ESAB warrior meets welding needs of offshore industry fabricator


C


ontrol Industrial Contracting Co. Ltd. (CIC) of Abu Dhabi purchased its first ESAB Warrior 500i multi-purpose welding machine in 2013 because of its versatility and the support services that ESAB could offer. It immediately proved its suitability for the welding applications required and since then the


company has gone on to invest in 47 more. CIC fabricates and assembles cranes, including ship-to- shore and gantry cranes used to handle containers. The company is also looking to extend its services into the fabrication of products such as oil and gas modules, fixed platforms, top side decks and jackets. Quality, safety and environmental standards are major commitments for CIC and many of its welders already had extensive previous experience with constant voltage and constant current welding. To achieve cost savings in their welding operations, CIC listened closely to ESAB's proposals,


paying


particular attention to the features of the Warrior 500i including its inverter technology for energy efficient performance. The decision to invest was also based on Warrior's multi-process capability covering Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), which is employed extensively by CIC, Manual Metal Arc (MMA), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), Metal Inert Gas (MIG), and arc gouging.

Inteliair has been developed by engineers with 40 years of industry experience in the UK with this aim in mind. Most industry types have extraction and ventilation systems installed whether it be for dust or fumes. Most of these systems operate at full power all of the working day. This has led to energy hungry, noisy and inefficient installations. Inteliair is an ‘on demand’ system which senses when extraction is needed and shuts off inactive areas and adjusts fan speeds accordingly. Many successful installations have been carried throughout a range of industries out and customers are experiencing in excess of 40% savings often giving an ROI of less than a year. This type of control system offers not just cost savings but can expand the capacity within an installation, reduce noise pollution and help organisations achieve their carbon footprint goals. Air movement and air quality managers have ultimate control and can also access the units wirelessly to gather operating data or change the system setup with a simple software interface. All of this is available on existing installations or on new systems.

he EU target to save 20% energy by 2020 and the constant rise in energy costs means that industry needs to implement new controls on equipment wherever


dust cloud of any combustible material will explode if the concentration is above the minimum explosible limit and in the presence of an effective source of ignition. Dust clouds are usually to be found inside process vessels and pipes, but an explosion can also


occur inside the factory workspace if dust layers are disturbed. Legislation introduced in 2002 - the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) - rationalised workplace assessment for fire and explosion hazard identification, and methods of prevention or mitigation. DSEAR requires all workplaces where substances that could give rise to fire or explosion are handled or stored must be fully assessed and protected.


The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology offers 1 day short courses on: Dust Explosions – demonstrate DSEAR/ATEX compliance; 29 October 2014 or 21 April 2015 Dust and Powder Containment in the Process Industry; 28 April 2015

eat and flame exposure poses a real risk to worker safety and can have a devastating effect if not assessed and managed with the appropriate level of protective clothing. In 2010-11 alone there were over 3,000 burn related injuries in the workplace, three of which were fatal. This demonstrates the life-changing consequences of inadequate thermal protection when working in a high risk environment. As the UK’s leading safety company, Arco has developed a new range of FR (flame retardant) garments for those at risk of exposure to heat and flame in the workplace. Under the new brand, ArcoPro, all products offer multi- norm protection and have been designed and developed to excel in the most strenuous of safety tests including unique garment combination tests that incorporate Thermo Mannequin and Thermal Protection Performance (TTP) testing. All ArcoPro garments comply with the Category III requirements of the European Personal-Protection Equipment (PPE) directive. ArcoPro sits alongside a carefully selected range of proprietary brands, including Dapro, Microgard and Roots and garments made from GORE-TEX® and Nomex® fabrics. With a deep understanding of customer protection needs, Arco’s product experts have developed a layering system that provides increased levels of protection from heat and flame hazards. The range includes base layer, mid-layer, coveralls and outerwear garments that offer a choice of protection levels designed to suit a range of budgets.

Low resistance measurement guide in new A5 format


C


ropico’s popular illustrative guide providing an overview of low resistance measurement techniques, common causes of errors and advice on how to avoid them is now available in a handy A5 format. The free, colour 34-page ‘Guide to Low Resistance Measurement’ features tables of wire and cable characteristics, temperature coefficients and formulae to enable the user to select the appropriate measuring instrument and measurement technique. It includes a helpful section explaining the role and importance of resistance measurement in the manufacture of electronic components, switches, relays, connectors cabling, electric motor and generators and fuses. Information on resistance measurement requirements in the automotive and railway utilities industries has also been featured. There’s a useful Glossary of Terms at the end of the Guide, providing an easy-to-follow explanation of items relating to both bonding and earth resistance, as well as common industry acronyms such as DMM (digital multi- meter), DUT (device under test) and AWG (American wire gauge).
