EnerMech has made a major contribution to a new certification by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for Bolted Flange Joints (BFJ) to improve integrity, safety and reliability across the oil and gas sector.
The Certification programs qualify professionals for specialized knowledge and practical skills to ensure the safety of BFJs in critical applications. EnerMech experts brought decades of field experience to the process, ensuring the certification reflects real-world challenges in high-risk environments.
This is said to be the first recognized credential focused program in oil & gas designed for bolted joint integrity. It validates critical skills in flange joint inspection and assembly, which are essential for safety, environmental performance and operational efficiency.
Improperly assembled bolted flange joints are a leading cause of leaks, unplanned downtime and safety incidents. Ensuring these connections are correctly inspected helps maintain operational safety, environmental protection and system reliability. It also reduces the risk of failures and costly repairs, making inspection a key component in maintaining high-performance, compliant operations.
