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 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 …

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 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 …

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 …

Pitting corrosion is one of the main threats in the pressure vessels integrity and also causes
the failure of buried pipelines steels that transport sour gas, crude oil or condensate …

The stochastic nature of pitting corrosion of metallic structures has been widely recognized.
It is assumed that this kind of deterioration retains no memory of the past, so only the current …

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 …

A continuous time non-homogenous linear growth pure birth Markov model was used to
predict the future pit depth distribution of internally corroded oil and gas pipelines. A …

A methodology is described for the assessment of the service life of liquid carrying metallic
pipelines subjected to pitting corrosion. The estimate of pipeline life is based on the loss of …
