OSTI ID:6962957
The objective of the project was to assess the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technology that may be applied to natural gas steel pipelines for the detection of stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In particular, the application of such technology would be from the inside of the pipe while the pipeline is in service, and inspection commonly called in-line inspection (ILI). The assessment focused on two basic NDE methods, ultrasonics and electromagnetics (including magnetic flux leakage). A third technology was data acquisition/analysis systems. Based on the experience of British Gas (BG) and others doing SCC inspections in different industries, crack discrimination is the important challenge for any such inspection system.
