The CSIR-National Metallurgical Laboratory (CSIR-NML) in Jamshedpur is hosting a five-day corporate training programme on ‘Exposure Training on Metallic Pipes’.
Ten delegates from Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering and Technology (CIPET) centres in Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ranchi, Korba, Guwahati, Balasore, Baddi, Aurangabad and Lucknow are attending the programme.
The main objective of the event is to provide exposure on various metallic pipe components, which are frequently inspected, examined and evaluated by Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering and Technology (CIPET) centres for specific purposes.
The training schedule includes structural characterisation, evaluation of various mechanical properties, non-destructive testing, manufacturing methodology and allied limitations for pipe materials, outline of different inspection procedure as per standards and highlights of in-service material degradation.
Each day’s proceedings will include lectures on relevant areas by eminent scientists, acclimatisation to the experimental practices using various instrumental techniques, handling of data and correlating the outcome with the standards and quality judgement of component material.
Arvind Sinha, chief scientist and advisor management, CSIR-NML, emphasised the impact of such training programme.
Mita Tarafdar, head of the Knowledge Resource and Information Technology (KRIT) division of CSIR-NML, highlighted the overall theme of the initiative.
