Comprehensive Integrity Assessment of Carbon Steel Feeder Pipes/Elbows Subject to Wall Thinning
Abstract
This paper discusses the comprehensive integrity assessment of feeders fabricated from normalized pipe and elbow piping items subject to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) during in-service conditions. The arguments are based on the improved mechanistic understanding of FAC; review of international piping rupture events; examinations of removed feeders; burst-pressure tests of prototypical and ex-service feeder piping sections, the minimum acceptable wall thickness for feeder piping; and station feeder life cycle management plans. It is concluded that rupture of feeder pipe due to FAC is a very low probability event.
