Download or read book Fitness for Service Assessment of Corroded Pipelines written by Ram Kumar Balakrishnan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pipelines provide the safe and economic means of transporting oil and gas. Ageing of these pipelines leads to the gradual loss of pipe strength and degradation of performance, because of the development of corrosion defects. Assessment of the corroded pipeline for fitness for service purposes remains as a critical activity of the transmission pipeline integrity management program. Several Level 2 assessment methods have been developed so far to evaluate the remaining strength of corroded pipelines. Most of these methods are based on a semiempirical fracture mechanics approach. Although the ASME B31G criterion for the evaluation of corroded pipelines seems to be adequate for design, it is known to be conservative. The use of high toughness pipeline materials with good post yield characteristics has enabled the application of limit load estimation techniques based on net section collapse criterion for the evaluation of corroded pipelines.

Download or read book Corrosion and Reliability Assessment of Inspected Pipelines written by Rafael Amaya-Gómez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the most up-to-date, advanced methods and tools for risk assessment of onshore pipelines. These methods and tools are based primarily on information collected from ILI measurements and additional information about the soil surrounding the pipeline. The book provides a better understanding how the defects grow and interact (repulsion or attraction) and their spatial variability. In addition, the authors contemplate new defects that evolve between inspections and how they could affect the pipeline's reliability. A real-world case is presented to reinforce the concepts presented in the book. The book is structured into three parts: i) an introduction to onshore pipelines and the problem of corrosion, ii) a framework that deals with uncertainty for integrity programs for corroded pipelines, and iii) the applications of the methods presented in the book. The book is ideal for researchers and field engineers in oil and gas transportation and graduate and undergraduate engineering students interested in pipeline reliability assessments, spatial variability, and risk-based inspections.

Download or read book System Reliability Assessment of Corroded Pipelines written by Zahiraniza Mustaffa and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'System Reliability Assessment of Offshore Pipelines' portrays the application of probabilistic methods in assessing the reliability of these structures subjected to corrosion. The analysis interprets corrosion data as random variables and probabilistic functions, through which uncertainties of corrosion inspection tool can be taken into account. The reliability of the pipeline is studied by treating the structure as an independent unit. The analysis is further elaborated for pipelines arrayed as a series system of units, with the consideration of length effects. A framework for the reliability-based maintenance model is also developed, aiming at optimizing the pipeline system operations. Herein, the analysis is mainly focused on improving the practice of releasing corrosion inhibitors into the pipeline. The use of inhibitors is considered to be the most applied maintenance practice among pipeline industries because of its simple mechanism to fight against corrosion. Last but not least, the research also looks into interpreting corrosion in space using theories on hydrodynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underground pipelines transporting liquid petroleum products and natural gas are critical components of civil infrastructure, making corrosion prevention an essential part of asset-protection strategy. Underground Pipeline Corrosion provides a basic understanding of the problems associated with corrosion detection and mitigation, and of the state of the art in corrosion prevention. The topics covered in part one include: basic principles for corrosion in underground pipelines, AC-induced corrosion of underground pipelines, significance of corrosion in onshore oil and gas pipelines, numerical simulations for cathodic protection of pipelines, and use of corrosion inhibitors in managing corrosion in underground pipelines. The methods described in part two for detecting corrosion in underground pipelines include: magnetic flux leakage, close interval potential surveys (CIS/CIPS), Pearson surveys, in-line inspection, and use of both electrochemical and optical probes. While the emphasis is on pipelines transporting fossil fuels, the concepts apply as well to metallic pipes for delivery of water and other liquids.

Download or read book Remaining Strength Assessment of Deteriorating Energy Pipelines written by Bipul Chandra Mondal and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pipelines are extensively used as the most economic means of transporting oil and gas. The steel pipelines have been widely used for these applications due to the high strength to weight ratio of the material, resulting in lower material cost. These pipelines are subjected to corrosions during the service life, resulting in the reduction of wall thicknesses. The prediction of the remaining strength of a corroded pipeline is required for fitness-for-purpose assessment. For the prediction of the remaining strength, different models were developed based on simplified results of analysis and/or empirical fits to limited experimental data which are expressed in terms of burst pressure. The established design codes adopt simplified design equations for the burst pressure prediction for corroded pipelines. However, the burst pressures predicted using the simplified equations are not consistent with the burst test results and results obtained from rigorous finite element (FE) analyses. Besides, the pipelines are often subjected to axial force and bending moment. The effects of the axial force and bending moment on the burst pressure are not rationally accounted. In this research, the axial forces and bending moments experience by energy pipelines are first examined considering a case of offshore pipelines. The improved burst pressure models are then developed for pipelines with and without the axial forces and bending moments. The existing models of burst pressures for deteriorated-steel pipelines are investigated to determine the contributing parameters to the burst pressures. The Folias factor and flow stress are identified as the major parameters contributing to the burst pressures of the corroded pipelines. A detailed study, based on FE analysis using Abaqus, has been carried out to develop a new method of defining the Folias factor and to develop an improved model for burst pressure prediction for a corroded pipeline. The finite element analysis is then extended to develop the new interaction rules for the pipelines subjected to multiple patches of the corrosion defects. The FE analysis is used to develop failure loci for burst pressure prediction for pipelines subjected to axial forces and bending moments. Corroded pipelines often suffer from the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) when the pipelines in corrosive environments are subjected to high tensile stresses. The SCC occurs at a stress intensity factor well below the fracture toughness of the material. The effects of the SCC and the crack propagation in the deteriorating pipelines cannot be captured using standard FE modeling techniques. It is proposed to employ fracture mechanics to determine the remaining strengths of pipelines containing corrosion defects or crack-like defects or corrosion with crack-like defects.
