When your process safety consultant tells you that “torque” does not matter…
- after you called him/her to ask about it
- after you read about torque in the owner’s manual of the component you are getting ready to install…
it is time to FIND A REAL PROCESS SAFETY ENGINEER.
Torque values are the pinnacle of DEFINING and MEASURING the capability of our PRIMARY CONTAINMENT SYSTEM(s). Without it, we might as well hire Billy-Joe-Jim-Bob and his cousin Dimwhit to work on our process.
Someone pinch me and remind me it is the Year 2023!
