So when I am talking about defending a decision that you made, let me add some context, not every industry that has welding, has the same level of scrutiny involved with it. If you are welding sheet metal, rebar or farm equipment you probably are not going to have a high degree of scrutiny involved in what you are doing. The client most likely will look at your WPS and give you the go ahead. Nuclear, aerospace, oil and gas (duplex SS) you are going to have a lot of scrutiny and oversight involved in the decisions that you make. You are most likely going to have to submit your WPS/PQRs to the end client for review. Down here in Houston Tejas - you will probably have your documentation reviewed by a couple of OSU - PhD types that are working for the oil majors, and they go through ever page of your 78 page PQR on why you choose a specific filler material to make the super duplex weld. Or maybe you spend an hour arguing about the PREN # (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) and the heat input on your second pass in a 18 pass weld joint. Out at the Hanford Nuke Site - DOE facility - nothing gets through the review process the first time. Almost nothing - and generally everything evolves into a "rock fight" and after the third iteration you get your welding documents approved. So this is what I am talking about when discussing having backup documentation to defend yourself. I am talking about going into a conference room knowing that it is going to be a "rock fight" between you and the reviewing party to get your WPS/PQRs approved.

What is a canned motor pump? When to use canned motor pumps? Which configurations are canned motor types from API 610? A canned motor pump is a type of centrifugal pump where the pump and motor are integrated into a single sealed unit, eliminating the need for a mechanical shaft seal. They're often used in applications where leakage is a concern, such as handling toxic or hazardous fluids. Canned motor centrifugal pumps are typically used when there's a need for high reliability, zero leakage, and low maintenance. They're common in industries like chemical processing, petroleum refining, and nuclear power. Canned motor pump arrangement as per API 610 is OH6, VS6 & VS7. OH6: This pump configuration, also known as an "overhung" pump, is a type of canned motor pump. It's a specific design within the API 610 standard that features a single-stage, overhung impeller arrangement with a canned motor. VS6: This configuration refers to a vertically suspended, single-casing, single-stage pump with a canned motor. It's suitable for applications where space is limited or where the pump needs to be installed below ground level. VS7: This configuration is similar to VS6 but with a double casing. It's also a vertically suspended pump with a canned motor, but it has an additional outer casing for added protection and containment. #Rotatingequipment #Rotary #API610 #Centrifugalpump #Machinery

Any business is as good as the people working for it. This is why continuous improvement is necessary. Yesterday I had the great opportunity to attend a fantastic training session about Cost Estimating which will enable us to provide better services to our customers. It is true that learning never ends. #learning #development #veolianuclearsolution #businessimprovement

Hinkley Point C | Unit 2 pools accelerated with welding technique and heavy lift cranes return Synergic metal active gas (Smag) welding is being used at Hinkley Point C’s Unit 2 reactor to increase construction efficiencies, while the world’s largest tower cranes have returned to the site as construction ramps up. Hinkley Point C nuclear island director Simon Parsons said in a video released by the nuclear power company: “We are typically building Unit 2 20 to 30% faster. It’s the same job, but we’re learning better ways to do it.” One of those more efficient practices is using Smag welding for the pools in Unit 2. Engineers decided to test this approach as they found that Unit 1’s pool panels got too hot during welding, which led to distortion and meant re-working was needed. Additionally, teams needed to work in sequences to allow panels enough time to cool before building up the weld. Hinkley Point C said that “this was inefficient, especially when welding at height, as it required teams to frequently change position and amend scaffolding for access. “On Unit 2, a different welding technique (Smag) was proved to meet stringent nuclear standards without causing the same heat and distortion issue.” Use of Smag has seen welding for the pools in Unit 2 being completed four times faster than those in Unit 1, “with minimal distortion and weld defects”, according to those working on the project. A Hinkley Point C spokesperson indicated that the Smag welding technique itself is not new, but it has never been used in this type of nuclear application. They also highlighted that the team behind the build had to work with the designer and regulator to make sure everyone was satisfied with the innovation. An Office for Nuclear Regulation spokesperson (ONR) said: “We take an enabling approach when supporting new methodologies proposed by dutyholders. “We are working alongside Hinkley Point C at each stage of development to ensure that the arrangements they propose are robust, and that all aspects of design and construction are carried out to the highest safety standards and meet our regulatory requirements.” Marr Contracting return world’s largest tower cranes Australian firm Marr Contracting was warded the lifting contract by Hinkley Point C main works contractor Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O’Rourke (Bylor) joint venture. Bylor was awarded the contract for main civil engineering and construction works by EDF in 2017. The crane company will provide specialised heavy-lifting crane services for the construction of Hinkley Point C’s Unit 2 Turbine Hall. https://lnkd.in/etUG9Gpt
