In addition, Appendix F, “Alternative Flange Bolt Assembly Patterns”, adds faster methods of assembly that will achieve equal or better joint integrity than legacy methods. Applying such lessons learned could offer significant benefits in BFJA safety, efficiency and cost-reduction.

Dec 28, 2010 · Even greater productivity gains are possible through the alternative tightening procedures outlined in Appendix F: “Alternative Flange Bolt Assembly Patterns.” Since the initial release of PCC-1, considerable effort was made to demonstrate that faster assembly methods can achieve joint integrity equal to or better than those obtainable ...
