The evaluation of torque in threaded connections

Professionalism, training, and involvement with leading experts in the field

Comastri Distribution in collaboration with Stefania Accorsi, Nicolò Vincenzi and Massimiliano De Agostinis, will hold a workshop on torque evaluation in threaded connections.

A unique time of discussion and training, which will see participants engaged in a day of in-depth study on

Why participate?

Staying up-to-date through dedicated workshops is critical to staying on top of the game.

This is precisely why our workshop is not just an event, but a day of training in which the participant has the opportunity to enhance his or her industry knowledge and have a direct confrontation with experts in the field .

A dynamic workshop in which there will be learning moments, practical examples of applicability and practical use of the tools currently on the market, and moments of discussion.

Speakers of the day


Throughout his career, he has conducted his research in the areas of mechanical design and machine building. Major research interests include joining techniques, in particular: threaded joints, adhesive, friction and hybrid joints. Research has involved experimental characterization, numerical modeling, and design of joints for application in the automotive, earthmoving, and industrial sectors.

Mechanical design manager for the Giuliani, Vire and Zetautomation divisions of Bucci Industries Group. An experienced Mechanical Design Manager and with a proven decade of experience in the machine tool and mechanical engineering industry, he has developed strong expertise in finite element analysis, project management, lightweight design, robust design, lean thinking and mechanical engineering.

He has gained extensive experience in areas such as quality, metrology, and industrial contamination in various companies, accredited calibration laboratories, and training institutions. His firm recently obtained accreditation as an organizer of interlaboratory proficiency testing for the calibration field.

It has been operating as an industrial representative for products in pharmaceutical, automotive, food and electrical sectors for more than two decades. Since 2018, it has started Comastri Distribution, expanding sales into online channels as well.
