| Purpose & Summary | The Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives are holding this event to gather and disseminate information on the state of the art of crack detection in hazardous liquid and natural gas pipelines. Perspectives on the challenges involved with detecting and characterizing crack like defects, including environmentally assisted cracks and cracks with corrosion, will be provided from operators and regulators. This event will provide and update on technology developments via research, the success rate in deploying such technology for detection and a discussion on the level of and types of data collected in support of engineering assessments. It will also discuss other information in support of criteria for determining when a probable crack defect in a pipeline segment must be excavated, the time limits for completing those excavations and in support of models for determining crack growth rates.
