A European first: Flexitallic & the AJI introduce the Flange Assembly Demonstration Unit (FADU) to enhance accredited training courses in Aberdeen.
European first as Flexitallic & The AJI use FADU rig to enhance training courses.
The Academy of Joint Integrity was launched last year to raise awareness of sealing technology and to provide professional accredited training services to support its global client base.
It remains essential that gaskets and sealing products are installed, assembled and tightened to industry best practice, so to enhance the training to an unrivalled level, The Academy of Joint Integrity (part of the FDS Group which includes Flexitallic and Novus Sealing) has invested in another state-of-the-art FADU specifically for North Sea customers.
The FADU enables the user to tighten a bolted joint and see the impact of tightening procedures on screen through the innovative load monitoring software. The benefits of this interactive training are already being appreciated in Aberdeen with many operators and engineering firms signing up for training and lunch and learn sessions.
Gary Milne, Group Technical Training Manager, said "the FADU is a fantastic tool for both the trainer and the candidate. The trainer can easily convey the complex interactions of the flanges, bolts and gasket, whilst the candidate can clearly see the importance of following correct procedures".
