Application Summary AI generated

This standard specifies the external inspection methodology for detecting stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in buried steel pipelines. It is applied in the oil and gas industry for in-service pipeline integrity management, particularly during field inspections to identify SCC threats without excavating the entire pipe. The methodology guides engineers and inspectors in using non-destructive testing techniques to assess pipeline safety and prevent catastrophic failures.
