BFJA Microcredential Level 3

ASME’s Bolted Flange Joint Assembly (BJFA) Program provides formal On Demand training fostering a deeper understanding of topics and concepts defined in ASME PCC-1 Appendix A. There are four levels of training required for an assembler to meet the intent of the standard’s requirements. An ASME digital microcredential is awarded at the completion of each level. These are issued to individuals involved in the assembly and maintenance of bolted flange joints for those in job roles such as piping engineers, maintenance technicians, quality assurance/control personnel, pipefitters, boilermakers, inspection engineers, bolted flange joint inspectors, welders and safety professionals. The skills earned are detailed below:

Level 3: The individual should be knowledgeable with in-depth concepts of assembly requirements such as proper use of manual tightening equipment methods and pre, in-process, and post assembly quality assurance. They should also be familiar with the reasons why the majority of requirements for bolted flange joint assembly exist. Note: this level is a pre-requisite for Level 4.
