Stan-
For heavy duty, large diameter pieps, what would you recommend? Why not Rockwell? And which tests would be possible to do in a field rather than office?
Well I have a project and to sum it up...... there are a few "bad" pipes in the whole lot and we want to be able to get a rough estimate of the yield and tensile strength from a hardness test. It is not viable to run other tests because it would take so long but we need to know what pipes are...
I was wondering if anybody had information that would help relate a hardness test (Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell, Scleroscope, etc.) to strength failure. I am particularly after yield strength or tensile strength in heavy pipes. Any links or information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
