We have some in-service pipelines we will have to determine mechanical properties.
In the past, I have sent cut pipe cylinders of abandoned pipes to the lab for mechanical testing and obtained the results I needed.
Can anyone recommend a tool that can provide information on Yield strength and Tensile strength of in-service pipeline? So, I want to find out a non destructive means. Thanks
