The PRCI Technical Committees have carried multiple research projects related to erosion of pipelines and fittings due to debris and other materials inside the pipeline. This report presents a summary of past PRCI funded studies related to the topic as well as public domain documents and other reports shared with PRCI. Since not all studies sponsored by other industry groups (e.g., AGA, EPRG, etc.) or by individual pipeline companies are not included, this report does not represent a review of the topic in the broader industry-wide sense. Instead, it is designed to provide a guide to past work...
The PRCI Technical Committees have carried multiple research projects related to erosion of pipelines and fittings due to debris and other materials inside the pipeline. This report presents a summary of past PRCI funded studies related to the topic as well as public domain documents and other reports shared with PRCI. Since not all studies sponsored by other industry groups (e.g., AGA, EPRG, etc.) or by individual pipeline companies are not included, this report does not represent a review of the topic in the broader industry-wide sense. Instead, it is designed to provide a guide to past work so that current TC members can identify and locate project reports that might be of use in identifying previous PRCI research that is related to the erosion of pipe and pipe components and related topics. This document is unrelated to soil erosion around pipelines.
