A Critical Review of Destructive and Non-Destructive Toughness Measurement Approaches for Pipeline Structural Integrity Assessments
A Critical Review of Destructive and Non-Destructive Toughness Measurement Approaches for Pipeline Structural Integrity Assessments
To ensure the safe transport of natural gas through steel pipelines, structural integrity must be assessed using fitness-for-service (FFS) methodologies. These assessments (ex. ASME FFS Level 2) require accurate inputs on material properties (particularly toughness), flaw/defect geometry, and loading conditions to evaluate the safety of pipeline...
