Abstract: The Gas Research Institute (GRI) first sponsored nondestructive evaluation (NDE) research and development (R&D) in 1982. GRIs initial NDE project addressed the inspection of plastic pipe joints made by heat fusion. This project culminated in the commercialization of an ultrasonic inspection technology units are commercially available from two sources. GRI initiated an NDE study on steel and cast iron piping for gas distribution systems in 1984. This work explored the possibility of employing accustic emission technology to detect defects in these types of systems. In October 1986, the American Gas Associations Pipeline Research Committee (PRC) issued its Final Report on NDE Needs for Pipeline Integrity Assurance, which was focused on the natural gas pipeline industry. Some of the objectives of this report were to determine specific R&D programs to improve existing NDE technologies and to develop new NDE technologies for cost effective assessment of specific integrity problems. It also sought to identify the facilities required to conduct these types of R&D programs. The report identified the following technical needs:
