Abstract
The paper briefly describes the history of quality testing of buried main p ipelines. The pioneering research into the development of magnetic techniqu es for detection of flaws caused by corrosion in pipelines has been conduct ed at the Institute of Metal physics of the Ural Division of Russian Academ y of Sciences. The fairly high accuracy of measured parameters of detected flaws is confirmed. The topical problems concerning pipeline testing are fo rmulated.
