Inspection, testing and quality control
Contrôle Mesure Systèmes (CMS) is
a specialist in non-destructive testing,
and with a complete range of products
in eddy current and ultrasonic methods
can supply solutions for most industrial
applications.
CMS’s product line is designed to meet
inspection, testing and quality control on
both ferrous and non-ferrous products,
including steel, copper, alloys, carbon
steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
Applications for tube, bar, pipe and
wire inspection include surface flaw
detection by eddy current rotating
head; internal and dimensional flaw
detection by ultrasonic rotating head;
tube inspection with product in rotation;
full body and/or weld of welded tube
inspection; full body and/or ends of
non-welded tube inspection; defect
detection on double wall tubes; heat
treatment, hardness, coating verification
and measurement; supra conductor
wire inspection; multiple line inspection;
hot rod inspection; material sorting; and
exchanger tube inspection.
All the systems (on-line and off-line)
meet quality standards such as API,
ASTM and DIN.

NDT for pipelines to feature strongly at
materials testing exhibition
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
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 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.
