An example of diagnosing the technical condition of the emergency section of oil storage pipeline by non-destructive methods
of control is given. Proceeding from the results of inspection of an emergency section of the pipeline (measurement of hardness,
ovality of pipes and coercive force Нс) the characteristics of static strength of metal pipes were determined, and the relative
load, structural condition of metal and level of damages were evaluated. Coercytimetric control showed that the level of total
maximum stresses obtained first during the installation of the structure, and then after the accident and restoration of the initial
position of the individual elements of the pipeline relative to the supports, was less than 30% of the conditional yield strength
of metal. This estimate corresponds to the data of calculations of the stress-strain state (SSS) and is consistent with the results
of measuring the ovality of the pipes and the absence of local plastic deformations in the most stressed areas. Coercimetric
diagnostics revealed differences in the steel grades used in some sections of the pipeline. 7 Ref., 1 Tabl., 9 Fig.
