18/01/2017 Eddyfi launches new fillet weld probe
As a world leader in electromagnetic inspection technologies, Eddyfi has announced the launch of the Sharck fillet weld probe. It is designed around the well-known tangential eddy current array technology (TECA), which is specifically made for carbon steel crack assessment. The technology not only allows the position of a crack to be established and its length measured, but it also allows for measurement of its depth, with minimal surface preparation. Similar to the Sharck butt weld probe, this version can tolerate a lift-off (paint or coating, for example) of up to 3 mm.
17/01/2017 DNV GL brings QRA studies into digital age
To help the oil & gas industry get more value from QRA reporting, DNV GL has launched a new online quantitative risk assessment service called MyQRA. MyQRA provides an interactive dashboard allowing a view of project and asset risk results in ways not possible in a static QRA report. The dashboard makes it easier to understand hazards and make day-to-day decisions. DNV GL has also issued a new Recommended Practice (RP) – DNVGL-RP-G107 – providing guidance on more efficient updating of risk assessments during operational phases.
