What Is Flange Integrity Management?
Flange Integrity Management (FIM) is a methodology to ensure the integrity of flanged connections, minimizing and usually eliminating, integrity-related issues (such as leaks) at start-up or re-start. Moreover, FIM is related to a database with a complete history of every flange on a process plant. Registers, work packs, test packs, certificates, and drawing mark-ups are all created and modified in one system, giving increased efficiency and accuracy. FIM is a system that assures HSE performance and helps manage risks

- Uniquely identify joints that are to be: Opened, Assembled, Tightened, Tested
- Each flange within the project work scope is ’tagged’
- The tags have multiple sections
- The colored sections are perforated to allow ‘tear off’
