#ndt Cladded metals are increasingly being used across a wide range of industries, including oil and gas production, power generation plants, chemical, and even marine ship manufacturing. Cladded metals are mainly used to increase the cost-effectiveness of metal structures while preserving or increasing safety and durability. What is a cladded metal Two or more metals can [...]
#ndt The stainless steel pipes commonly used on offshore platforms are susceptible to corrosion and must be regularly inspected. For decades, radiography was the primary method used to detect corrosion in these pipes, but as regulations governing the use of X-rays continue to tighten, radiographic testing (RT) is no longer permitted in some countries. Eddy current [...]
#ndt Optimized for single-handed operation, the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector combines a leading-edge ergonomic design with powerful ultrasonic functionality in an instrument built specifically for rope access and high portability applications. The design of the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector, from form factor to the user interface, is optimized for user comfort, making it easy to use [...]
#ndt As the leading OEM manufacturer of high quality scan systems, SCANLAB GmbH is presenting a new 3D scan solution for industrial cutting and welding applications with multi-kW CO2 lasers at this June's Laser World of Photonics tradeshow in Munich, Germany. The powerSCAN II's low-mass 50 mm mirrors enable small spots together with high dynamic performance. [...]
#ndt Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a popular insulation material for medium- and high-voltage (MV and HV) cable production for its low dielectric loss and excellent electrical and physical properties for power transmission. Prysmian pioneered using HPTE (High Performance Thermoplastic Elastomer) instead of XLPE. HPTE has no cross-linking and no by-products, while it is re-usable, has a [...]
#ndt New probe technology can conduct safety critical testing inside galvanizing kettles equipment while still holding molten zinc at 450°C. Zinco UK Limited and Sonemat Limited have signed an agreement to use the ultrasonic probe technology developed from research which was first conducted at the University of Warwick. The galvanizing process involves the immersing chemically cleaned [...]
#ndt Zetec Inc., a global leader in nondestructive testing (NDT) solutions, presented Fermat Inspection Technology Co. Ltd. of China, with its Gold/Platinum Market Leadership Award during the Zetec 2017 Channel Partner Meeting in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, June 12-14. SlovCert spol. s.r.o. of Slovakia received the Bronze/Silver Market Leadership Award. Zetec Market Leadership Awards recognize independent [...]
#ndt As product and manufacturing specifications tighten, imaging for industrial quality control (QC) faces challenges. For one thing, the tolerances that parts must be inspected to are more exacting. For another, specifications for layer composition, subsurface features, surface roughness and other characteristics also are more stringent. At the same time, required throughput often is increasing. Imaging [...]
#ndt Preventive maintenance is indispensable for proactively reducing the likelihood of failure or malfunction of oil, gas, petrochemical, and energy sector equipment. Preventive maintenance necessarily includes regular inspections to detect failure modes that could be caused by under-insulation corrosion, manufacturing defects, or natural disasters. All industrial equipment is built upon the harmonious performance of several parts [...]
