IPT’s Industrial Fasteners Handbook and Training Manual
Teaching Correct Fastening
IPT’s Industrial Fasteners Handbook and Training Manual are essential reference guides for engineers, draftsmen, supervisors, journeymen and apprentices of all steel-related industries. Aerospace, refining, chemical, pulp and paper, mining, shipyard, construction and fabrication industries all benefit from the information contained within almost 500 detailed pages.
A Complete Course of Study or a Quick, Easy Reference Guide
The IPT Fasteners Handbook and Training Manual are both a program to teach correct fastening methods in industrial schools and colleges, as well as a comprehensive on-site reference for seasoned professionals. Bolting and security system topics range from materials and strengths to threaded and non-threaded fasteners, to adhesives, anchoring systems and more. As with every IPT book, it’s all here!
