NDT for pipelines to feature strongly at materials testing exhibition

The event, which is free to attend for registered visitors, takes place at the International Centre in Telford, West Midlands, and is open from 9:30am to 4:30pm on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 September, and from 9:30am to 2:00pm on Thursday 7 September. The British Institute of Non- Destructive Testing aims to promote the advancement of the science and practice of NDT and all other associated materials testing disciplines – particularly condition monitoring.

technologies. The event is organised by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) and will run alongside its annual conference, NDT 2017, providing additional networking opportunities. Paul Fidgeon, chairman of the organising committee, said, “NDT plays a major role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of plant and pipelines. Current trends include the increased use of permanently installed sensors in line with the move towards predictive maintenance, and greater automation. Materials Testing is the most comprehensive event of its type and allows NDT practitioners and end users alike to keep up to date with developments and hear from industry experts.”

The latest in tube and pipeline inspection technology will be on display at Materials Testing 2017, which takes place from 5 to 7 September in Telford, UK. The biennial event is a comprehen- sive exhibition of non-destructive test- ing (NDT), materials testing, condition monitoring and diagnostic technologies. The show comes as new techniques such as the use of permanently installed sensors in pipelines and greater auto- mation offer potential to improve effi- ciency and reduce maintenance costs. Materials Testing 2017 promises to be the largest and best exhibition to date, with more than 70 exhibitors and a wide range of seminars covering the practical aspects of NDT and related
