Pipeline Corrosion and Coating

Inspection Report
Line ABC - 20

Verification Dig Project

An In-Line Inspection Run was conducted on Line to Assess the Integrity of Line ABC -20. A
verification dig project was conducted at Station 143+55 using 3D Structured Light to assess a
corrosion indication 10 D/S of the weld. This report includes a Pipeline Inspection Report, 3D
Analysis using Company Interaction Rules and a RSTRENG Analysis to determine the safe
operating pressure and mitigation for this defect.

Defect, Damage or Corrosion Measurement Section

1) Tabulate all dents, gouges, slivers, corrosion, S.C.C., etc.
2) Reference Point - beginning or ending Sta. No. should be correlated to a Girth Weld, Valve, Tee, Road, etc., as shown on
Alignment Sheet with a known Station Number. Recommend Girth Weld as a reference.
3) Solid in one dashed line to depict long seam. On seamless pipe, measurements are to e made from the 12: oclock position. If
pipe is vertical, substitute North for the 12: oclock position.
4) Defects such as dents, slivers, gouges, etc. shall be tabulated individually. Corrosion cracks and/or corrosion pitting closely
grouped may be tabulated as one defect.
5) Defect width and length will be measured along the girth and longitudinal axis respectively.

Type of repair Required?

Composite Sleeve

Comments:
ASME B31.G and Modified B31.G failed the established 550 PSI MAOP. However, the Remaining Strength exceeded
the MAOP. Because this is an area for possible encroachment, a composite sleeve was recommended for permanent
repair.

Conclusions and Recommendations

(13) Conclusions
Field Conclusions were as follows:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Corrosion pitting was found underneath disbonded coating.

Corrosion pitting was approximately 11 L x 5 W and 138 mils deep.
Coating was disbonded in a 15 long by 10 wide patch.
Low pipe to electrolyte potentials were found at corroded area.
Population growth and encroachment near site were observed.

B31G, Modified and RSTRENG Calculations:

ASME B31.G and Modified B31.G failed the established 550 PSI MAOP.
Remaining Strength Calculations (Effective Area) found Safe Operating Pressure at 580 PSI and Safety Factor
at 1.45.
Other safety factors were used to make recommendations.

(14) Recommendations and Mitigation

Mitigation consists of Recoat, Repair, Replace, Reduce Pressure or Other i.e. Additional CP, Reduce Interference, etc.

Remarks:

Because of encroachment and other issues, ABC manager elected to use a permanent composite sleeve to maintain the
integrity of the pipeline in this area.
