Book Synopsis Corrosion and Reliability Assessment of Inspected Pipelines by : Rafael Amaya-Gómez
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.

Book Synopsis Reliability-based Corrosion Management of Energy Pipelines by : Shenwei Zhang
Download or read book Reliability-based Corrosion Management of Energy Pipelines written by Shenwei Zhang and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal-loss corrosion is a major threat to the structural integrity and safe operation of underground oil and gas pipelines worldwide. The reliability-based corrosion management program has been increasingly used in the pipeline industry, which typically includes three tasks, namely periodic high-resolution inline inspections to detect and size corrosion defects on a given pipeline, engineering critical assessment of corrosion defects reported by the inspection tool and mitigation of defects. The work reported in this book addresses the engineering challenges involved in the reliability-based corrosion management program, including the probabilistic corrosion growth modeling based on imperfect inspection data, time-dependent reliability evaluation, and optimal inspection interval determination for corroding pipelines.
Book Synopsis Reliability-based Management of Buried Pipelines Considering External Corrosion Defects by : Seyedeh Azadeh Miran
Download or read book Reliability-based Management of Buried Pipelines Considering External Corrosion Defects written by Seyedeh Azadeh Miran and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion is one of the main deteriorating mechanisms that degrade the energy pipeline integrity, due to transferring corrosive fluid or gas and interacting with corrosive environment. Corrosion defects are usually detected by periodical inspections using in-line inspection (ILI) methods. In order to ensure pipeline safety, this study develops a cost-effective maintenance strategy that consists of three aspects: corrosion growth model development using ILI data, time-dependent performance evaluation, and optimal inspection interval determination. In particular, the proposed study is applied to a cathodic protected buried steel pipeline located in Mexico. First, time-dependent power-law formulation is adopted to probabilistically characterize growth of the maximum depth and length of the external corrosion defects. Dependency between defect depth and length are considered in the model development and generation of the corrosion defects over time is characterized by the homogenous Poisson process. The growth models unknown parameters are evaluated based on the ILI data through the Bayesian updating method with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation technique. The proposed corrosion growth models can be used when either matched or non-matched defects are available, and have ability to consider newly generated defects since last inspection. Results of this part of study show that both depth and length growth models can predict damage quantities reasonably well and a strong correlation between defect depth and length is found. Next, time-dependent system failure probabilities are evaluated using developed corrosion growth models considering prevailing uncertainties where three failure modes, namely small leak, large leak and rupture are considered. Performance of the pipeline is evaluated through failure probability per km (or called a sub-system) where each sub-system is considered as a series system of detected and newly generated defects within that sub-system. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to determine to which incorporated parameter(s) in the growth models reliability of the studied pipeline is most sensitive. The reliability analysis results suggest that newly generated defects should be considered in calculating failure probability, especially for prediction of long-term performance of the pipeline and also, impact of the statistical uncertainty in the model parameters is significant that should be considered in the reliability analysis. Finally, with the evaluated time-dependent failure probabilities, a life cycle-cost analysis is conducted to determine optimal inspection interval of studied pipeline. The expected total life-cycle costs consists construction cost and expected costs of inspections, repair, and failure. The repair is conducted when failure probability from any described failure mode exceeds pre-defined probability threshold after each inspection. Moreover, this study also investigates impact of repair threshold values and unit costs of inspection and failure on the expected total life-cycle cost and optimal inspection interval through a parametric study. The analysis suggests that a smaller inspection interval leads to higher inspection costs, but can lower failure cost and also repair cost is less significant compared to inspection and failure costs.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neste trabalho apresenta-se a avaliação do desempenho de ferramentas de inspeção em linha (ILI) ou pig instrumentado na medição de defeitos causados por corrosão e estudam-se diferentes métodos para o cálculo da confiabilidadeestrutural ou cálculo da probabilidade de falha (POF) de um duto corroído, baseada na análise do relatório do pig. O relatório de inspeção do pig é avaliado através de comparações de seus resultados com as medições dos defeitos feitas por ferramentas de referência (medições em campo). Os erros associados a cada sistema de medição podem ser encontrados a partir de métodos estatísticos como os métodos da raiz do erro quadrático médio, dos estimadores de Grubbs, de Thompson e de Jaech. As medições das duas ferramentas são também avaliadas através de testes estatísticos para a linha de tendência e o coeficiente de correlação linear (r). O número mínimo de medições de campo necessárias para verificar o desempenho do pig no dimensionamento dos defeitos de corrosão é determinadopela implementação de um teste baseado na análise seqüencial. Uma vez que o relatório do pig é avaliado e aceito, a POF de um duto corroído é calculada usando os métodos analíticos de primeira ordem (FORM) e propagação deincertezas, e o método de simulação de Monte Carlo. A POF do duto é calculada em função de modelos de pressão de falha onde suas variáveis são definidas como funções de probabilidade (fdp). No caso das dimensões do defeito, a fdp e seus parâmetros estatísticos são obtidos a partir da exatidão do pig. A comparação entre a POF calculada e a POF admissível permite determinar quando será necessário fazer uma nova re-inspeção. Quando a POF calculada atinge um valormaior que a POF admissível, antes de se completar um tempo desejado para a próxima inspeção, o procedimento desenvolvido permite decidir qual o número de reparos que deverá ser feito para que este tempo seja alcançado.

Download or read book Engineering for Extremes written by Mark G. Stewart and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume explains how risk and decision-making analytics can be applied to the wicked problem of protecting infrastructure and society from extreme events. There is increasing research that takes into account the risks associated with the timing and severity of extreme events in engineering to reduce the vulnerability or increase the resiliency of infrastructure. "Engineering for extremes" is defined as measures taken to reduce the vulnerability or increase the resiliency of built infrastructure to climate change, hurricanes, storms, floods, earthquakes, heat waves, fires, and malevolent and abnormal events that include terrorism, gas explosions, vehicle impact and vehicle overload. The book introduces the key concepts needed to assess the economic and social well-being risks, costs and benefits of infrastructure to extreme events. This includes hazard modelling (likelihood and severity), infrastructure vulnerability, resilience or exposure (likelihood and extent of damage), social and economic loss models, risk reduction from protective measures, and decision theory (cost-benefit and utility analyses). Case studies authored by experts from around the world describe the practical aspects of risk assessment when deciding on the most cost-efficient measures to reduce infrastructure vulnerability to extreme events for housing, buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, pipelines, and electricity infrastructure in the developed and developing worlds.
