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.
