It’s NO bolts!!
Found by us during a compliance audit at site – sadly not the only one.
Our QA teams are still finding far too many issues with bolted flange joints in the chemical industry.
Loose bolts, over-torqued bolts, no bolts, short bolts, incorrect type/size gasket, no gasket! no bolt lubrication, misalignment….the list is endless.
We are about to see some very large turnaround events across the UK this year.
Wake up industry. Please 🙏
