This work collected the necessary data and then perform testing and analysis of Enhanced Mixing and Combustion Techniques (EMCT) on large bore reciprocating engines to assess the non-emissions related benefits offered by this technology.
PHMSA guideline for using composite repair materials in both onshore and offshore pipeline applications. Based on knowledge and full-scale testing. Includes instruction for properly using composite materials based on the pipeline defects, design a…
The results of this project will be standardized testing protocols, challenging test specimens, opportunities for ILI technology improvement and an understanding of current technology performance. In order to achieve the project objectives, the…
The pipeline repository maintained by PRCI includes an inventory of pipe specimens of various diameters, wall thickness and length, steel grades and vintages. The pipe specimens have been acquired by PRCI as donations or components of research…
The objectives of the current project are to confirm the earlier observation of an inhibitive effect of organic soils on the stress corrosion cracking of pipeline steels and to determine the mechanism of this inhibition. Identification of an…
Internal corrosion occurs where water or other corrosive electrolyte accumulates. This is the principle used in Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA). Although ICDA focuses on nominally dry gas with episodes of water upset, the well accepted…
Evaluates the use of non-destructive surface testing (micro indentation, micro-machining, in situ chemistry, and replicate microscopy analysis) as a means to perform pipe material confirmation.
This project evaluated consensus standards, best practices, and regulatory requirements related to process safety management (PSM) topics to support DOT PHMSA's strategy to update its regulatory requirements for safety management systems for LNG…
Hazardous liquid pipelines are mandated to maintain a minimum cover depth below the river bottom at crossings of inland bodies of water with widths greater than 100 feet (30 meters) from high water mark to high water mark as per 49 CFR Part 195.248,…
