Mechanical Bolting
The TSL Bolted Joint Integrity Course provides participants with the essential knowledge and hands-on skills needed for safe and effective bolting operations in industrial settings. This 1-day course covers electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic torque/tension tools, ensuring students can confidently handle bolted connections in structural, mechanical, and industrial applications.
Taught by ASME-certified instructors, this training is designed to meet the highest industry standards. Tech Safety Lines is proud to be the premier authorized training provider in the United States for HYTORC, the global leader in industrial bolting systems.
Throughout the training, students will learn to identify hazards associated with torque/tension applications, understand safe handling and storage practices, and master the setup and use of various bolting tools. The course also covers critical topics such as pressure conversion charts, generic bolting patterns (including the +4 method), and the distinction between mechanical and structural bolting.
By the end of the course, participants will have the practical expertise to apply proper bolting techniques, enhancing the safety, reliability, and integrity of bolted connections in their work environments.
