In industries where bolted joint integrity is critical—such as oil and gas, energy, and heavy machinery—properly trained personnel are essential to prevent costly leaks, failures, or accidents. The ECITB (Engineering Construction Industry Training Board) Mechanical Joint Integrity (MJI) courses offer comprehensive training in torquing and tensioning, ensuring safe and precise assembly of bolted joints.

Why MJI Training Matters

Bolted joints are integral to industrial systems. Improper assembly can lead to equipment failure, safety hazards, and environmental damage. The ECITB's MJI training addresses these risks by equipping technicians with the knowledge and skills to perform mechanical joint tasks to a high standard.

Course Overview

Advanced Bolting Solutions offers the two core ECITB courses focusing on torquing and tensioning:

  1. MJI10 (Hand Torque Bolted Connection Techniques)
    • Covers manual torque methods.
    • Emphasizes achieving accurate preloads in bolted joints.
    • Focuses on industry standards and best practices.
  2. MJI19 (Hydraulic Tensioning Techniques)
    • Specializes in hydraulic bolt tensioning for high-load applications.
    • Introduces advanced tools and equipment for achieving precision.

Key Learning Outcomes
