business & market news
In 1975, MAC led the way
in flux leakage testing
Forty years ago, MAC
engineers introduced
Rotoflux®, a new test
system that could detect
ID/OD defects in heavy-
wall magnetic tubular
products.
Today, MAC’s high-speed
flux leakage systems are
the benchmarks for OCTG
testing throughout
the world.

SSP appoints TGT as service centre
SSP, a manufacturer of instrumentation
valves, tube fittings and tubing, has
appointed Tulsa Gas Technologies
(TGT) as the first CNG PlusTM Service
Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. CNG
Plus Service Centers provide local
support to contractors. Construction
services include assistance with bid
preparation, training, equipment rental,
and material supply for above ground
and underground interconnect piping
needed to build a CNG (compressed
natural gas) station.
“We had a great inaugural year in
2014, but need to move even faster
for contractors building CNG stations,”
commented Gregg Lennon, CNG Plus
application engineer for SSP. “Tom
Sewell at Tulsa Gas Technologies (TGT)
was an early supporter of the new
materials and methods we introduced,
and urged us to find ways of making
them available quicker and without the
expense of less than truckload (LTL)
shipments from Ohio.
“Tom and TGT were not only the
inspiration, but also a willing partner
with SSP. Tulsa Gas Technologies has
24 years of experience building stations
around the world. Being able to provide
CNG Plus tooling, training and materials
is a logical extension for their business.”
CNG station owners will benefit from
lower installation costs, staged tooling
and in-stock tubing. “SSP is helping us
minimise waste and reduce construction
time from days to hours with products
such as 5,500 PSI ¾" coiled tubing,
valves and fittings,” stated Tom Sewell,
president of Tulsa Gas Technologies.
