dnvpf: DNV-RP-F101. Failure pressure of the corroded pipe

Description

Calculate failure pressure of the corroded pipe according to Section 8.2 of in DNV-RP-F101. The estimation is valid for single isolated metal loss defects of the corrosion/erosion type and when only internal pressure loading is considered.

The next assumption of the corrosion shape is adopted by DNV-RP-F101:

There dcor represents argument depth.

Usage

dnvpf(d, wth, uts, depth, l)

Value

Estimated failure pressure of the corroded pipe, [MPa]. Type: assert_double.

Arguments

d

nominal outside diameter of pipe, [mm]. Type: assert_double.

wth

nominal wall thickness of pipe, [mm]. Type: assert_double.

uts

ultimate tensile strength (UTS) or specified minimum tensile strength (SMTS) as a characteristic of steel strength, [MPa]. Type: assert_double.

depth

measured maximum depth of the corroded area, [mm]. Type: assert_double.

l

measured maximum longitudinal length of corroded area, [mm]. Type: assert_double.

Details

In contrast to ASME B31G-2012 property of pipe metal is characterized by specified minimum tensile strength - SMTS, [\(N/mm^2\)], and SI is default unit system. SMTS is given in the linepipe steel material specifications (e.g. API 5L) for each material grade.

At the same time Timashev et al. used ultimate tensile strength - UTS in place of SMTS. So, for the case those quantities may be used in interchangeable way.

Numeric NAs may appear in case prescribed conditions of use are offended.
