Awareness of installer training according to EN 1591. In the middle of this month of February, Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology organized, with great success, a training day on the assembly and disassembly of flanged joints in critical services, based on the standard EN 1591-4. This was supported by Epidor Technical Distribution and the manufacturer of flat gasket materials, Garlock. The standard EN 1591 has 4 sections:
In Germany and Scandinavia, the norm is EN 1591 has the status of law, being mandatory. Its application has highlighted the enormous importance of proactive maintenance over reactive maintenance. The implementation of EN 1591 in the process industry is done with a proactive maintenance model that provides greater reliability and efficiency of the installation, therefore, an increase in production and profitability of the plant. All this thanks to the direct impact on the reduction of fugitive emissions, a particularly sensitive issue for any plant. Encourage compliance with the standard EN 1591 is an objective of the action plan developed by Epidor SRT in its commitment to the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
