Jamshedpur: A five-day ‘Exposure Training Program on Metallic Pipes,’Â ETMP’23, commenced today at CSIR-National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML). The program, which will run until September 15, 2023, has drawn participants from ten different centers of the Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology (CIPET) across the country. This training initiative aims to provide these officials with an in-depth understanding of metallurgical research, particularly concerning metallic pipes.
The program offers a comprehensive insight into various aspects of metallic pipes, including the fundamentals of physical metallurgy, mechanical and corrosion behavior, and welding metallurgy. Participants will also receive valuable insights into relevant industry standards, which will aid them in assessing the quality of metallic pipes on-site.
The inaugural function of ETMP’23 was inaugurated by Dr. Sandip Ghosh Chowdhury, Chief Scientist, and Head of the Materials Engineering Division at CSIR-NML. During his welcome address, Dr. Chowdhury highlighted the significance of the program in the context of new product development, quality assessment, and plant site improvements. The event proceeded with an introductory session to familiarize the participants with the program’s objectives and expectations.
Dr. Snehashish Tripathy, Senior Scientist at the Materials Engineering Division and Technical Coordinator of the program, delivered a formal vote of thanks, concluding the inaugural function on a positive note.
The training program will encompass a wide range of activities over its duration, including the exploration of basic theories, detailed case studies, and practical demonstrations. It is anticipated that this training will equip CIPET officials with valuable knowledge and skills to contribute effectively to their respective roles in the field of metallurgy and quality assessment.
ETMP’23 at CSIR-NML represents a collaborative effort between academia and industry, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development in the field of metallurgical research and its practical applications in the context of metallic pipes.
