Steam Rocket Bike Breaks the Land Speed Record. On 21st May 2023, Graham Sykes clocked a top speed of 163.8mph as he completed the 1/8th-mile drag run in just 3.878 seconds and then on 7th July 2023 at Santa Pod Raceway Graham ran a time of 6.7189 seconds over the standing 1/4 mile track with a 1.0605 60ft. The 1/8 mile time and speed were 4.038 at a staggering 175.06mph which takes the record for a steam-powered vehicle to over 175mph!

At CPE we are super proud of Graham and his team’s achievements, it has been fantastic to support the project and see it succeed.

Congratulation to Dan and Ben from our Pressure Test and Dispatch team who attended and passed a Level 1 course in Penetrant testing. This allows them to be certified to PCN level 1 to perform DPI testing under the supervision of our level 2 personnel. We use DPI to check the surface of our welding and materials to ensure that the products are high quality.

The course covered the following areas:

Set up Penetrant Testing equipment;
Perform the Penetrant Inspection tests;
Record and classify the results of the tests according to written criteria;
Report the results

Penetrant testing passed by our pressure test and dispatch team

Last week At CPE we passed our 3 year ASME U Stamp renewal reveiw. This is done by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) team leader under Section VIII Div. 1 and covers the U, UM and R stamp which is issued by the National Board. The audit is completed over 2 days by the ASME team leader and required alot of effort and time by our design and quality team to ensure that all our systems are opperating correctly and complying with the ASME U Stamp requirements. Great work by the team to ensure the review went smoothly and we can continue supplying pressure vessels with the ASME Certification mark with the U designator. Along with the UM designator (miniature vessels).
