A joint in a plastic piping system made of, for example, polyethylene (PE) must function reliably for many years, often under high pressure and in critical applications such as drinking water and gas networks. Therefore, it is essential to accurately assess the quality of these joints.
Sometimes liquids occur unintentionally in the gas distribution network. These include, for example, condensed gases from the gas network, often referred to as ‘natural gas condensate’. Liquids in the gas network can be harmful to both human health and the environment. Therefore, correct procedures for removing these liquids are essential. The procedures depend on the type of liquid, which cannot always be determined by visual inspection. Fortunately, there is a solution: infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). This measurement method makes it possible to identify the type of liquid.
A load lifted over someone's head. A circuit that was switched off, but not by the person now working on it. A hose still under pressure after the pump was shut down. A vehicle reversing in a yard where somebody is walking.
Organizations are investing heavily in information security. Rightly so, because cyber threats are increasing and customers expect their data and systems to be well protected. With ISO 27001, organizations can demonstrate that they take a systematic approach to information security and manage risks. But for customers, security is increasingly becoming a given. They also expect services to be reliable, predictable and consistently high in quality.
