It is difficult to understand the process of underground corrosion, but the progress of pitting
depth can be predicted after finding out a statistical law describing many samples of pitting …

The probability distributions of external-corrosion pit depth and pit growth rate were
investigated in underground pipelines using Monte Carlo simulations. The study combines a …

A predictive model for pitting corrosion in buried pipelines is proposed. The model takes into
consideration the chemical and physical properties of the soil and pipe to predict the time …

A continuous-time, non-homogenous linear growth (pure birth) Markov process has been
used to model external pitting corrosion in underground pipelines. The closed form solution …

Mild and low-alloy structural steels are used extensively for major structures exposed to
saline or marine immersion conditions, including ships, offshore platforms, pipelines, tanks …

Pitting corrosion is treated as a time-dependent stochastic damage process characterized by
an exponential or logarithmic pit growth. Data from water injection pipeline systems and from …

A model has been developed to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines.
This model is based on experiments carried out in the laboratory at high pressure and high …

It is proposed that for immersion corrosion conditions extreme pit depths are those resulting
from immediate pit initiation and pit growth without significant metastable activity. This is …

A newly developed passivation/acid immersion technique was employed to produce pits
free from deformation or residual stress on X-52 pipeline steel samples. Pits have been …

Depth of pits that propagate during a pitting corrosion process is an important characteristic
of the damage of steels; the greater the depth, the more dramatic the damage. For evident …
