Mechanical Joint Integrity for Flange Bolted Connections Training & Assessment

IMM Certified Technician in Mechanical Joint Integrity For Flange Bolted Connections Training & Assessment (For Inexperience Personnel)

This cerification scheme is designed to equip workers with knowledge concerning typical flange/clamp bolted connections, covering supplementary health, safety and environment, fundamental theoretical knowledge, assembly and reinstatement, post assembly checking/testing, and periodic inspection. It covers both theoritical knowledge and hands-on skills relevant to LOPC prevention and repair in flanged bolted connections. It provides the theoretical basis and practical competencies required by a worker to sit for assessment so as to be a certified competent technician in Mechanical Joint Integrity (MJI) for Flanged Bolted Connections.

Objectives

To assess and certify workers on their knowledge and hands-on skills/competency concerning flange/clamp bolted connections, which covers supplementary health, safety and environment, fundamental theoretical knowledge, dis-assembly, inspection, assembly and reinstatement, post assembly checking/testing, and periodic inspection ASME PCC-1:2022.
