Roger Lyon retires from BINDT

NDT News >> 
This feels a bit like déjà vu, having already retired from RWE nPower in 2009. Having served 12 years in the Royal Navy, my first involvement in NDT was when my uncle, Ron Burgess (who worked alongside Ron Halmshaw (Past President) in the Woolwich Arsenal), persuaded me to attended the Lloyd’s-approved course on industrial radiography, run by the Kodak School in Pinner, north London. I did quite well for a novice, but that was largely due to the training school being run by John Grimwade (Past President) and tutors Peter Forsmen and Alan Clark (the A Team).

SGS provides hot hydrogen attack inspection for Shell in the Philippines

NDT News >> 
Hot hydrogen attack (HHA) is a form of degradation caused by carbides reacting in steel, thereby forming methane (CH4). The probability of HHA damage in industrial plants is dependent on its partial hydrogen pressure and operating temperature. In the worst cases, HHA may lead to damage, which can have catastrophic results for people and the environment. Since even a minor failure could cause unacceptable downtime and a substantial loss of money, conducting regular hot hydrogen attack inspections is indispensable for detecting failures and discontinuities at the earliest stage possible.
