12-tonne Winch Cable Termination Validated by X-Ray
The BlueZone Perth facility has completed
termination of a cable fitted to a 12-tonne winch for an Offshore Oil & Gas
application.
After completion of the large termination
job, there was evidence of air seepage into the inner mould causing large air
bubbles. A new technique was applied and to confirm the success of the method
an X-Ray of the complete moulding was taken. The X-Ray confirmed that minimal
air bubbles were present and these were of no concern due to their location
around the inner pins with sizes <2mm.
BlueZone West Coast GM, Mark Musarra, said
he was very pleased to be able to offer the X-Ray service to customers as
Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) for completion of the cable termination and
moulding. “At BlueZone we are always seeking to improve our skills and offer
customers new services which can provide them with the assurance they need for
operating their equipment in the harsh conditions encountered in West Australia
Offshore Oil & Gas fields.”
