Have you ever agonized over how to meet or understand customer specifications?
Have you ever wondered when a specification supercedes another specification?
Do you need to feel confident answering a technical question?
Then this seminar was designed for you.

  • You will learn about the consensus standards organizations that govern our industry (ASTM, SAE, ANSI, IFI, ISO, ASME and others).
  • You will get a thorough grounding in the terms and definitions used in fastener specifications.
  • You will study actual specifications and learn how to identify and meet customer and industry requirements.

    Each session will include presentations by recognized industry specialists, every-day hands-on case studies and lots of real-life information. Not generalities: just the facts, the technical facts.

    Your registration fee includes:

  • A full day of training in a small-group environment.
  • Training materials to take back to the job, including Bengt Blendulf’s Fastening Technology and Bolted/Screwed Joint Design, IFI’s Glossary of Terms Relating to Aerospace Fasteners and a list of fastener industry resources.
  • Continental breakfast, lunch, refreshments, and free parking.

    Requirements: Given the advanced technical nature of this program, it is highly recommended that participants:

  • Have at least two years’ experience in fastener sales, purchasing, manufacturing or quality assurance

    Books, documentation and other training materials will be provided. However, each participating company must bring its own copy of IFI Fastener Standards, 7th edition.
