EEMUA is pleased to welcome The Academy of Joint Integrity into membership as an Associate.

The Academy of Joint Integrity was created to provide international accredited/certified training courses in flange integrity and sealing technology. The Academy is a member of the Flexitallic Group who manufactures and supplies a wide range of innovative gasket and sealing solutions to engineers working in a wide range of industries.

Bolted flanged connections have been identified as a major safety issue in all industries, while ageing assets provide specific challenges with corrosion and challenging fabric maintenance issues – the Academy provides an insight into solutions for these challenging conditions.

On becoming an EEMUA Associate, the Academy commented: “EEMUA is at the forefront of establishing safe practice across a range of industries and technical disciplines, demonstrating its members’ involvement in tackling the issues of the day. It is the voice of the user in front of regulators and legislators, and drives standards development to ensure that approaches are pragmatic and practical, representing the way its members run their assets. This is perfectly aligned with The Academy of Joint Integrity who are represented on various international standards committees, while delivering accredited joint integrity and flange management training, plus on-site services to key COMAH facilities and downstream chemicals production/ storage facilities.”
