The objective of this work is to:

  • Summarize, in spreadsheet format, historical API pipe specification requirements related to metallurgical attributes of the pipe,
  • Collect pipe property data for a wide range of pipe sizes, grades, and vintages,
  • Solicit subject matter expert input regarding the likelihood that pipe surface features and other attributes are sufficiently unique to allow pipe manufacturer and/or grade to be unambiguously determined, and to
  • Describe nondestructive in-situ analysis methods that can be used on operating pipelines to determine metallurgical properties.
