The amtec training flange is used for the measurement and visualization of bolt forces during the tightening process under real mounting conditions. The pair of flanges (DN100/PN40) is assembled with eight screws (M20), all of which serve as force sensors. The user-friendly amtec software, developed specially for demonstration purposes, shows the bolt forces in various graphics. The device clarifies the following parameters which are relevant for the quality of a proper flange connection:

• force path during tightening of the bolts
• influences of different tightening procedures
• distribution of the gasket stress
• different behavior of different gasket types (stiff and soft gaskets)
• the proper use of a torque wrench for precise application of the specified torque

The training flange is mobile and can be disassembled without tools, stored and transported in a practical aluminum case.
The weight-optimized design makes the entire device comparatively light, which means that there are no obstacles to conducting demonstrations on the go.
