Gaskets and Bolted Flange Connections CD
     Containing fluids (liquids and gases) is essential to both safe and efficient process operation. Leaky systems can be costly as well as dangerous. The US EPA has set down regulations aimed at limiting emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in pumps, compressors, valves, and flanged equipment.

     This training shows you how to achieve a good flanged connection as well as the essentials of studs, bolts and nuts.
