Introduction:

This document has been written as an introduction to and a source of

general information on pipe joints.
The flanged joints appear deceptively simple but in- fact the science of
flanges and joint sealing is complex and continuously developing.
A pipe joint is thus relies on the skill and application of the FITTER
who puts it together. Correct selection of material, application of
procedures, correct use of tools combined with the fitter’s skill are all
required to ensure a joint of maximum integrity.
But mistakes do happen- choosing the wrong gaskets, using wrong
bolting, such mistake cannot be ignored.
The purpose of this manual is therefore to increase understanding about
pipe joints, from pipe specifications and how to use them. With
increased awareness and knowledge, it is expected that mistakes will be
prevented.
