Mark J. Byerley Snr, President of Tinker & Rasor, said he was pleased to marry the synergy of his company’s many years as a quality manufacturer of instruments to industry with the long standing reputation of Anode Engineering’s staff as people who were committed to service and technical support of their suppliers’ products.

“With the global business environment it is now more important than ever to develop partnerships with people and firms who can successfully represent products locally. The internet is great for business but it is no match for dedicated and skilled staff who are on the ground locally – that’s why we have entered into this agreement with Anode Engineering,” Mr Byerley said.

Tinker & Rasor have a range of holiday test equipment for all applications. Their AP/S1 & AP/S2 models are the flagship of their fleet of equipment for thin and thick coating applications. The rechargeable DC batteries provide power to convert to fully regulated pulsed high voltage outputs. This selectable range of regulated pulsed output ensures the signal strength is maintained to ensure unchanged inspection voltages regardless of weather conditions, type or size of exploring electrodes or structure.

The T&R Model AP/S1 & AP/S2 detectors are sealed against dirt, weather and corrosion, providing a degree of reliability which goes beyond expectations. The totally encapsulated electronics delivers the client reliability and a lack of need for maintenance that will be unique for many end-users.

T&R has built their reputation on reliability of their instrumentation, such that it can be taken to the far corners of the earth and not let the operator down nor require a spare one to guard against unit failure, which would otherwise require the pipeline crew to return a unit from nowhere to be repaired.

Not surprisingly this equipment is used internationally by trainers, pipeliners and the industry generally for coating testing with a confidence of reliability and reproducibility on structures of all sizes and shapes.

Anode Engineering staff have already put the equipment to the test in the region with a number of clients. All have responded positively that the units are everything they are reported to be. Whilst service of the units is not generally required due to the reliability factor, Anode Engineering are able to offer a full range of service, spares and accessories for the market.
