Revisiting burst pressure models for corroded pipelines
A number of burst pressure models were developed to determine the remaining strength of corroded pipelines. However, no single model has been found to be acceptable for predicting the burst pressure correctly. In this paper, the burst pressure models for corroded pipelines are revisited based on the structures of three existing models. The model parameters are re-evaluated using an optimization (differential evolution) algorithm with a database developed based on finite element (FE) analysis. A series of FE analysis are performed to determine the burst pressures of corroded pipelines with varying pipe diameters, wall thicknesses, corrosion dimensions and material strength grades. The models with new sets of model parameters provide the burst pressure reduction factors that match with the FE results and experimental data better than the existing models. The study reveals that FE analysis along with an optimization algorithm can effectively be used to develop improved models for better fitness-for-service assessment of pipelines.
