Gas turbine performance testing – District heating plant of Oradea, Romania

SINT Technology has been involved in the field performance testing activities on a new gas turbine installed in Oradea’s district heating plant in north western Romania.

Our scope of supply was the verification of turbine power output, heat rate and exhaust energy according to ASME PTC 22 Code. Moreover, SINT Technology designed and manufactured a thermocouple rake assembly, which was installed in the exhaust duct of the turbine for high-accuracy total temperature measurement. Our test engineers were also involved in the measurement of the emitted airborne noise and exhaust emissions at the stack.

Compressor performance test – Compression station of Yopal, Colombia

SINT Technology was successfully involved in the field performance testing activities on a new centrifugal compressor installed in the Equion compression station of Yopal, Colombia.

Unit performances have been evaluated according to the international code ASME PTC 10 in terms of head, efficiency and absorbed power on the guaranteed operating point.

Seminar in Acoustic tests in collaboration with SIEMENS (LMS)

Thursday, February 26th, 2015 at SINT Technology headquarter, in Calenzano, will be held the seminar in Acoustic tests, in collaboration with SIEMENS (LMS).

This seminar is therefore dedicated to those who want to learn to deal with noise problems. Application examples will help clarify the basic concepts to those who approach the world of noise engineering, specifically in the automotive, aviation, aerospace and industrial mechanics. During the seminar the various tools of SIEMENS Test and Simulation will be used together and interactively. You will have the opportunity to personally experience the different measurement systems dedicated to acoustic characterizations and perform experimental measurements.

Participation of SINT Technology at the European Conference on Residual Stresses – July 7-10, 2014

SINT Technology will participate in the next ECRS, European Conference on Residual Stresses, as an established company in the field of Residual Stress measurement.

The 9th edition of ECRS will be held in Troyes, France, July 7-10, 2014: it is a cycle of conferences about Residual Stresses which follows the 8 previous editions held in Karlsruhe (1983), Darmstadt (1990), Frankfurt/Main (1992), Cluny (1996), Delft (1999), Coimbra (2002), Berlin (2006) and Riva del Garda (2010).

It is a convivial gathering of scientists, students and engineers interested by Residual Stresses which is a multi-scale phenomenon that influences most of the physical properties of materials and surfaces.

SINT Technology LAB: Enlargement of the Accreditation ISO / IEC 17025: 2005

SINT Technology Laboratory obtained the extension of ACCREDIA accreditation last 8th May 2014 with Certificate No. 0910.

The list of tests for which the laboratory is accredited can be found on the official accreditation (www.accredia.it). The tests cover measurement of residual stresses area, vibration, modal analysis, acoustics and thermodynamic measurements areas.

ACCREDIA Accreditation:

– Demonstrates the technical competence of the staff, the use of adequate instrumentation,
the impartiality of the personnel performing the tests and judgments
Technical issued by the laboratory;

– Attests to the organization’s compliance and management
Technical UNI CEI EN ISO / IEC 17025.

Accreditation is a voluntary choice of testing laboratories, centers
calibration and certification bodies wishing to give evidence,
internationally, to operate with competence and professionalism
according to criteria of procedural rigor, independence, impartiality and integrity.

A Laboratory accredited to UNI CEI EN ISO / IEC 17025 (SINAL) is is evaluated according to its Quality System, both for their own technical expertise relating to specific evidence. a certified ISO 9001 is evaluated only on the basis of its Quality System.

Esami di primo e secondo livello in estensimetria 15 – 16 Aprile 2014

Gli esami di estensimetria, successivi ai corsi, permettono di ottenere la certificazione del personale addetto alle prove non distruttive, metodo ST, in conformità alla norma ISO 9712:2005.

Gli esami comprendono parti teoriche e pratiche: l’esame di primo livello si svolge in un giorno e quello di secondo livello dura invece 2 giorni. La certificazione è particolarmente importante perché

  1. Dimostra e certifica la Vostra competenza nel settore estensimetrico.
  2. Il risultato di una prova dipende fortemente dalla capacità e dalla competenza del personale che si occupa della misura.

Per maggiori informazioni su quote di partecipazione e domanda di iscrizione agli esami consultate la sezione “formazione” del sito. https://www.sintechnology.com/corso-estensimetria.html
