A flange is a method of connecting equipment such as pipes, valves, and pumps to form a piping system. It also provides easy access for cleaning, inspection, or modification. Flange management ensures that bolted connection points are correctly assembled and tightened during major repairs, shutdowns, routine maintenance, construction processes, or any subsequent interventions. Flange management is a recognized technique for preventing leaks in bolted flange assemblies.
Easy data analysis, documentation, and traceability.
Savings in time and labor costs.
Efficient and effective data management.
Easy reporting and progress monitoring.
Tools for flange management
Flange leaks should be avoided at all costs. But what causes flange leaks? Inadequate quality assurance in flange management is often the root cause of the problem. The problem is often made up of several elements.
Inconsistent procedures
Unclear quality standards
Unclear responsibilities
Inadequate knowledge of some flange technicians
Inadequate technical training
Unclear if flange maintenance is performed correctly
TimEast Flange Management Services' labeling system and bolting software are designed to meet international standards for the integrity of bolted nodes in pressurized systems. The process of tagging each node using a multi-part flange tag is designed to provide a sound record and collection of relevant management control process data.
Bolt load calculation software gives an idea of the choice of fastening method and tooling that can be used to calculate torque and tension values. Both solutions comply with the American National Standards Institute and American Petroleum Institute standards. Each operating system is self-contained and does not require a link to a server.
TimEast provides experienced planners and inspectors to carry out flange management services related to flange management software, bolt load calculation software, tools, and equipment to ensure the quality of flange management services.
