Technical Group Webinar

JOIN OUR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY TECHNICAL GROUP (TG6) WEBINAR

Who should attend? 

Anybody interested in the performance of materials in a challenging environment especially hydrogen and sour service. This webinar will be of interest to engineers, technologists and technicians involved in material testing or structural integrity assessments.


What will you learn?

The webinar will cover the status of material testing for both sour and hydrogen service. The transition to hydrogen presents a lot of uncertainty about its impact on properties important for structural integrity; these include tensile properties, toughness and fatigue performance. Sour service while better understood still presents many challenges. This webinar will cover both actual testing and how we apply the results.


Experts from industry will be presenting on a range of topics:

  • Matt Haslett, Team Leader - Environmental Testing , TWI Ltd - Mechanical testing of metals in H2 and H2S environments
  • Bostjan Bezensek, Senior Inspection and Integrity Engineer, Shell - Codification of hydrogen material testing
  • Dr Henryk Pisarski - Using results from environmental testing for structural integrity assessments
  • Dr Jens P. Tronskar, Senior Vice President & CTO, DNV Energy System Singapore Experience with ECAs and associated testing for sour service pipelines to derive flaw acceptance criteria for AUT according to DNV RP-F108


Please note that this event will be recorded.

MEET THE SPEAKERS

DR BOSTJAN BEZENSEK

Codification of hydrogen material testing

Dr. Bezensek has a background in fracture mechanics application to structural integrity. Since 2016 he is overseeing material qualification of sour service pipelines in Shell and since 2021 he is co-leading the Shell internal and the EPRG (European pipeline research group) programmes in material qualification for transmission of gaseous hydrogen by pipelines.

He is the lead author of the EPRG guidelines on small scale material testing in gaseous hydrogen and active in several industry consortia and national standards.


HENRYK PISARSKI 

Using results from environmental testing for structural integrity assessments

Until 2014 Dr Henryk Pisarski was employed by TWI Ltd, Cambridge, UK as Technology Fellow on structural integrity issues concerned with the application of fracture mechanics for the avoidance of fracture in welded engineering structures.

In 2008 he received the Larke-Lillicrap Award from The Welding Institute for his contribution to welding knowledge and in 2019 the Harry Brooker Award for outstanding personal achievement. He chairs the BSI committee ise/101/4 on fracture toughness testing, which is responsible for BS 8571 (SENT testing) and supports BS EN ISO 12135 (fracture toughness) and BS ISO 15653 (fracture toughness testing of welds). He is a member of ISO committee ISO/TC164/SC4/WG3 which is responsible for ISO 15653 and ISO12135. He is a member of the BSI WEE37 committee which is responsible for BS 7910 (Guide to the methods for the acceptability of flaws in metallic structures) and chairs the material properties panel (WEE37/-/07). He is a volunteer with the National Trust at Anglesey Abbey, Cambridge.


MATT HASLETT MBA CEng MIMechE FWeldI IWE

Mechanical testing of metals in H2 and H2S environments

Matthew is Team Leader - Environmental Testing in the Fatigue and Fracture Integrity Management Section, with experience in mechanical and structural engineering. His main areas of expertise lie in fracture toughness testing, mechanical testing, Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA), full-scale testing and bespoke mechanical testing.

Matthew also organises TWI’s training course on Structural Integrity Assessment to BS 7910 and lectures on the Design and Construction module of the EWF/IIW Welding Diploma. He completed his MBA studies and senior leader’s apprenticeship with DMU and NSIRC in 2023.


Dr Jens P.Tronskar 

Experience with ECAs and associated testing for sour service pipelines to derive flaw acceptance criteria for AUT according to DNV RP-F108

Dr Jens P. Tronskar is currently Senior Vice President and CTO of DNV Energy System Singapore, having achieved his MSc in Materials Physics/ Physical Metallurgy NTH from Norway in 1980 and a PhD. in Mechanical Engineering/Fracture Mechanics/Probabilistic Analyses NUS Singapore in 2002. He is a Certified European Welding Engineer (IWE) and a Certified European Welding Engineer (EWE) with 43 years of experience with materials and weld testing, failure investigations, and research for pipelines and offshore structures, as well as sour service fracture mechanics testing. Additionally, he has 30 years’ experience with Engineering Critical Assessment (ECAs) to derive flaw acceptance criteria for AUT of girth welds during pipeline installation.

Dr Jens is a Chartered Engineer and elected Fellow of The Welding Institute, Fellow of Singapore Welding Society and Member of Singapore Welding Society Board of Examiners for International Welding Engineers (IWE) Singapore Authorised National Body of International Institute of Welding. He is also a Member of Board of Advisors to Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
