Overview
The ASME PVP Bolted Joint Reliability Symposium (BJRS) promotes knowledge sharing, technological progress, and international cooperation for advancing sealing technology for the oil and gas, aeronautical, automotive, and nuclear industries. The presentations will disseminate the scientific and real-world knowledge in the area of sealing, including current and future design rules for bolted flange connections based on tightness (ASME SWG-BJ, EN1591), modern flange assembly guidelines and best practices (ASME PCC-1), gasket selection and assembly for obtaining desired performance/reliability (Example LDAR), and sharing of Lessons-Learned and Best Practices of critical applications including hydrogen technology.
