Tightness and Integrity

AMTEC is significantly involved in "tighness and intergrity of (bolted) flanged joints" - since more than 40 years.
Involved in standardization, involved in industrial application.
On the basis of our experience we developed a procedure, that leads to tight flanged joints in 5 steps.

 
Test Rigs

Function of tightening joints is determined by

  • gasket characteristics

(short term and long term). AMTEC developed test rigs to determine gasket behaviour and characteristics.
If applicable, the results are provided as (standardized) gasket factors.
Test Laboratory
accredited acc. ISO 17025

In our accredited lab, we determine the entire variety of gasket characteristics using state of the art equipment - most of which we have developed ourselves. We do

  • gasket testing and
  • component testing (e. g. for TA Luft approval).
Calculation

On the background of increasing regular demands, flange calculation becomes a center tool.
AMTEC offers services and products:

  • calculation of flanged joints
    (tightness and integrity)
  • software for calculation of flanged joints
  • workshops for analytic and Finite Element calculations

 

Assembly

A top-quality assembly -tailored to the application- is a central topic in tightness and function of flanged joints.

AMTEC provides hands-on training for fitters.

AMTEC provides tools for controlled assembly of flanged joints, like hydraulic spanners and measuring equipment to check bolt forces.

Databases

Databases are a central tool for life cycle management.
Some characteristics of AMTEC databases:

  • storage of all necessary specific data of the individual joints
  • storage of information and experience collected for the joints
  • planning tool for scheduling of services
  • planning tool for spare parts
