Indentation technique provides pipeline integrity monitoring
Haggag, F.M., "Indentation technique provides pipeline integrity monitoring," Oil & Gas Journal, Pennwell, August 14, 2006, pp. 58–62.
This industry-facing article in the Oil & Gas Journal — the most widely read trade publication in the oil and gas industry — explained ABI® pipeline applications to OGJ's engineering audience in accessible, practice-oriented terms.
The article covers the determination of actual yield strength and pipe grade from in-situ ABI® measurements, integration with ASME B31G corrosion assessment calculations, and practical applications for pipeline integrity management programs. By presenting this information in a trade publication rather than an academic journal, Haggag reached the pipeline operators, integrity engineers, and regulatory professionals who make technology adoption decisions.
The OGJ article contributed significantly to pipeline operator awareness of ABI® technology and helped establish ABI® as a recognized option for in-line inspection and integrity assessment programs.
