Bristol Series – Corrosion in the Power Industry

Giuseppe will focus on two widespread corrosion mechanisms that routinely lead to large BI claims in the power industry: Corrosion Under Insulation, and Microbiologically Induced Corrosion. He will discuss what causes these degradation mechanisms, as well as how to recognise and prevent them.

Materials Series – Sprinkler Systems and the Potential Problems

A review of sprinkler pipework including, commissioning processes, material compatibility and what can go wrong.

Materials Series – Inclusion Conclusion

Glass is often thermally toughened, and whilst this imparts strength it can also leave it vulnerable to fracture by debris from manufacture; inclusions. Elly will discuss types of glass and the manner in which they fracture.
