NDE stands for non-destructive testing such as radiographic examination, ultrasonic testing, mag particle testing etc. these tests are common in vessel fabrication, but what about tray fabrication? I will try to post my Q in some other more applicable forum.
A pipe can be heat insulated, or cold insulated. What is the difference? Without the low thermal conductivity of insulating material, what else is going on?
Barges are used to ship large vessels. Are there any size specification (sq. feet) for barges? Or it is really upto the manufacturer? Where can I read details about the construction of these barges. Who makes them? Can you give me some examples of companies who make them?
