They provide flexibility to break the continuously running very long pipe lengths to insert fittings such as valves of various types (isolation\, control\, non-return\, safety etc.)\ , instruments (flow\, analyzers etc.)\, spectacle blinds\, etc. Pipe flang es also allow convenient routing of pipes. Flanges are welded at both the ends of a pipe length\, a valve and other fittings.\n\nFlanges help divide the whole length of pipes in smaller parts which facilitate their removal s for easy inspection and maintenance. This includes their replacements fo r the reasons of corrosion or other types of failures/deterioration. While flanges facilitate the above aspects\, they also become pain points as th ey are potential leak sources in high-risk process industry\, e.g. oil\, g as and Pietro-chemicals etc. which contain flammable\, explosive and toxic fluids. So\, the flanges of the mating pipes and fittings must perfectly match each other at the joints. This will arrest the leakage from their jo ints.\n\nSince leakage of fluids in large process industries has huge nati onal and global economic implications\, this course on ‘Flange Managemen t and Tightening’ is very important. Only trained personnel must be aske d to interface ‘Flange Management and Tightening’.\n\nThis Xcelerate T raining course will empower attendees with comprehensive knowledge about ‘Flange Management and Tightening’.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n Unders tand features of a flange and types of flanges\n Appreciate the advantage s and disadvantages of flanges in oil\, gas and petroleum industry.\n Lea rn about types of gaskets used as sandwiched layer between flanges for sea ling\n Appreciate the importance of bolts and nuts and materials of const ruction\n Understand concepts around torque and optimum torque\, as appli ed to flange tightening\n Management around flange tightening\n Comprehe nd flange bolt-tightening procedure\n Study various serious incidents due to leaking flanges in gas and petroleum industry.\n Understand care of f langes and gaskets.\n Learn about some special tools and equipment used i n flange tightening\n Note the causes of corrosion and failure in flanges \n Heed the instructions by package suppliers / vendors on tightening the flanges in their equipment/packages\n Learn about some specialized agenc ies who carry out specialized flange tightening\n Be aware of further adv anced training and certification avenues available for Flange Management a nd Tightening Course\n\nTraining Methodology\n\n Lectures (Tutor-assisted online and classroom as per prevailing situations/requirements)\n Semina rs &\;
