Training Topics
A cornerstone of Senior Flexonics Pathway is the
sharing of the sum of our technical knowledge.
Click here for a very quick look at some of our
informational videos.
The morning session will focus on piping layout, types,
components and the optimum use of expansion
joint styles. Models of the hardware geometry and
animations of the applications and movements of
various complex configurations such as; in-line and
pressure balanced elbows and double gimbal-hinge
layouts will be shown.
The working lunch will demonstrate the specialized
manufacturing processes with fabrication videos
of; stake welding, expanding mandrel, roll and hydro
forming, resistance welding, trimming, etc.
The afternoon session will be dedicated to the Catofin
process and detail design requirements; floating rings,
purge labyrinth, reverse bevel/plug welds, ply testable
bellows, philosophical approaches to resolving low
allowable stresses. New advanced innovations to
mitigate coking problems.
Additional topics which could be added to the
Mini-Symposium:
