  • Development of HighPerformance GasCoupled Ultrasonic Transducers for Inspection of Unpiggable Natural Gas Pipelines
    Development of High-Performance Gas-Coupled Ultrasonic Transducers for Inspection of Unpiggable Natural Gas Pipelines
    Fratello, Vincent ;
    Bondurant, Phil
    2020-02-07 | PDF
    Objectives: New dry-coupled ultrasonic transducer (UT) techniques will be investigated to determine feasibility for in-line inspection in unpiggable gas pipelines, especially for wall loss measurements. This novel technology will produce more accurate, higher-temperature resistant UT probes and have additional uses in inspection for wall loss and c ...

  • Characterization of Modern HighToughness Steels for Fracture Propagation and Arrest Assessment Phase II
    Characterization of Modern High-Toughness Steels for Fracture Propagation and Arrest Assessment – Phase II
    Weeks, Timothy
    2019-12-02 | PDF
    The development of high toughness linepipe materials is reducing the relevance of current material test methods and their application to design. Current fracture mechanics models, plastic collapse schemes and test methods are inadequate to determine the crack arresting capacity of a particular steel alloy/linepipe component. Furthermore, relatively ...
