In the oil and gas industry,failing to perform ongoing maintenance on equipment can have severe consequences,including reduced equipment service life,unplanned shutdowns and degraded performance.Ongoing maintenance is required to remove rust,corrosion and other accumulated material from the inside diameter(ID)of valves,pumps,piping,diesel engines,motors,natural gas compressors,flow-meters and large-bore equipment.Often,this maintenance work is performed in the field under harsh conditions.Brush Research Manufacturing's large-diameter Flex-Hone tools(FIG.l)are an ideal solution because they can be run with virtually any rotating spindle and are self-centering,self-aligning to the bore and self-compensating for wear.
