Software and Inspection Advances in Pipeline Integrity Assessment
نویسنده
چکیده
Traditional pipeline risk management has been based on regulatory code compliance and in response to incidents. Advances in pipeline risk management software and pipeline inspection tools allow a proactive approach to pipeline integrity maintenance. What are the benefits of a proactive approach? This paper explains some of the risk management tools available to pipeline companies.

Added Resistance of an AUV Moving Inside a Water Pipeline Due to Wall Proximity
This paper evaluates the added resistance of a torpedo shape AUV, moving inside a water pipeline, due to wall effects within the tube. Today, there are long length pipelines of water or petroleum that need to regular inspection. Early detection of failure will help to prevent breakdown and avoid the huge cost of an accident. As pipelines are enclosed environments and difficult to access, pipeli...
متن کاملEffect of Lift-off on Pipeline Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection
On pipeline magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection, welds and debris are present in all pipelines and cause lift-off of the sensors and/or the magnetizer of the magnetic flux leakage inspection tool, and have the potential to affect the acquired magnetic flux leakage data. By adopting ANSYS software to simulate the effect of lift-off on the MFL signal. The results of this research indicate that...
متن کاملInspection and Identification of Inner-outer Defects on Oil-gas Pipeline
The paper discussed pipeline inner-outer defects inspection and identification methods in pipeline magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection. Inspection vehicle got across defects in some velocity, bringing residual MFL, its signal frequency and peak value depend on defects size, defects shape, defects in inner or outer, inspected by Hall element sensors. The results of this research indicate diff...
