Program Highlights:

Glass Thickness Measurement and Recording

Thickness measurements taken on a regular basis allow the corrosion rate of a glass part to be monitored, enabling time-to-failure to be predicted and, therefore, allowing planned change-outs to be performed.

Glass Integrity Inspections

These ensure that there are no areas of the glass where the product can come into contact with the underlying steel substrate, since this can cause corrosion of the steel substrate and impede safe working conditions

High Voltage Spark Testing

We use the latest generation of high voltage spark testers which can be used repeatedly on glass without causing damage, unlike older types of spark testers.

Conductivity Testing

This allows the integrity of the glass lining to be measured without the need for a confined space entry.

On-site repair

Expert welders, specifically certified according to national & international standards and codes (EN ISO, ASME, and AWS), provide repair work on site at the client’s premises.

Examples of repairs:

Jacket and jacket collar

Half coil pipes

Other types of repairs on reactors, such as Tantalum plugs, Tantalum patches, PTFE sleeves, stainless steel sleeves/stainless steel glass-lined sleeves.
