Many listings and groupings of PoF exposures (threats) to pipeline systems are possible. Below is a fairly detailed example. It can be used to as…
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…
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…
Incident Investigation Incident investigation is both a useful input into a risk assessment and a consumer of risk assessment results. In the former, learnings from…
… ingredients in risk assessments Let’s first differentiate between risk assessments and risk analyses. While there are many definitions out there for ‘risk assessment’, let’s…
As the first element of the overall PoF measurement, the estimate of ‘exposure’ (or ‘attack’) is anything that can damage a very weak pipeline component. This…
As with other failure modes, evaluating the potential for corrosion follows logical steps, replicating the thought process that a corrosion control specialist would employ. This…
