1. The significance of IP inspection in
a ‘zero-defect’ PIMS
• Significance of the POF specification
• Creation of certainty
• Corrosion growth (assumption)
• Risk assessment and IP inspection
• IP tool selection

2. Remnant life prediction
• Operations window relevant degradation
mechanism (corrosion, erosion, fatigue,
mechanical damages, etc)
• Degradation features, morphology &
dimensions
• POD of the degradation features by (IP)
inspection
• Accuracy, precision & certainty of sizing

3. Ingredients of remnant life prediction
• Time depending growth information
• Probabilistic approach including uncertainties
• Informatin of (internal) operations window
• Information of external interferences
• Pipe material mechanical properties
(statistical distributions)
• Effectiveness Cathodic Protection
• Risk evaluation and acceptance method

11. Zero Defect Approach – Remnant Life Prediction
• Probabilistic correction of defect dimensions
• Corrosion growth estimation/modelling
• Implementation in pressure failure models
(preferably BS/DNV Tensile strength)
• Failure modes: PH, Hole and Rupture
• PH leakage is serious failure mode !!

26. In summary:
Only probabilistic (risk) analyses migth help.
Most used statistics ('awareness of uncertainties') :
POF: POD, Accuarcy (= Standard Deviation), Precision ( = statistical average)
---> At all defect types: PH, Pitting, Ax Slot, AxG r, Gen, Circ Slot, Ax Slot.
---> At all defects: statistical correction of dimensions at d, L and W.
Additinal Statistical Evaluations:
H0:'depth run 1 = depth run 2'
--> corrosion growth analyses
--> at individual defects and/or at average defect depths
Additional analyses:
longitudinal welded versus seamless
corrosion morphology modelling: f(d) = L^x
remnant life analyses
--> P failure at dimensional corrected defects (PH, Pitting, Gen, etc)
--> P failure at corrosion growth at service years
Consequences of IP tool
--> From Risk Assessment ('Business loss Cost at Remaining Service years')
Make a Business Case of each IP run
--> Presentation IP as mitigation option in Risk Matrix.
---> 'Know what you know' by implementing al the (above) analyse results into your business case!!
