Description
Summary:This study aims to combine the smart pigs as a non-destructive test (NDT) inspection technique with software developed for the assessment of pipeline corrosion defects to ensure fitness for the surface. The software uses decision support systems, connected through the correlated linkage technique, which is coded using Microsoft Access and Visual C#. This software measures general internal pipeline corrosion forms to identify locations with potential corrosion features and predict corrosion conditions in the future. Computer-aided corrosion management program (CACM) examined maximum corroded depth of internal corrosion, maximum allowable axial corrosion defect length, failure pressure, the corrosion rate, and the remaining pipeline life. This work introduces a wide-ranging review of computer-aided corrosion management programs. The proposed method of assisting and detecting corrosion internal defects and defects data should be available. This software is easy to use without complicated analysis. It helps to reduce unplanned shutdowns in the oil and gas production industry.
