Bolt Tightening Patterns: How to Assemble Bolted Flange Joints Optimally

Hex Technology partnered with Shane Szemanek to research what bolting patterns would take less time to bolt up a flange with. We learned that with newer bolting patterns, we can save up to 30% of the time it takes to bolt up a gasketed flange joint. This can speed up your turnaround time, or even just daily operations!
