Bolted Joint Assembly Principles
go.asme.org/EEUmasterclass Per PCC-1-2013

PD577 ASME STANDARDS COURSE / TOP SELLER
Although the mechanical principles that make a screw or bolt
work are elementary – the inclined plane and the lever – the proper
application of those simple machine principles to seal a vertical
joint or sustain a tower crane under stress, is extremely complex.
For many years, there has been recognition of the need to train, test
and certify craftsmen prior to allowing them to work on significant
industrial applications that may have safety and structural integrity
issues. This course will train and test bolting personnel at the
supervisory level on the technological and practical problems of
assembling bolted joints in large-scale industrial applications.
Participants will enjoy interactive instruction, a student manual with
resource materials, (which includes a one-year subscription to the
most comprehensive on-line bolting library on the web), in-class
demonstrations, and a half-day of practical application, ending in a
skills certification. Participants will also receive the ASME PCC-1 -
2013 Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly
codebook.
