This project builds on and supplements existing mechanical damage (MD) assessment and management tools, developed on behalf of Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI), Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA), Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA), American Petroleum Institute (API), other research organizations and individual pipeline operators, many of which are included in API Recommended Practice (RP) 1183 (1). Since the assembly of API RP 1183, PRCI has continued its mechanical damage strategic research priority in the development of a greater understanding of the behavior of mechanical damage and the production of data to support engineering assessment.
The objective of this research project is to develop and/or modify:
