Construction projects are a major investment involving many parties, from investors, contractors, to accountants, and even the summer intern who brings you coffee. Every part of the project must fit into a dedicated and meticulously planned-out timeline. Schedules must be maintained, costs must be kept in check, and supplies must be acquired. Project planning must be done with a highly evolved sense of order, or else it all falls into chaos. Each aspect must be layered and thought of before a single dollar is spent. Mistakes cannot happen. Take a closer look at cost and supply for a moment, specifically the galvanized steel piping you need for your next project. Is there a way a specific quantity of galvanized steel piping can be negotiated and purchased? Would it help to put buyers and sellers in direct contact, reducing the needlessly long and drawn out process that exists now? Imagine for a moment you could simply write up exactly what you needed, the timetable for it to be delivered, and the costs you’re willing to pay. Now imagine being able to pick and choose between multiple piping suppliers, all of which are seeking to obtain your business on your terms. Now imagine the suppliers are blind to who else is in the running. Too good to be true, Right? But it isn’t. It’s the Bryzos Bid Blaster, a real-time online negotiating system that allows you to fulfill your request on your terms. Bryzos levels the playing field and offers the opportunity for large and small piping supply firms to compete in a marketplace where advertising firepower is taken out of the equation. A platform that benefits both buyer and seller by removing the noise brought on by aggressive sales tactics. Allow Bryzos to level the playing field and get you the best deal in a timely manner. Bring order to chaos.

Over many years, construction firms everywhere have taken great strides to complete their projects on time and on or under budget. Yet imagine a nightmare scenario when a project planner over calculates the necessary steel needed for a project. The order for building materials is placed, the project takes shape, and finally finishes. Now imagine the look of horror on the builder’s face when it’s discovered that too much steel was ordered and the costly product is sitting neatly in a warehouse. That steel now serves one purpose: to steal from the company coffers. The company now faces a multitude of potential choices, such as disposing of the steel and writing off the loss. But this could potentially cause harm with creditors and clients. Another option is to hold onto the steel in hopes of finding a buyer before storage costs outweigh potential gains of a resale. Also, publicly advertising resale of excess steel materials could potentially garner the company a poor reputation for misuse of materials and poor planning. More so, potential buyers could capitalize on the desperation to sell the material, leading to unfavorable selling terms for the company. What is the easy answer to such a catch 22? The answer is Bryzos Bid Blaster, a platform that connects sellers and buyers efficiently and discreetly. Bryzos offers companies that have a surplus in steel materials a way to mitigate risks and recoup losses. Bryzos Bid Blaster connects sellers to a wide array of buyers who are specifically looking for surplus steel materials. Why would companies buy surplus steel? New materials are expensive to produce: ore must be mined, material transported, processed, and transported again. Buyers know this and search with Bryzos to find high-quality unused steel materials at discounted prices. Check out Bryzos today and help eliminate waste within your company, because waste is a thief. The post Waste is a thief: sell your surplus steel to stop it appeared first on Bryzos. from https://bryzos.com/waste-is-a-thief-sell-your-surplus-steel-to-stop-it/ The modern world in which we all live is often shown as a highly sophisticated web of technology. Yet upon that sophistication is the solid foundation which we all take for granted every day: brick, gravel, concrete, and steel. But one thing separates our world from the past: piping. Piping, a simple cylindrical tubing in which the lifeblood of modern civilization flows. A basic product that has a variety of uses, we as human beings rarely think twice about it. We use piping for the flow of our drinking water and the removal of human waste. We heat our homes with natural gas and we connect communities and the world with the flow of oil. Oil, that lifeblood in which our society thrives, is very much like the blood in your veins. Think of piping as the veins under your skin, without those veins you wouldn’t exist. Piping suppliers keep this vital product well stocked and ready to deliver at a moment’s notice. Without piping suppliers, it would be difficult to imagine the creature comforts we take for granted today. So where do we find these suppliers and how can we trust them to deliver? You would need an effective platform that can help find you the right supplier. One that can ensure your needs are met. Consider a platform like Bryzos. Effectively connecting both buyer and seller, Bryzos serves as platform in which a wide array of piping products can be bought and sold, such as galvanized steel piping, copper, carbon, and black steel piping, if it can be forged into a pipe, it can be found by Bryzos. Construction managers, repairman, and your average Joe all depend upon piping suppliers, and it’s Bryzos that accurately and efficiently connects them with a quality product to keep our world running. The post The arteries of our world: piping appeared first on Bryzos. from https://bryzos.com/the-arteries-of-our-world-piping/ Every single project from start to finish runs on the concept of cost and gain. If the company spends “X” it is expected to gain a “Y” return. Punishing flashbacks to mathematics courses aside, thinking of ways to cut steel costs for your project without sacrificing quality in the name of saving a buck is a valuable endeavor. Surplus steel is an innovative way to reduce costs and waste of resources. Yet what exactly is surplus steel, isn’t it just scrap metal left to rust? In this case surplus steel is the unused, leftover material from previous building projects. Many builders have either ordered too much steel or their requirements have changed, leaving them unable to return the unused product to the manufacturer. The builder is then unwilling to simply discard the material because it still holds some value. The product (in many cases) then sits unused in a warehouse, and the builder is left hoping to find a way to recoup their loss. Enter Bryzos. Bryzos offers builders who have a supply of unused steel a way to move unused product to companies looking to reduce costs. In short, it’s an online buying and selling platform that allows the seller to recoup losses from unused materials (without them being a total financial loss.) It enables buyers the ability to issue an order of requirements that best suits their needs of quality, quantity, and cost. Bryzos then links that order to sellers who suit those needs. The buyer then can choose to purchase unused steel materials at a discounted price without having to produce new (and more expensive) materials. With Bryzos, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” has never been truer. Unused materials can finally find a purpose that is beneficial to all parties involved. From buyer to seller, nothing is left to waste. The post Their trash is your treasure: how surplus steel can help you get ahead appeared first on Bryzos. from https://bryzos.com/their-trash-is-your-treasure-how-surplus-steel-can-help-you-get-ahead/ St. Louis, Missouri (October 2018)- September 2018 has been a productive month for Bryzos, the newonline steel marketplace. Bryzos has been steadily growing its membership. “Each week we are doubling our number of registrants. We attribute this growth to our value proposition. Bryzos is unique in that it is a full-featured marketplace with robust modules for both the buyer and seller. For a seller,free listings are extremely beneficial. Especially for the lower margin items in their inventory. For a buyer, the RFQ system, “Bid Blaster”, is a seamless process that creates multiple purchasing options” said Shep Hickey, the CEO of Bryzos. Bryzos is not finished. Bryzos is making further refinements to its already superior marketplace. “It’s not enough to simply facilitate transactions between buyer and seller, a marketplace needs to be fair, efficient, easy to use and economical”, said Shep Hickey. To that ends Bryzos will be implementing three big refinements for its Users: Listings are free – Bryzos will NOT charge you to buy and sell listings on the marketplace. The only cost, to the seller, will be the payment processing fee. This fee is charged by STRIPE (the payment processor), not by Bryzos. Mass Upload Listing and Photos – Bryzos has developed a mapping system allowing you to easily import photos and listings of all kinds of steel, like stainless steel forgings or surplus steel. You can download data from your ERP system, or other sources, and upload it directly onto Bryzos. In addition, while carrying out the data upload they can mass upload photos to the Bryzos Media Library and easily attach to the newly imported listings. The benefit of the media library is you can upload multiple pictures at one time versus one at a time. Bryzos will maintain previously uploaded photos for you to reuse at a later date. No charge. ACH Payments – Soon Bryzos will have the option for you to pay via ACH. The payment processing for ACH will be 0.8% of the transaction value or a $5.00 fee cap. Looking a little further down the road, Bryzos will be offering credit to its qualified Buyers and ensuring the transaction against default for its Sellers.

These inspection methods are performed by trained technicians who have the experience and knowledge necessary to accurately prep the tested materials and read the testing results. Below is a list of quality control techniques used to locate pipe defects. Visual Inspection Visual inspection is the ideal method used in many quality control programs. It is relatively easy to perform and inexpensive because specialized equipment is not necessary. Visual inspection requires appropriate lighting, good vision and a strong knowledge of what needs to be identified and corrected. Technicians can use a variety of tools, such as borescopes and magnifying glasses, to enhance their ability to detect defects. Television camera systems are often used during inspection. The inspected specimen must be free of grease, dirt, dust or other debris that may interfere with the inspection. Surface preparation can involve wiping, blast cleaning and chemical treatment. X-Ray Inspection When inspecting with X-ray and gamma rays, the film is placed opposite of the test specimen. The radiation passes through the tested material and exposes the film. The film is then processed, producing a series of images, which can be read by a trained evaluator. Ultrasonic Inspection Magnetic Particle Testing Magnetic particle inspection is mostly used for locating surface flaws, but sometimes it can also be used to detect some types of subsurface flaws. Careful preparation of the surface is required for accurate results. Dye Penetration Inspection Excess dye is removed using a method specific to the type of penetrant used. Excess penetrant must be removed properly to achieve accurate results. After this is done, a white developer is applied to the specimen. This enhances the visibility of the defects. These areas of “bleed out” identify the location and orientation of the defect, as well as the possible types of defect. A technician then uses visible light and ultraviolet radiation to inspect the test surface. Dye penetration inspection is often used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects. These can include leaks, hairline cracks, fatigue cracks and surface porosity. Eddy Current Testing Flux Leakage Testing The post Quality Control, Inspection Methods appeared first on Bryzos. from https://bryzos.com/quality-control-inspection-methods/ All high-performing steel tubing and piping must undergo a variety of testing in order to determine their levels of strength and reliability. These tests evaluate numerous qualities of the tested specimen, including its yield strength, tensile strength, resistance to penetration and ductility. Below are some quality control testing procedures used to determine the durability of pipes and tubes before they reach end users. Tension Testing Hardness Testing Charpy Impact Test The Charpy Impact Test is widely used because it is fairly easy to conduct and inexpensive. During this test, a heavy pendulum hammer is used to strike and fracture the specimen. The impact of the strike causes elastic deformation. The height at which the hammer swings is used to assess the impact energy. Flattening Test The flattening test can be done on a universal testing machine, as well as a pressure testing machine. The machine is equipped with two parallel platens. The width of the parallel platens should exceed the width of the flattened sample. The length of the platen is different than that of the specimen, and it should have the right amount of rigidity. Reverse Flattening Test Crush Test Flange Test Flaring Test Bend Test Reverse Bend Test Drifting Holiday Detection Millage Gauge Micrometer The post Quality Control Testing appeared first on Bryzos. from https://bryzos.com/quality-control-testing/ The post BRYZOS, LLC Privacy Policy appeared first on Bryzos. from https://bryzos.com/bryzos-llc-privacy-policy/ |
