This paper introduces developed prototype intelligent pig which detects corrosion on pipeline by using Magnetic Flux Leakage technology. The 8 inch developed MFL(Magnetic Flux Leakage) pig is composed of 5 yokes which magnetize pipeline wall and 45 Hall sensors which detect MFL signal. The designed MFL modules are analyzed by using magnetic circuit method in order to confirm whether pipeline wall is fully saturated. A variety of artificial defects are manufactured on 8 inch diameter steel pipeline in order to acquire MFL signals. So leakage flux of the axial, radial and circumferential component was acquired as defects. The results of this paper show that design technique for 8 inch MFL pig can be applied to large diameter MFL pig and 0.5mm defect depth can be detected.

Pipelines are one of the most important structures in subsea equipment. It is the main equipment for transportation of crude oil and natural gas to the downstream facilities. Crude oil and natural gas leak will be carry out not only political and financial issues but also pollution to the environment. Inaccurate predictions of corrosion behavior will make hazardous consequences. The serviceability assessment of corroded structures is essential especially for subsea pipelines. As corrosion is concerned, the effects of failure due to significant reduction will make it hard to the pipeline operator to maintain the serviceability of pipelines. In this paper, the serviceability assessment of corroded crude oil pipeline is performed using the industry design code (Shell92, DNV RP F101, ASME B31G, BS 7910, PCORRC) and FEA depending on corrosion area. In last step, the future integrity of the subsea crude oil pipeline is assessed to predict the remaining year in service of crude oil pipelines.

최근 국내에서는 효율적인 공간활용을 위해 해저터널을 이용하여 전력을 공급하는 것이 시도되고 있으며, 해저터널내에 에너지 공급 기간시설물(전력케이블, 가스배관, 송유관, 지역난방배관 등)들이 같이 포설될 수 있으면 공사비 절감의 효과는 엄청날 것이므로 관심도가 높아지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 세계최초로 몰타르(Mortar)로 충진되어 있는 해저터널에서 전력케이블과 가스배관이 병행할 경우, 유도에 의한 교류부식에 대하여 검토하였으며, 아직 국내에는 유도전압 제한치가 마련되어 있지 않으므로 인$\cdot$축의 안전적인 측면과 시스템의 보안적인 측면을 세심하게 검토하여 이에 대한 제한치를 정립하였고, 유도전압이 최소가 되도록 전력케이블의 상배치를 최적으로 설계하였다. 이 결과들은 실 사례에 적용되었다.

In present, most of metallic structures(gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) are running parallel with subway and power line in seoul. Moreover subway system and power line make a stray current due to electrical corrosion on metallic structures. The owner of metallic structures has a burden of responsibility for the protection of corrosion and the prevention against big accident such as gas explosion or soil pollution and so on. So, they have to measure and analyze the data about P/S(Pipe to Soil) potential, amplitude of stray current, point of source of stray current and so. In this paper, results of development about data logger apparatus for measurement stray current of subway and power line are presented.

도시가스 배관에서 위험을 유발할 수 있는 사건의 발생빈도를 구하기 위하여 주요 사고원인인 굴착공사, 외부부식, 지반침하 및 장치손상 등에 의한 사고발생빈도를 구하는 방법을 제시하였다. 굴착공사로 인한 손상은 FTA에 의해 기본사상(Basic event)을 도출하고, 부식에 의한 손상확률은 시간변화에 따른 부식결함의 잔존강도를 평가하는 평가식을 제시하였다. 지반침하로 인한 손상은 기준손상율을 구하고 여기에 손상모드인자 및 보정인자를 고려한 모델을 이용하여 구하였다. 장치원인에 의한 손상확률은 고유고장율과 특정고장율 자료를 모두 반영할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였으며 그 계산 예도 제시하였다.

This paper presents a numerical simulation of the failure behaviour for the pipeline which has external corroded parts along the axis. The numerical study for the pipeline failure analysis is based on an FEM with an elastic-plastic and large-deformation. The predicted failure assessments for the simulated corrosion defects are compared with ANSI/ASME B31G code and a modified B31G method.

Fault current can be discharged from power transmission tower due to lightning or inadvertent contact of crane, etc. Pipelines in proximity to either the source of the ground fault or the substation grounding grid may provide convenient conductive path for the fault current to travel. Inappropriate measures to the neighboring pipelines against the fault current may cause severe damages to the pipes such as coating breakdown, arc burn, puncture, loss in wall thickness, or brittle heat-affected zone. Like inductive and conductive AC coupling, steadily induced fault current right after the coating breakdown can lead to corrosion of the pipeline. In this work, some protection guidelines against fault currents used in the field have been validated through the simulation and analytical method.

Purpose: This paper introduces the technology of prognostics for Industry 4.0 and presents its application procedure for fitness-for-service assessment of natural gas pipelines according to ISO 13374 framework. Methods: Combining data-driven approach with pipe failure models, we present a hybrid scheme for the gas pipeline prognostics. The probability of pipe failure is obtained by using the PCORRC burst pressure model and First Order Second Moment (FOSM) method. A fuzzy inference system is also employed to accommodate uncertainty due to corrosion growth and defect occurrence. Results: With a modified field dataset, the probability of failure on the pipeline is calculated. Then, its residual useful life (RUL) is predicted according to ISO 16708 standard. As a result, the fitness-for-service of the test pipeline is well-confirmed. Conclusion: The framework described in ISO 13374 is applicable to the RUL prediction and the fitness-for-service assessment for gas pipelines. Therefore, the technology of prognostics is helpful for safe and efficient management of gas pipelines in Industry 4.0.

The air vent connected to a heat supply pipeline in the district heating system has been used to eliminate the existing air in the pipe, which has a detrimental effect on corrosion durability and heat efficiency. Recently, the air vent installed under a manhole for 22 years was corroded and several pinholes were detected in the front-end of the air vent. To identify the cause of the failure, thickness reduction, corrosion products, and water quality were examined. The corrosion damage was significant at the outside of the front-end of the air vent where the insulator was covered. While a thin oxide layer was formed in the interior of the tube, the coarse and porous corrosion products consisting of magnetite and hematite were found externally. Water flowing into the thermal insulator was absorbed by the insulator following hydrolysis. The hydrolyzed insulator ejected the corrosion factors such as Cl^-, SO₄^2-, and NH₄⁺. The findings suggest that the corrosion under insulation due to rain water is the main cause of the underlying failure in the air vent.
