#Dongguan | 🏭 The National Pipeline Research Institute 🔬 has successfully conducted the first domestic 💪 residual stress testing 🧪 on large-diameter, high-grade 🛢️ oil and gas pipeline circumferential welds 🔄! This achievement, made possible through the use of the neutron diffraction instrument 🔬 at the #China Spallation Neutron Source (#CSNS) 🇨🇳, significantly enhances the safety 🛡️ of the nation's oil and gas pipeline transportation 🚚 and contributes to energy security 🔒.

#TBT Join us in celebrating Clifford Shull and Ernest Wollan who developed #neutrondiffraction! Thanks to their work @ORNL, we can use #neutrons to explore everything from atoms to quantum phenomena. Shull's birthday is 9/22 and Wollan's is 11/6. bit.ly/3s1IFxJ#Nobel

measured between 1.9 and 9 K. The powder diffraction pattern taken at 9 K was subtracted to suppress nuclear scattering. The patterns have been collected with neutrons of a wavelength of 2.426 Å on ILL's medium-resolution high-intensity powder diffractometer, D20. Here, diff. counts, difference counts.
