Pipeline Integrity Guidance Tool

A structured reference for evaluating pipeline defects and integrity conditions.

This tool provides structured guidance for evaluating pipeline defects and integrity conditions. It is designed to support engineering thinking, data collection, and early-stage assessment.

It does not replace professional engineering judgment, operator procedures, or regulatory requirements.

Beta notice: This tool is an active development (beta) version. Content, structure, and guidance may change over time and may contain errors or incomplete information. Users should not rely on this tool as a final or authoritative source and should apply professional engineering judgment and applicable procedures.

External Corrosion Corrosion-driven threats organized around metal-loss behavior, morphology, interaction, and corrosion control context. 6 topics Internal Corrosion Corrosion-driven threats tied to internal service conditions, flow behavior, water hold-up, deposits, and internal metal-loss mechanisms. 1 topics Stress Corrosion Cracking Crack and SCC-driven threats where susceptibility, validation, and failure behavior require crack-specific review. 2 topics Manufacturing-Related Defects Threats tied to seam type, vintage, manufacturing susceptibility, and pipe-making attributes. 5 topics Welding / Fabrication-Related Defects Threats where girth welds, fabrication details, and weld interaction change significance and response. 5 topics Third-Party / Mechanical Damage Threats driven by deformation, impact, gouging, and mechanically damaged pipe rather than corrosion alone. 5 topics Weather-Related and Outside Force Threats driven by land movement, strain, crossings, support change, and outside-force loading. 8 topics Equipment / Appurtenance / Connection Issues Threats tied to fittings, valves, threaded connections, appurtenances, and local connection integrity rather than pipe-body defects alone. 2 topics Threat Identification / Data Quality Support Support workflows used to identify the right threat path and decide whether ILI data are trustworthy enough to use. 3 topics
