Copyright © 2006 Knovel Corporation Real-Life Application Scenario: As part of ISO 9001 certification a chemical manufacturer needs to monitor several miles of fiberglass pipes used in its plants to ensure the pipes have not degraded because of exposure to the chemicals that flow through them. The engineer in charge of the project would like ideas for new/alternative ways to nondestructively test the pipes. Knovel can help.
