The PRCI Technical Committees have carried many research projects which included efforts in assessing the mechanical properties of pipe including yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, Charpy energy, etc.; this document presents a summary of past PRCI funded studies. Since not all studies sponsored by other industry groups (e.g., API, EPRG, APIA, etc.) or by individual pipelines 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 PRCI members and its research...
The PRCI Technical Committees have carried many research projects which included efforts in assessing the mechanical properties of pipe including yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, Charpy energy, etc.; this document presents a summary of past PRCI funded studies. Since not all studies sponsored by other industry groups (e.g., API, EPRG, APIA, etc.) or by individual pipelines 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 PRCI members and its research contractors can identify and locate project reports that might contain pipe material properties obtained through testing. Note that this document may reference research performed by others. PRCI believes it has the appropriate rights to share these documents with PRCI members.
