Expert Witness Services

An Expert witness is called in when complex matters have been brought to light and making a judgement either for or against a specific legal challenge requires an in-depth knowledge of protocol or procedure which may not be easily accessible to a court.

Expert witness cases, particularly oil and gas expert witness cases, usually entail matters of which a court may not have the specific specialisation which is required to make an accurate judgement about the validity of said claims. An expert witness, in all matters, has be free of influence of their side of the argument in order to make a statement about affairs in a non-biased manner.

In the oil and gas reservoir evaluation industry in particular, the services of an expert witness are absolutely essential as contention is very much the name of the game.

The amount of expert witnesses is limited only by the number of specialisations out there – and essentially any specific field can have a number of expert witnesses in a number of respects. Using the example of oil and gas expert witnesses, there are very many fields added onto this such as financial and engineering, legal and even political expert witnesses which have very specific knowledge which is not readily available.

Essentially, an expert witness is called to ensure that specific technicalities cannot be used as a shield or as a cover in judgement. The services of an expert witness allow a court to come to a fair and a just conclusion, no matter how complex the field.

A court can have a series of specialisations and a series of qualifications, but the oil and gas industry demands very specific knowledge. The role of an oil and gas expert witness is to detangle things and present them in objective answers to questions from both sides.

The expert witness is one which is selected based upon his or her year of experience within a certain field, and they are considered the best of all their peers with the most relevance to the industry and the most experience of a certain specialisation.

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...

The Basics Behind Industrial Hoses

Industrial hoses are an incredibly useful tool in a variety of manufacturing and production processes. Their characteristics and accessories can be equally variable, so it is vitally important that you know the basics of an industrial hose and how they can benefit the efficiency of workflow within your industry sector. Here we will look at the precise specifications that contribute to industrial hoses. An industrial hose is a flexible container that takes a shape similar to a pipe, and is quite often made of rubber. These “pipes” are used to transport liquids, gases and certain solids from one part of a machine to another, or even a completely different area of the building. Household hoses that a majority of people are familiar with will usually include the common garden hose; however, industrial hoses are used when larger volumes of substances are in need of transportation. Hoses transport those substances via their water-tight lining made of plastic or rubber, which is als...

Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly. Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the ...
