Guidelines For The Collection Of Reliable And Practicable ECDA Indirect Inspection Data

Product Number: 51322-17978-SG

The External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) is formally listed as an acceptable integrity assessment method within Subpart O, Part 192 of the code of federal regulations regarding gas transmission pipeline integrity management2. It is a 4 step continuous improvement process to identify and address locations where external corrosion activity has occurred, is occurring or may occur1. In the pre-assessment phase, a comprehensive right-of-way inspection is performed, and pipeline operability data is collected to verify the feasibility of conducting a full ECDA for the pipeline under evaluation. In the indirect inspection phase, the status of cathodic protection and pipeline coating is tested using methods such as Close Interval Potential Surveys (CIPS) and Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG) surveys.

Improvements in Direct Assessment with the Non-Contact Magnetic Gradient Tomography Method (MTM-G)

Product Number: 51324-20874-SG

Due to the serious consequences of external corrosion and leaks in underground pipelines, external corrosion direct assessment, as described in AMPP SP0502, was developed to proactively prevent external corrosion and ensure the integrity of oil and gas pipelines that are difficult to pig. This standard requires a minimum of two indirect inspections to confirm the most susceptible locations on a pipeline for external corrosion to occur. Cathodic protection, coating and soil resistivity are collected during the indirect inspection process to help classify and prioritize anomalies for direct examination. This is also applicable during stress corrosion cracking direct assessment, where indirect inspection data are supplemented with other data to help pinpoint susceptible locations. All these techniques are not capable of identifying external metal loss or external stress corrosion cracks from aboveground; the pipeline must be exposed for the defects to be evaluated. The invention of the non-contact magnetic gradient tomography method has elevated DA protocols. This technology can use magnetic field strength from aboveground to identify external metal loss, cracks, dents, etc. This paper presents process improvements and real-life case studies demonstrating the benefits of this technology on non-piggable pipelines.

NACE SP0110-2024, Wet Gas Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (WG-ICDA) Methodology for Pipelines

Product Number: NACE SP0110-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This standard practice outlines a methodology to assess pipeline integrity because of the threat of internal corrosion for onshore and offshore pipelines and other piping systems that normally carry water-saturated or undersaturated natural and/or raw gas with condensed water, or with water and liquid hydrocarbons, termed wet gas internal corrosion direct assessment (WG-ICDA).

NACE SP0113-2023, Pipeline Integrity Management: Methods Selection and Implementation

Product Number: NACE SP0113-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

This standard practice provides guidance on selecting and implementing the Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM) methods (i.e., technologies and processes) to assess and to mitigate threats to pipeline integrity. Predominant threats to pipeline integrity are external corrosion (EC), internal corrosion (IC), stress corrosion cracking (SCC), mechanical damage (first, second, and third party or vandalism), equipment malfunctioning, manufacturing anomalies, construction anomalies, incorrect operations, weather-related, and external forces. The standard is focused on the “selection” and “implementation” of methods and best practices to manage pipeline integrity, but not necessarily on defining all aspects of PIM programs.
