Program Purpose:

In this study, after developing the mathematical platform and entering it into a computer, we can predict whatx000D
the level of vibration should be if the pipeline that is being tapped is free of imperfectin. When the tap test isx000D
conducted on actual pipeline material and looked at the resulting patterns of vibrations, weak points couldx000D
quickly be identified. This method of attaching small machines to pipelines that are above ground and havingx000D
them tap and measure vibrations offer a faster and cheaper way to find cracks or patches of internal rust thanx000D
the conventional method of using imaging techniques.
