Technical Overview

Technical Aspects

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
