About this episode
Russel Treat interviews Mona Haggag about in-situ mechanical testing and its applications.
This week on the Pipeliners Podcast, Russel Treat talks with Mona Haggag about in-situ mechanical testing, a nondestructive technique used to determine the mechanical properties of pipe still in the ground. Mona, whose father pioneered the technology, walks through how the ball indentation method works, what it can and cannot tell an operator, and how the tool is being adapted for field use in high-stress and high-security environments. The conversation covers the history of the technology, practical field application, data security considerations, and where the technology is headed.
