A Material Testing Program involves sorting pipeline segments into populations. The criteria defining a population could include diameter, wall thickness, grade, date installed, manufacturer, or other properties.

Maintaining populations can be a challenge – segments may move between populations as data is collected, affecting test requirements. The presence of test data/record conflicts adds another layer of complexity.

MVI automatically assigns segments to populations and tracks population requirements.
