The application of requirements contained in many industry codes and standards requires some interpretation by the user and by the regulator who is called upon to enforce their use. The objective of this project was to update the PRCI guidance…
The pipeline community needs to measure all-weld metal properties of narrow gap pipeline girth welds consistently and reliably. These measurements support characterization of material properties required for design and engineering assessment of…
Fracture toughness of steels is conventionally measured using bend specimens and provides a conservative estimate of toughness when the actual loading is in tension. There has been wide-spread interest in characterizing the toughness that occurs with…
Three standards were evaluated to assess the the potential for a unified standard: ISPDM (Industry Standard Pipeline Data Management), ISAT (Integrated Spatial Analysis Techniques), and PODS (Pipeline Open Data Standard). The scope of the analysis…
The application of requirements contained in many industry codes and standards requires some interpretation by the user and by the regulator who is called upon to enforce their use. There are often differences in the way requirements are interpreted…
