Pressure Cycling Monitoring is a vital part of a Cyclic Fatigue Management Program Pressure cycle fatigue is a major risk factor for pipeline in cyclic service. Fatigue due to cyclic pressure loading is the primary driver to cause seam welds to grow to  critical size as well as to cause cracking to develop and grow

Crack Assessment: Are you Ready for Your ILI Results? Prior to running a crack ILI it is very important to be prepared to perform your post ILI assessment. Of course this involves determining the burst pressure of crack-like anomalies identified but also much more. ILI tools are able to detect crack and crack-like anomalies. The

ILI Validation: what are we trying to prove? Inline Inspection is one of the foundational components of most pipeline integrity programs. ILI provides the condition monitoring data that allows for an inspect, assess and then remediate cycle that allows for the pipeline anomalies to be managed successfully. As the ILI will normally identify many more

DENT ASSESSMENT: MOVING BEYOND DEPTH AND ORIENTATION A strong anomaly assessment methodology will use its failure mechanism to develop a model that using relevant data will predict the likelihood of it’s failure. This statement will be used to identify weaknesses in many dent assessment methodologies and propose improvements. Dents identified through ILI have proved to
