February 2011 - Dacon signs
agreement with Russell
Russell NDE president, Dave Russell and Dacon
President Martin Stuvik have inked an agreement to share their
technology within their market areas. The agreement allows Russell
and its sister company PICA to market Dacon’s UT PIG (an ultrasonic,
high precision, in-line inspection tool for pipeline inspections)
within Canada and the USA. It also allows Dacon to market Russell
and/or PICA’s electromagnetic tools for pipeline inspection in
Thailand and surrounding areas.
Picture above is a typical UT PIG. UT PIG can
be used in any unlined pipe so long as it can be cleaned
down to bare metal and filled with clean water. UT PIG can
also be used to measure non-metallic liners and plastic
pipelines.
