Controller Joint Monitoring software is a bespoke database system specifically developed to plan, monitor, control and provide traceability of flanged joints and connections. This database system interacts with the “Adviser Controlled Bolting Software” calculation engine, runs on the standard Windows operating system and does not require the use of third party database servers. It has been adopted by major plant operators as an essential management system due to its simplicity and comprehensive covering of the plant and related maintenance.

Controller Joint Monitoring software answers to several functionalities requiring full traceability and control of all activities associated with the joint/connection : Joint disassembly/breakout Machining/re-facing Joint assembly Bolt tightening Testing(Hydrostatic, Pneumatic, Nitrogen or Helium) Leak history and incidents

It interacts seamlessly with “Adviser Controlled Bolting” software to provide bolting calculations and data for : BS1560/ANSI B16.5 standard flanges MSS SP44 standard flanges API 6A and 17D standard flanges Clamp type connectors(Techlok, Grayloc, Galperti and Destec) Non-standard joints, i.e. pressure vessels, heat exchangers, compact flanges, etc..

Controller Joint Monitoring software allows project control and review by visual status display of each joint.

It performs as a central source for documentation and records associated with each activity or task. It provides joint tightening procedures and methods, generates tooling lists and provides and maintains historical data for each joint. It integrates a search engine to find and display specific flanges/records and it’s embedded equipment database providing access to service records, tool calibration, etc..

And the embedded personnel database provides access to individual training, competence, qualifications, etc.. Completed joint databases can be viewed and interrogated by a freeware viewer which can be freely distributed
