A tightening or loosening operation may seem very simple and basic to the outside eye, but hydraulic, electric and pneumatic tightening tools are incredibly powerful for their very compact size.
It is essential that operators are trained to work safely and have sufficient knowledge to avoid damaging the bolted joint by choosing the wrong tool.
There are therefore several levels of training offered, ranging from the start-up of the tools with training of the operators in simple use to theoretical training on tightening in general for pressure vessels, for example, to obtain a good seal on the flanges.
At the time of the start-up of new HYTORC equipment, a free training is proposed to you. This gives your operators the assurance that they are using the equipment in the best way with the emphasis on safety. Operators who may already be familiar with other tightening technologies will be trained on several points specific to torque tightening including:
There are several clamping technologies, each with a different approach and adapted to certain situations.
Because the technical training of students does not cover all these methods and because the habit of a company often leads to favor the use of the same method, you may miss an adapted, more economical and faster solution…
We are able to present the different existing technologies in a half-day training course that deals with torque and tension tightening with their variations: impact tools, dynamometric torque, torque and angle, tensile strength, hydraulic tensioning, mechanical tensioning, tensioning by heating rod or induction tightening with the advantages and disadvantages of each method and tool and their implementation
This more theoretical training can be done in our Bordeaux office or directly at your place to reach a larger number of people from Maintenance, Design Office, Reliability, Production, Safety, Ergonomics…
Because the subject of sealing flanges is sensitive and tightening is often incriminated during failures, we can also intervene with your teams for a training dedicated to the tightening of flanges and taking up the points of the ASME PCC-1 standard.
The sealing is the business of tightening but it only unites the 3 elements that are the flanges, the gasket and the bolts.
Therefore, these 3 elements must be mastered in order for the bolted seal assembly to perform its sealing function during the operating cycle of the pressure vessel or pipe.
If you want us to intervene on a particular tightening subject or on the maintenance of the tools, we can agree on the theme of the training and adapt the contents to meet your need and the public which you wish to concern.
