Hy-Lok offers an intensive eight hour seminar on the development and theory of tube fittings and their relevance to modern fluid systems. Most of the day is spent “hands-on” building a test loop that must pass leak tests and ultimately a high pressure burst test. This seminar is ideal for installers, engineers, designers, automation, instrumentation and maintenance personnel. See testimonals and additional course offerings > Course Certification:

Attendees who achieve the specified standards for correct selection of tube material, correct installation procedures, leak-tightness, pressure holding ability and quality of workmanship will be awarded a numbered certificate. With the introduction of this course it is now possible to set this as an identifiable criteria by which all employees/contractors, involved in fluid system installation, may be assessed, thereby promoting total quality.

Why a Hy-Lok Installation Seminar?

Hy-Lok''s product knowledge and associate training is well known in the industry. When problems arise, regardless of brand or where purchased, we tend to be called in and consulted. Of the thousands of trouble shooting calls we have made over the last 30 years, more than 90 percent are due to installer error. Tube and fitting installation is all too often regarded as a simple procedure with little or no consequences associated with improper techniques. Experience tells us otherwise. Leaks, downtime, blowouts, and personal injury can occur when safe installation practices are not followed. We are all interested in reducing operating costs by achieving incident free operations. This Hy-Lok installation seminar will do just that.

Quality Training from Industry Experts Hy-Lok has brought together a team of professional staff with vast experience in control and instrumentation, process, and hydraulic systems in the following industries: Petro-chemical, analytical, R&D, marine, off-shore, power generation, semi-conductor, pharmaceutical, and bio-technology. Our people are renowned for offering professional advice and promoting Total Quality service. The Training Services Division has been established to supplement this with an appropriate level of professional installation training.
