Abstract
This report provides basic information about modern pipe samples containing dent and cracked gouge defects for performance evaluation of inspection technologies. Five mechanical damage dent and gouge defects were created in a realistic manner in modern pipes and then submitted to internal pressure cycling to initiate a significant crack at the gouge bottom. Three types of defects were created: shallow gouge in shallow dent, severe gouge in shallow dent and shallow gouge in severe dent. All defects are planned to be used to performance evaluation of inspection technologies. These defects are similar to those created in project PRCI MD-4-1 for destructive metallurgical characterization and for burst and fatigue tests. This version of the report does not contain results of any measurements performed on the defects, in order to facilitate blind testing of inspection technologies using the samples produced in this project.
