ASME Bolting Institute

HYTORC Training

HYTORC has a goal to educate all those engaged in industrial bolting in the principles and practices that significantly improve safety, quality, and efficiency of bolting operations. We regularly conduct training classes that are designed for a variety of job functions ranging from operators and technicians to managers and engineers. Classes range from a few hours to a few days and can be customized to meet your schedule and specific application focus. In most cases we bring the class to you in order to make training as convenient and economical as possible. HBI offers free courses in Bolting Basics and Basic Operation and Safety and formal fee-based training with certificates from ASME* and OSHA*.
