Estimation of the serviceability of oil and gas pipelines after long-term operation according to the parameters of their defectiveness

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We propose a numerical-experimental procedure for the evaluation of the possibility of safe operation and the risk of failures oil and gas pipelines after long-term operation with regard for the influence of the potential development of in-service defects and degradation of the properties of the pipe metal.
