So can you explain what they are and how they're used?

Sure.

First off, you've got to keep in mind that a bolted flange joint is more than just some nuts and bolts.

It's a dynamically moving joint.

It's a maintenanceable joint that is not supposed to leak.

In every joint, you've got three major components, which I'm going to call limiting factors.

You've got a flange, you've got the bolts, and you've got the gasket.

Yeah, and then as a follow-up to that question is, can you just tell us a little bit more about your experience or the experience that's needed to be a bolted flange joint assembler or inspector?

Um, so can you explain what they are and how they're used?

Sure.

Uh, it's a dynamically moving joint.
