As usual, our company FASTRA, s.r.o. was present not only as a partner of the specialised professional POTRUBÍ 2022 (PIPING 2022) conference, but also as a participant, giving a talk on the topic: Overview of technologies used for the temporary interruption of media flows in high-pressure pipelines.
This two-day event saw the presentation of modern technologies, procedures and materials used in the design, construction, maintenance and inspection of pipeline networks. As is now traditional, the conference also included a presentation of products and services. The aim of this specialised conference was to increase the qualifications, professional expertise and skills of the conference participants.
Piping is an absolutely crucial element in most technical equipment designed to carry a wide range of liquids or bulk materials, and for the transfer of heat. It is affected by various environmental factors and its use generally entails a certain degree of risk. It also often tends to be a critical part of infrastructure in which accidents occur most frequently.
Therefore, traditional scientific disciplines such as materials engineering, diagnostics and regulation are key factors in pipeline safety. Moreover, the transition to carbon-free energy will pose a number of challenges that the industry will have to overcome.
