Consulting
When I was young, I did not have enough conversation with a mentor. Whether teachers was not enough profs, or I asked they difficult questions.
I'll try to save you from headaches. My knowledge is wide. Besides, I have a great library. You can get a little advice and citations from the standard. Be brief. «Brief» it means that You can get a small but clear answer. Complex answers - is a separate conversation.
API Standards - API 5L, API 579, API 610, API 619, other).
ISO, EN Standards - NDT inspection of pipes, vessels, compressors, pumps, turbines, materials and units etc.
ASTM, ASME Standards - calculation of strength (ASME B31.g) using results NDT inspection of pipes, vessels etc.
Non-destructive testing
Well. I can perform inspection of conventional NDT methods. I will perform non-destructive testing at high level, because for many years this is my hobby. And if I still have a little time left, I will apply for the inspection that any of my inventions. Or invent something new. If You want.
VT - conventional and including the measurement of sizes of objects (theodolite, level, pipe and deviation from roundness).
UT - conventional and including training of personnel with Omniscan MX2 simulator.
MT - conventional and including magnetoelastic stress state control method.
ET - conventional and including the use of the device and the sensors of my design.
VA - vibration measurement and monitoring including the use of the device and software of my design.
Devices development
So it happens that someone says at the meeting: "Now, if we had smth measuring instrument - a contract would have performed!"
My favorite answer: "- Well, if you really need - will created! - Software? Device? Ok!" Quickly, because it is not a corporation with hundreds of employees and technical discussion extends a few weeks. Simply because I am clearly understand that you want to measure.
So were created:
-
Transmission function for acoustic emission signals (path: source-probe).
-
Electromagnetic tension state scanner.
-
Vibrometer (Discrete Fourier transform).
-
Pipes strength calculator ASME B31.g.
-
Pipe Out-of-Roundness laser meter.
-
3D Gas compressor station (75bar).
- Bending stress calculator for pipes.
- Eddy current crack detector.
- OLIMPUS OMNISCAN MX2 simulator.
Expertise of projects
Determination of technical condition is a complex task. Carrying out non-destructive testing helps to identify defects. And if you make a mistake in the design phase? Examination or at least technical documentation analysis - it's the action that will prevent global mistakes.
-
Building construction (ISO 3443, ISO 6242 etc).
-
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME).
-
Pipelines for Oil & Gas (API 5L, ISO 13847 etc).
-
Unfired Pressure Vessels (EN 13445, EN 286, EN 13458, EN 14197 etc).
-
Technical specifications for pumps (
-
Vibration of objects (ISO 10816, ISO 4866, ISO 7919 etc).
-
Technical product documentation (ISO 3098).
Expertise of objects
Based on the results of technical diagnostics an expert can draw conclusion about possibility of further exploitation of object or prescribes recommenation of repair or replacement some components. Here does not do without application of calculation.
-
Building construction.
-
Boilers for hot water and steem.
-
Pipelines for Oil & Gas (including supply).
-
Vessels under Pressure (including pressure chambers for people).
-
Pumps (including reciprocating).
-
Gas-supply equipment, gas- and oil pumping stations, gas-distributing stations.
-
Steam-turbines (steam pipelines, exchangers and other equipment of power plants).
Computation
Calculation of strength , even the elementary can give very important information about the object in addition to non-destructive testing results. Engineering flair plus a knowledge of mathematics - these allow me answer the following questions:
-
whether working the product;
-
how long its the lifetime;
-
how to extend the lifetime;
-
failure reason;
-
whether correctly interpreted the data NDT.
Standards - API 5L, API 579, ASME B31.g,
EN 13445, etc.
Theory - Gaussian, Student distribution;
Fourier transform; elements of
mathematics analyse etc.
