332 views Technical Discussions Dave Dave 02:18 Apr-30-2002 Unions open to UK NDT Technicians. Does anyone know of any trade unions who's membership is open to UK resident NDT Technicians? As yet I have not contacted any of the various unions directly but was wondering if anyone could narrow the field a little before I started. Any help would be appreciated.                  Reply  Translate  Close   Dave Wilkes Dave Wilkes 05:50 Apr-30-2002 Re: Unions open to UK NDT Technicians. Dave There is no specific union for UK ndt techs and very few bother to join one. but I am sure any UK union would welcome you as a member. Usually they join the union that is strongest in their workplace. For example I used to work in a large boiler manufacturing factory, so I joined the boilermakers http://www.gmb.org.uk If you are working in aerospace or aviation you might want to look at a union that has a large number of members working in that industry. Ask around in your workplace(s) to find out what union everyone else is in. Hope this helps Regards Dave Wilkes Asst Editor http://www.ndtcabin.com "The internet magazine for ndt professionals" NDTCabin                  Reply  Translate  Close   ISAFE3 Intrinsically Safe Sensor System ▼ ISAFE3 intrinsically safe sensor system of Vallen Systeme is especially targeted at the petrochemical - as well as oil and gas transportation industry. The sensor system is designed for permanent monitoring or periodic inspection tasks. Sensors are available for different AE-frequency ranges optimized for corrosion and fatigue crack detection and other applications. The ISAFE 3 sensor system consists of an AE-sensor (model ISAS3) certified according to ATEX/IEC for installation in zone 0, gas group IIC, IP68, 20 to +60 °C, and a signal isolator (model SISO3) certified for installation in zone 2. An ISAS3 sensor can be mounted in atmosphere or submerged, e.g. in water or crude oil. It is supported by mounting tools for temporary (magnets) or permanent (welded) installation. ISAFE3 supports automatic sensor coupling test and can be used with any AE signal processor supporting 28V supply at 90 mA peak, e.g. Vallen Systeme ASIP-2/A.
