Failure Probability Model of Buried Pipeline

摘要

This paper presents the effect of external corrosion, material properties, operation condition and design thickness in pipeline on failure prediction using a failure probability model. The effects of environmental, operational, and design random variables such as a defect depth, a pipe diameter, a defect length, fluid pressure, a corrosion rate, a material yield stress and a pipe thickness on the failure probability are systematically studied using a failure probability model for the corrosion pipeline.
