In the context of complex industrial plants, the proper management of bolted flanged joints represents a critical element to ensure safety, operational continuity, and long-term reliability. It is precisely within this framework that the new training program developed by VED Srl is positioned, designed to transfer advanced technical skills and consolidated operational methodologies.
VED is pleased to announce the launch of the theoretical course with practical demonstrations dedicated to the management of bolted flanged joints with interposed gasket, applied to piping and pressure equipment.
A Structured Approach Between Theory and Practice
The course is designed to provide a comprehensive and operational overview of the flanged joint system, integrating regulatory, technical, and application aspects. The program is developed through progressive modules that systematically address all involved elements:
- Fundamentals and units of measurement related to tightening
- Types of flanges according to international standards (ASME, EN)
- Characteristics and behavior of bolts
- Classification and selection of gaskets (metallic, semi-metallic and non-metallic)
- Specific applications on valves and heat exchangers
- Advanced flanged joint management models according to international standards
Particular attention is given to practical exercises, thanks to the use of real equipment and demonstration mock-ups, allowing participants to directly apply the techniques learned.
Key Skills for Plant Reliability
During the training program, participants will acquire essential skills to operate in a conscious and professional manner:
- Reference standards for flanged joints
- Correct selection of gaskets and bolts based on the application
- Controlled tightening techniques (torque and tensioning)
- Leak prevention strategies
- Principles of predictive maintenance applied to flanged systems
In an industrial context increasingly oriented toward safety and operational sustainability, certification of competencies represents a distinguishing factor to ensure high performance and reduce the risk of plant downtime.
Course Organizational Details
The course will take place at the VED operational site in Mogliano Veneto (TV) and is structured into two independent sessions:
- 21 – 22 April 2026
- 26 – 27 May 2026
Duration: 2 days
Maximum number of participants: 8
Cost: € 1,200 per participant
The limited number of participants ensures a high level of interaction and highly effective learning.
Training Materials and Equipment
Each participant will have access to a complete set of tools and materials, including:
- Specialized technical handouts
- Flange and gasket samples
- Manual, electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic equipment
- Hydraulic tensioning systems
- Measurement tools for monitoring bolt elongation
This equipment allows simulation of real operating conditions and the acquisition of skills that can be immediately applied in the field.
Investing in Skills to Protect Industrial Plants
Proper management of flanged joints is not only a technical matter but a strategic factor for the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of industrial plants. Errors in component selection or tightening procedures can lead to leaks, inefficiencies, and significant risks.
Investing in training therefore means reducing operational criticalities, increasing reliability, and ensuring production continuity.
