May 6, 2011 - PRLog -- In the light of growing interest in effective weld inspection methods and techniques, the SGS Competence Center for Non-Destructive Testing is pleased to invite you to a free 60 minute webinar on an ’Introduction to Weld Root Corrosion on Offshore and Onshore Installations’.

SGS offers its globally available and free webinar on Weld Root Corrosion on Offshore and Onshore Installations in order to inform participants about corrosion mechanisms and inspection methods. Furthermore, attendees of the webinar will have a chance to learn about the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of various weld inspection techniques.
