Reliability of equipment of the oil and gas industry is vital, whereas on pipeline transmission system, decreasing the integrity of the pipeline is generally caused by corrosion. Failure that occurs due to corrosion deterioration influenced by the environment within a certain time, and has exceeded the nominal thickness of the pipe so there is a failure. This study used the reliability analysis approach based on modeling corrosion degradation ratio that is determined by the amount of the corrosion rate externally and internally. Using the Weibull probabilistic distribution method, results that the reliability of pipeline will decrease with increasing lifetime. It was identified that internal corrosion has a major contribution to the remaining life of pipeline. From the calculation results obtained by external corrosion has the greatest reliability over 60 years, followed by internal corrosion less than 30 years and the least is by cumulative corrosion which is less than 20 years. From the value of reliability, it can be known probability of failure (POF) which is the anti reliability.
In the transmission pipeline system, decreasing the integrity of the pipe is generally caused by corrosion. Limit state of hoop stress can be applied to determine whether the pipe material is still safe for utilizing below its yield stress. Defining the corrosion rate allowable will be essential in formulating risk of corrosion in the pipeline system. Using an external corrosion rate model generated by soil, the prediction of corrosion rate in every year service life of material will determine the frequency of inspection by adjusting the threshold category. The predicted corrosion rate in every year is as a function of soil resistivity by a factor of coating breakdown and cathodic protection (CP) remaining life. A modified scheme, so called the Inspection-Maintenance-Repair strategy, is an effective method to increase the effectiveness of inspections. The reduction in risk of corrosion is able to extend the inspection plan for several years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
