Creaform, a business unit of AMETEK, Inc. and a provider of portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, announced today that it released a new version of VXintegrity software, a solution for surface damage assessments that is accessible to all non-destructive testing (NDT) service companies across multiple sectors.

With 1,000 participants from around the world, the 18th Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) has been larger and more international than ever before: for the first time, the Full-Event-Ticket, which included the seminar program on Monday, was completely sold out.

Q1) How does repurposing existing pipelines for hydrogen use impact their integrity?

The German steel pipe manufacturer EUROPIPE GmbH sold its US production company, the Berg Pipe Group, to Borusan Mannesmann Pipe US Inc., a subsidiary of Borusan Mannesmann Holding AS based in Turkey.

Denmark and Germany have agreed to build a hydrogen pipeline between the two countries, which is expected to be operational by 2028. The pipeline is expected to help Denmark achieve its target of producing 20 TWh of hydrogen from 4-6 GW of electrolyser capacities by 2030, while also catering to Germany's anticipated demand for 90 TWh of hydrogen by the same year.

The newly developed HDD45-E horizontal drilling rig is designed for operation in confined spaces due to its compact design.

The Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) announces the establishment of a Young Pipeliners Engagement Committee (YPEC), a group of young professionals dedicated to promoting young talent in the international pipeline industry.

Dr. ir. Sameera Naib is working as Senior Integrity Engineer at ROSEN. He specializes in remaining life estimations, crack assessments, fracture mechanics, risk analysis and integrity management.

The 18th Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc) is set to take place in Berlin from May 8-11, 2023. Europe's premier address for pipeline industry professionals will offer a look into the pipeline future, with a broad range of 1-day seminars, panel discussions, technical sessions, operator round-tables, award ceremonies and social events.

While the effects of climate change are a stark reminder of how reckless industrialisation can be detrimental to the universe, achieving efficiency, pipeline safety, and business productivity in an environmentally friendly manner remains a real-time challenge in the energy and pipeline sector.
