideal course for anyone working in the Oil and Gas, Petrochemical, or Chemical Engineering industries, but it is also useful for any working engineer (flanges are everywhere!).

 

The course is suitable for people just starting their career, or as an efficient refresher for old hands. 

 

The course comes with a downloadable PDF handbook and downloadable Quiz Booklet.

 

You can claim your certificate after completing the online quiz.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Start learning about flanges now!
