GRI pipeline simulation facility pull rig. Topical report, 1989-1995
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:80605
The Gas Research Institute`s (GRI) Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Program and Pipeline Simulation Facility has been established to advance the state of the art of gas pipeline inspection technology. It has four key elements: (1) an NDE laboratory; (2) a pull rig; (3) a flow loop; and (4) two test bed vehicles. The report describes the capabilities and attributes of the pull rig, which consists of four 300-foot-long unpressured pipe runs. In-line inspection tools and test bed vehicles can be pulled through the pipe sections. Pull forces up to 56,000 pounds and speeds up to 25 mph can be achieved. A removable metal-loss defect set and a stress-corrosion cracking defect set have been installed in two of the unpressured pipe runs.
