MasterDraw B4626 – oil-free tube forming lubricant

tapering of copper, aluminium, carbon steel, stainless steel and titanium type tubing. The product is a smooth, tan and opaque fluid that is soluble in water, so the residues can be easily cleaned from the tube following the forming operation. MasterDraw ® B4626 is formulated with synthetic and inorganic additives that are designed to deliver the high load carrying properties required for

heavy wall carbon steel pipe as well as for stainless and alloy tube forming operations. MasterDraw ® B4626 does not contain any mineral oil in the formulation and does not contain chlorine or sulphur extreme pressure additives.

MASTERDRAW ® B4626 was devel- oped for push pointing, bending stretch forming and flaring of tubular products. The versatile lubricant is usually used in its neat form (not diluted with water) but can be diluted for less demanding jobs. Typical applications include push pointing of oil country tubular goods as well as bending, flaring, pointing and

Coating thickness inspection on concrete substrates

the Elcometer 500 accurately measures the thickness of dry film on concrete and other cementitious substrates up to 10mm thick. The Elcometer 500 is claimed to be three times faster than other technologies, providing 60+ readings per minute in standard mode and over 140 readings per minute in scan mode. The gauge only displays a reading when the signal strength indicator goes green. The gauges and probes are suitable for harsh environments, with a dust- and water-proof design equivalent to IP54, and field-replaceable probe wear tips. The user can simply select the coating material and start measuring: there is no need to set up gates or range values, or know the thickness of the coating. The Elcometer 500 coating thickness gauge can be used in accordance with ASTM 06132, SSPC PA9 and ISO 2808.

THE non-destructive measurement of dry film thickness on concrete is said to be more accurate, faster and easier, thanks to the new Elcometer 500 coating thickness gauge for coatings on concrete. With features including ease of use, robust and ergonomic design, menu- driven colour display, user-selectable statistics, memory, USB and Bluetooth data transfer to PC or mobile devices,
