Nuances of Exposure, Mitigation, Resistance In most instances, the categorization of each piece of information into one of these three is obvious—most variables are clearly…
As a worst-case scenario, as well as a means to easily incorporate the intuitive belief that large diameter can mean higher consequence, pipe failures can…
As part of the estimation of overall Resistance, the stress-carrying capacity must be understood. This in turn requires understanding of loads and stresses acting on…
On our way to overall Resistance estimation and, as a part of Effective Wall Thickness determinations, here is some background on stress-inducements that must inform…
As part of the stress-carrying capacity concept underlying Resistance estimations, the use of ‘effective wall thickness’ is introduced here as a modeling convenience. Resistance Estimation…
Pipeline Risk Assessment—Controlling the Bias In other parts of this site, we introduced the concept of pipeline risk assessment Essential Elements. This is a list…
“I don’t have enough data to quantify risk” In the first part of this discussion, we hopefully dispelled some myths about low data availability. We…
“I don’t have enough data to quantify risk” I hear this often and have concluded that it is actually a short hand phrase reflecting two…
Guide to the Guides Here is a quick evaluation of some of the key documents offering guidance on pipeline system risk assessment and risk management. …
