Mechanical reliability analysis of tubes intended for hydrocarbons
Mourad Nahal,Rabia Khelif 대한기계학회 2013 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.27 No.2
Reliability analysis constitutes an essential phase in any study concerning reliability. Many industrialists evaluate and improve the reliability of their products during the development cycle—from design to startup (design, manufacture, and exploitation)—to develop their knowledge on cost/reliability ratio and to control sources of failure. In this study, we obtain results for hardness, tensile, and hydrostatic tests carried out on steel tubes for transporting hydrocarbons followed by statistical analysis. Results obtained allow us to conduct a reliability study based on resistance request. Thus, index of reliability is calculated and the importance of the variables related to the tube is presented. Reliability-based assessment of residual stress effects is applied to underground pipelines under a roadway, with and without active corrosion. Residual stress has been found to greatly increase probability of failure, especially in the early stages of pipe lifetime.

In this paper, a maintenance policy is proposed for pipelines subjected to active corrosion and residual stress, by taking into account imperfect inspection results. The degradation of the pipeline is induced by uniform corrosion, leading to losses of the pipe wall thickness. Localized corrosion is not considered herein, as neither pitting nor crevice corrosion are strongly influenced by external loading conditions and, hence, are not critical in structural strength considerations. When the corroded layers are removed, strain relaxation occurs, causing a redistribution of residual stresses. In parallel, the inspection is applied to detect the corrosion defects, namely the thickness of the corroded layer, and it has a detection threshold under which no corrosion rate can be measured. Due to uncertainties, each inspection is affected by the probability of detecting small defects and the probability of wrong assessment in terms of defect existence and size. The present work aims at integrating imperfect inspection results in the cost model for corroded pipelines, where the failure probabilities are computed by reliability methods. A numerical application on a gas pipe shows the influence of corrosion rates and residual stresses on the optimal maintenance planning.
