Work flow

Viewer is designed to be a communication tool, complementing Analyzer. Colleagues are often interested to follow the development of different projects. With Viewer your colleagues can open the Analyzer data file and view information.

With Viewer you can do the following tasks:

• Monitor testing projects
• Monitor evaluation projects
• Communicate

    Functionality

The Viewer functionality has been designed to give a quick overview of a specific project. You can open Analyzer data files to view project information, test data and regression results. With the report function, you can also create reports with testing and evaluation graphs.

In Viewer you have:

• Material information
• Testing information
• Project information
• Test data table
• Regression settings
• Pressure testing graph
• Regression graph
• Strength prediction values
• Copy and paste
• Print

   Applications

Viewer is a communication tool, which makes it easy to share information. If your company has Analyzer licenses, your colleagues can download and use Viewer to open and view Analyzer data files.

It is important to point out that you cannot work with data and results in Viewer. For that you need Analyzer. In Viewer you can only apply the test data and settings available in the Analyzer file.

Viewer is designed for colleagues and partners that would like to monitor projects, with no need to make changes.

   Work flow

The development and classification of materials, product certifications, design of new pipe constructions involves lots of people and lots of test data.

The work flow using Analyzer’s functionalities has been designed for you to accomplish your work successfully.

Data is easily imported from Excel or accessed via a Data Access System. With the data in Analyzer you can perform many different tasks:

• Monitor projects
• Regression analyses
• Assess lifetime
• Compare performance
• Manage results
• Communicate effectively

   Functionality

It is important to monitor projects, perform correct evaluations, draw correct conclusions, keep a good information management and communication capability.

The Analyzer functionality has been designed for everyone working with pressure pipe test data and evaluation results. The broad functionality and the a broad range and the working views are designed for different tasks.

• Testing
  The testing view displays all data in tables and graph. It gives an excellent overview.  the test data. You can check data time distribution and view status of all data.

   Applications

In the past years a lot of efforts have been made to develop evaluation methods, to design standard reference lines, to specify common requirements, service conditions and to provide application standards.

Today, we need to follow the decided rules and regulations. We need to classify materials, assess lifetime for different applications, perform quality control and work with product approvals.

• Resin producers
  As a resin producer you develop new pipe grades and get them classified. Pressure tests are performed both at internal labs and at external testing institutes. You need to compare data and lines, evaluate and predict performance of many different materials and formulations.

   System Overview

The Data Access System is designed for testing laboratories. The system provides a professional data and project management, and an effective channel for distribution of data.

Test data is loaded into the system from Excel or database. System administrators manage the data and provide data access to intended users.

Pipeson design all the Data Access Systems in close collaboration with the client, to assure that all your specific needs are fulfilled.

   Components

Data Access Systems are built using four main components, all purpose designed.

• Test Database
  Contains all test data that should be accessed by different users. Data can easily be inserted from Excel or a database. Equipped with the included Pipeson database modules, we recommend that you move from using Excel to the reliable SQL database.
• Pipeson Web Service
  The web interface used by Analyzer and Access Manager for accessing the data stored in the Test database.
• Pipeson Access Manager
  Administrates user access rights and creates user plugins (encrypted data
  access keys).
  
• Pipeson Analyzer
  The data access client. Users can check for project updates and download Analyzer files.
  

Pipeson makes necessary adaptations of the components to fit your current data management structure and IT environment.

   Applications

As testing lab you perform pipe tests for many different purposes e.g. research, product development, material classifications, product certifications, product validations and quality control.

It is important to have a professional and efficient work flow as time and accuracy are critical. You test data, work with data, communicate data and results.

A lot of added value and time savings can be obtained in all these steps, with a Data Access System.

• Laboratories
  All pipe tests are inserted and updated in the Test Database. The database provides control and reliability. Access to data is set in the Access Manager. User plugins are distributed to all people that work with the data. You have quick data access. Lots of time will be saved as the need for distributing project updates is reduced.
  
• Analyzer users
  Analyzer users can securely access test data from all over the world. Download data and review your projects, whenever you would like. No need to request updates and no need to wait for updates. With the data in Analyzer you can perform all needed tasks.
  

   User Cases

Pipeson have had the pleasure to work with Exova and Kiwa in the design of their Data Access Systems.

Both companies are accredited and fully independent, providing testing and evaluation services to the global plastics piping industry. Every year they start thousands of pipe tests.

Their common objective was to strengthen their internal project and data management, in order to provide improved client service. At the same time they wanted to provide full data access to all their clients around the world.

• Exova Online system
  Exova Polymer in Sweden is specialized in tests for pressure pipes. Exova use the Pipeson Data Access System for internal and external project communication.
