Standards for Piping Design and Inspection:
The original ASME B31 Code for
Pressure Piping was first introduced in 1935 as the single document for piping design.
In 1955, ASME began to separate the code into sections…
ACOUSTIC EMISSION TESTING (AET)
Acoustic Emission Test is a type of Non – Destructive Test method generally used for detecting and locating imperfections in mechanically loaded structures or components.
Flaw origination and progression in a stressed component can be identified by acoustic emission test method.This…
Welding and Fabrication
Welding is a major process which is involved in almost all fabrication industries, from general structures to aerospace fabrication.

Welding
Welding – Process of joining similar metals (or thermoplastic).
By heating them to suitable temperature
May or may not require pressure
May or may not require Filler metal
Brazing -Process of joining dis-similar metals.
By Melting and pouring the filler metal and pouring…
Welding is a process of joining similar metals, i.e. Metals with same base content and similar properties or melting point.There are different types of welding methods based on the process of welding. Generally it involves heating of the metal and fusing them, with or…
