SPM FOR FLANGES: THE GAME-CHANGER YOU NEED
UP TO 80%
FASTER FLANGE ANALYSIS
Reduce time required for flange analysis for optimized OPEX.
REDUCE LEAKS
WITH HIGH FIDELITY MODELING
Refineries have thousands of flanges – each a potential leak point.
REDUCED
HSSE EXPOSURE
Data-driven decisions improve safety and reduce environmental risks.
WHAT YOU NOW CAN DO
Easily optimize bolt tightening and reduce risks to keep your joints secure and leak-free.
Optimizing Bolted Joint Integrity
- Bolt Torque: Calculate optimal torque and maximum limits to prevent overstressing.
- Flange Tightening: Develop precise sequences for even stress and leak prevention.
- Bolt Tensioning: Determine exact tension values using hydraulic methods, including multi-pass.
Bolting Configurations & Material Insights
- Bolting Configurations: Compare structural integrity of full vs. partial bolting.
- Piping Thickness Impact: Our FEA framework determines true bolt stress limits for all pipe thicknesses.
Risk Management & Performance Evaluation
- Hot/Half Bolting: Implement risk-based strategies to minimize downtime safely.
- Leak Probability: Estimate leak likelihood through gasket stress analysis.
- Design Changes: Assess impact of changes to gaskets, bolts, or flange faces on performance.
- Risk Assessments: Conduct comprehensive evaluations under varying loads and conditions.
HOW AKSELOS SPM FOR FLANGES DELIVERS WHAT TRADITIONAL TOOLS CAN’T
MINIMIZE UNPLANNED DOWNTIME
Detect potential failures early to prevent costly leaks and shutdowns. SPM for Flanges identifies weak points like gasket stress and bolt relaxation before they escalate.
ACCELERATE TURNAROUNDS
Stay on schedule with faster, automated flange analysis. SPM for Flanges delivers clear, visual results within hours, helping you reduce downtime and contractor costs.
IMPROVE SAFETY & RELIABILITY
Make confident, risk-informed decisions to ensure safety. SPM for Flanges provides precise bolt tightening and supports complex procedures like hot bolting, minimizing leaks and high-risk incidents.
FLANGE INTEGRITY REIMAGINED
Easily configurable, lightning-fast, and reliable results for detailed visual assessments that enable faster decision-making
