‘Ultrasound’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SGS inspects storage tanks at refinery from SGS SA - Industrial Services, which we summarised at the time by saying "SGS Colombia SA has performed storage tank inspections for the expansion of the Cartagena Refinery. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ITT introduces QLC zero insertion force connector from ITT Interconnect Solutions: "ITT Interconnect Solutions has designed a QLC zero insertion force connector to meet the demanding environments frequently found in applications such as portable medical equipment.".

In July 2009, we covered the news from SGS SA - Industrial Services - take a look at SGS offers non-destructive testing of tanks which says: "SGS Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is able to carry out expert controls, inspections and measurements of tanks storing dangerous goods to ensure business security and safety.".

Take a look also at the news release from Burkert Fluid Control Systems, Flow transmitter has no moving parts, as well as Polytec introduces high-frequency vibrometer from Polytec, and Webinar to focus on guided wave inspection from SGS SA - Industrial Services.
