In this work, the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA) equation for prediction of hoop stress in a buried pipeline was validated using the Milestone 1 experimental data. The Milestone 1 testing program included a 24-inch outside diameter (OD),…
Results of an experimental investigation to determine various stress states in 16"ť x 0.375-inch spiral welded line pipe. Majority of measurements were made on the inside surface of the pipe, in the immediate vicinity of the weld line. Also results…
A broadly based research program to determine the remaining strength of pipe with corrosion
defects with complex geometries and combined pressure] and axial loads was conducted to develop engineering guidelines to assess the remaining strength or…
The primary objectives of this project were to (1) determine the variability of the magnetically induced velocity change (MIVC) and its stress dependence among pipes of the same grade material manufactured during different time periods and (2)…
Most pipeline companies operate infrastructure that spans a wide range of vintages including pipelines that were built in 1950s to the 2000s. Some of the pipelines have changed hands, and in many cases, more than once, resulting in a loss of the…
