R-package for diagnostics, reliability and predictive maintenance of pipeline systems.
The package aggregates to some extent the separate knowledge concerning engineering, reliability, diagnostics and predictive maintenance of pipeline systems. For the present time the package contains utilities for processing corrosion data commonly gathered by inline inspection, as well as empirical models for calculations of local thermal-hydraulic regimes of district heating network.
For the latest version leverage r-universe:
install.packages("pipenostics", repos = "https://omega1x.r-universe.dev")⚠ Starting from version 0.1.8 the package is not supported on CRAN due to its resource limitations of checking parallel algorithms
By using of b31crvl() simply imitate the output of
CRVL.BAS which is the honored software for determining the
allowable length and maximum allowable working pressure presented in ASME
B31G-1991:
library(pipenostics)
b31crvl(maop = 910, d = 30, wth = .438, smys = 52000, def = .72, depth = .1, l = 7.5)-- Calculated data --
Intermediate factor (A) = 1.847
Design pressure = 1093 PSI; Safe pressure = 1093 PSI
Pipe may be operated safely at MAOP, 910 PSI
With corrosion length 7.500 inch, maximum allowed corrosion depth is 0.2490 inch; A = 1.847
With corrosion depth 0.100 inch, maximum allowed corrosion length is Inf inch; A = 5.000Let’s consider a pipe in district heating network with
diameter <- 762 # [mm]
wall_thickness <- 10 # [mm]
UTS <- 434.3697 # [MPa]which transfers heat-carrier (water) at
operating_pressure <- 0.588399 # [MPa]
temperature <- 95 # [°C]During inline inspection four corroded areas (defects) are detected with:
depth <- c(2.45, 7.86, 7.93, 8.15) # [mm]whereas the length of all defects is not greater 200 mm:
length <- rep(200, 4) # [mm]
print(length)[1] 200 200 200 200Corrosion rates in radial and in longitudinal directions are not
well-known and may vary in range .01 - .30
mm/year:
rar = function(n) stats::runif(n, .01, .30) / 365
ral = function(n) stats::runif(n, .01, .30) / 365Then probabilities of failure (POFs) related to each corroded area are near:
pof <- mepof(depth, length, rep(diameter, 4), rep(wall_thickness, 4),
rep(UTS, 4), rep(operating_pressure, 4), rep(temperature, 4),
rar, ral, method = "dnv")pipenostics::mepof: process case [4/4] - 100 % . All done, thanks! print(pof)[1] 0.000000 0.252935 0.368741 0.771299So, the POF of the pipe is near
print(max(pof))[1] 0.771299The value of POF changes in time. So, in a year after inline inspection of the pipe we can get something near
pof <- mepof(depth, length, rep(diameter, 4), rep(wall_thickness, 4),
rep(UTS, 4), rep(operating_pressure, 4), rep(temperature, 4),
rar, ral, method = "dnv", days = 365)pipenostics::mepof: process case [4/4] - 100 % . All done, thanks! print(pof)[1] 0.000000 0.526646 0.647422 0.928825For entire pipe we get something near:
print(max(pof))[1] 0.928825Two years ago before inline inspection the pipe state was rather good:
pof <- mepof(depth, length, rep(diameter, 4), rep(wall_thickness, 4),
rep(UTS, 4), rep(operating_pressure, 4), rep(temperature, 4),
rar, ral, method = "dnv", days = -2 * 365)pipenostics::mepof: process case [4/4] - 100 % . All done, thanks!print(pof)[1] 0.000000 0.040849 0.072734 0.272358For entire pipe we get something near:
print(max(pof))[1] 0.272358Let’s consider the next 4-segment tracing path:
Suppose we have the next sensor readings for forward tracing:
t_fw <- 130 # [°C]
p_fw <- 0.588399 # [MPa]
g_fw <- 250 # [ton/hour]Let’s discharges to network for each pipeline segment are somehow determined as
discharges <- seq(0, 30, 10) # [ton/hour]
print(discharges)[1] 0 10 20 30Then the calculated regime (red squares) for forward tracing is
regime_fw <- m325traceline(t_fw, p_fw, g_fw, discharges, forward = TRUE)
print(regime_fw)$temperature
