The Los Angeles Fastener Association added a new required course on “Understanding the Bolted Joint” to its Certified Fastener Specialist program.
The advanced class will demonstrate why tension in bolts and screws is more critical than the applied torque. Course participants will learn calculation of general torque recommendations.
The new Bolted Joint course will be offered April 29, 2008, in Los Angeles. For information contact LAFA executive director Vickie Lester. Tel: 877 607-5232 E-mail: lafaHQ@aol.com Web: lafa.net
There are 190 graduates of the CFS program. More than 600 students have taken a course. Students must complete six full-day training programs offered throughout the year and pass a take-home exam. \�2008 FastenerNews.com
