Development of a pipeline inspection and maintenance optimization system (Phase 1). Final report, May-November 1991

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7232675
;
The report identifies types of gas transmission pipeline defects, inspection and maintenance options currently used to insure pipeline integrity, and data required for statistical analysis of corrosion defects. The report also presents decision trees developed to represent the various inspection and maintenance options. This information will be used in subsequent phases to develop a software tool for identifying optimum inspection and maintenance strategies for gas transmission pipelines.
