J U L Y 2 0 2 0 • M A T E R I A L S E V A L U A T I O N 807 Pipe Inspection Gauge Designed to internally scan pipeline walls for condition assessment using patented broadband electromagnetic (BEM™) technology, these pipe inspection gauges (PIGs) are capable of operating in pipes with a wide range of diameters. A primary use is for the inspection of cast iron cement lined (CICL) gas mains at lengths of up to 305 m (1000 ft). To maximize value, the majority of BEM components are universal to suit a range of BEM internal and external scanning tools. A PIG trailer houses the electronics, power, and pneumatics for remote engagement/disengagement of the multisensor antennae to the pipe wall. Rock Solid Group Tullamarine Victoria, Australia rocksolidgroup.com.au Automated System By using Delphin’s ProfiSignal Klicks intuitive programming language and “sequencer” module, users can create their own process control programs without having to learn how to program on their own. Laboratory engineers are then able to automate their own experiments. The created process program is easy to comprehend, amend, and maintain. For accurate data measurement, Delphin hardware is equipped with measurement inputs and analog and digital outputs. Experiments can be set up, started, and analyzed from a PC worksta- tion. Process control is created using the Klicks automation software. CAS DataLoggers Inc. Chesterland, Ohio dataloggerinc.com w SPOTLIGHT w Remote Testing Automated Corrosion Mapping Tool JIREH has developed an automated corrosion mapping solution capable of operating on surfaces up to 350 °C (662 °F). Duty cycling is not required with the SKOOT • HT (high temperature), thanks to its cooling system. Coolant flows to the crawler and 600 mm (24 in.) raster arm, allowing UT inspection on surfaces with temperatures as high as 350 °C (662 °F). The remote handheld controller allows the programming of precise raster paths as well as variable-speed control of the SKOOT system. Magnetic wheels allow scanning on ferrous surfaces, while specially designed cable management protects and organizes hoses and cables. JIREH Industries Edmonton, Alberta, Canada jireh.com
808 M A T E R I A L S E V A L U A T I O N • J U L Y 2 0 2 0 NEW media AM Focus eBook 3dpbm, a provider of news, analysis, and specialized content for the additive manu- facturing (AM) space, has published the fourth edition of the company’s AM Focus eBook series Advanced Materials: How Cutting Edge Materials Are Shaping the Future of Additive Manufacturing. The latest publica- tion spotlights a far-reaching and fasci- nating topic within the AM industry: advanced materials. The latest edition addresses the cutting edge of AM materials today: technical ceramics, continuous fiber-filled composites, refrac- tory metals, and high-performance polymers. Applications include the aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, electronics, and dental industries, among others. 3dprintingmedia.network Modern Manufacturing Processes Book Elsevier has published Modern Manufacturing Processes, edited by Kaushik Kumar and J. Paulo Davim. This book draws on the latest international research on traditional and nontraditional practices, to provide valuable advice on the digitization and automation of the manufacturing industry. In addition to providing technical details for the correct implementation of the latest tools and practices, impacts on productivity and design quality are also examined. The thorough classification of manufacturing processes will help readers to decide which technology is most effective for their requirements, and comparisons between modern and traditional methods will clarify the case for upgrading. This comprehen- sive assessment of technologies will include additive manufacturing and Industry 4.0, as well as hybrid methods where exceptional results have been gained through the use of traditional technology. elsevier.com Proceedings of the International Symposium on Pavement CRC Press has published Pavement, Roadway, and Bridge Life Cycle Assessment 2020 from the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Pavement, edited by John Harvey, Imad L. Al-Qadi, Hasan Ozer, and Gerardo Flintsch. An increasing number of agencies, academic institutes, and governmental and industrial bodies are embracing the principles of sustain- ability in managing their activities. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an approach developed to provide decision support regarding the environmental impact of industrial processes and products. LCA is a field with ongoing research, development, and improvement, and is being imple- mented worldwide, particularly in the areas of pavement, roadways, and bridges. routledge.com w Write Us New Media Submissions New Media features newly published books, websites, videos, and other publications that cover NDT products or the NDT community, and is an excellent way to reach readers who are active in the NDT industry.
