Shell92. Failure pressure of the corroded pipe

Description

Calculate failure pressure of the corroded pipe according to Shell92 code.

This code should be applied only to

• single cross section of the pipeline containing a longitudinally oriented, flat bottom surface defect of corrosion/erosion type;

• defects which depth is less than 85 % of pipe wall thickness.

The estimation is valid for single isolated metal loss defects of the corrosion/erosion type and when only internal pressure loading is considered.

As in the case of dnvpf, the defect is approximated by a rectangular form.

Usage

shell92pf(d, wth, uts, depth, l)

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

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

Value

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