It Is Ready To Roll Now!
Today’s fastest technology! Its arduous and error prone
The welders do this 150 times in a 10 hour day, run 150 cricket pitch lengths and do this 6 days a week
Bread and butter for MIABW construction
Today’s fastest welding technology was invented in 1886
– the same year that Benz invented the horseless carriage!
and in industry 300,000,000 mission critical welds
TESTS and QA
- The welding technology is 60 years old
- It has never been used on pipelines before
- Used in automated manufacturing industries e.g. automobile components. Several hundred million welds
- Eminently suited to on-line monitoring and quality control
Real Time Control & Parameter Monitoring
Fracture toughness
- 10mmx10mm equivalent
- Average energy as measured 104J
- Code as required 40J
- Minimum energy as measured 54J
- Code as required 30
- Toughness more than adequate
