Course Outline
Rotary Shouldered Connection
COURSE SCHEDULE & CONTENT
The GMI-RSC course is based on API 7-2: Threading and Gauging of Rotary Shouldered
Connections.
The Basic Gauge Measurement Instruction course for Rotary Shouldered Connections is
designed to introduce, familiarize and teach correct gauging techniques for the proper
measurement of rotary shouldered threads utilizing equipment commonly found in the industry.
The course is a full day, eight hour course comprising four sections with a break for lunch.
The student is given a history of gauge use, types of gauges and importance of proper
gauging techniques followed by “hands on” gauging of various threads in both passing and
failing condition. Students are tested for understanding and implementation of lessons and then
graded to achieve passing completion of the course. Students are supplied with a Certificate of
Completion, a course completion identification card and a course overview folder with reference
materials for later use.
