1 training , competence , and AwarenessAccredited Flange Assembly and Gasket Awareness of Containment Flanged BoltedConnectionsA bolted joint is one of many criticalcomponents of a upon the contents,pressure, location and purpose of thesystem, leakage or failure of a singlebolted joint , can have potentiallycatastrophic consequences. To meetthis challenge, every operator ofpressurised systems must have in placea system to positively and pro-activelymanage the integrity of bolted is expected that such a system will be part of an asset and/or processintegrity management system, and bebuilt around the principle of continuousimprovement, based on lessonslearned. Ref EI duty holder should ensure thatthe integrity of bolted pipe jointsover the whole life of the plant isaddressed within the should be achieved as a matter of management policy, byspecifically identifying management ofbolted pipe joints within the engineeringdesign, construction, maintenance andoperation standards and procedures.
