Strain-based assessments are widely used throughout the industry to estimate the likelihood of cracking in dents. Our in-house developed point-wise calculation of longitudinal membrane strainRefers to the stress and deformation that a pipeline experiences due to external forces, such as ground movement, soil settlement, or external loading. When … allows us to add precise geometric information to featureGeneral term for an anomaly detected during an assessment. Features can be anomalies, components, nearby metallic objects, welds, appurtenances, or some other i… length and depth captured by earlier inspectionThe systematic process of visually examining, testing, or monitoring pipeline components to assess their condition, integrity, and compliance with regulatory re… methods. The result is a dentA local change in pipe surface contour caused by an external force such as mechanical impact or rock impingement but is not accompanied by loss of metal. strain assessment that meets and exceeds the standards set forth in ASME B31.8, providing peace of mind in addition to the insights required to proactively manage these anomalies before they can become disruptive to business. If your system is facing the unique challenges presented by dent strain, contact us today to get the best, most actionable insights required to mitigate their riskA measure of loss in terms of both the incident likelihood of occurrence and the magnitude of the consequences..
