In-Situ ABI® Testing to Determine Yield Strength, Pipe Grade, and Fracture Toughness of In-Service Oil and Gas Pipelines
Haggag, F.M., "In-Situ ABI® Testing to Determine Yield Strength, Pipe Grade, and Fracture Toughness of In-Service Oil and Gas Pipelines," Russian Oil and Gas Technology, April 2011, pp. 22–29.
This Russian-language trade publication article adapted ABI® oil and gas work for the Russian pipeline engineering community. Russia operates one of the world's largest pipeline networks — over 250,000 km of trunk gas pipelines and 75,000 km of trunk oil pipelines — much of which dates from the Soviet era with incomplete material documentation.
By publishing in Russian Oil and Gas Technology, Haggag addressed the Russian pipeline sector's specific need for in-situ material characterization of undocumented legacy pipelines. The article marks technology penetration into the Russian oil and gas market and reflects ABI®'s expanding international deployment.
