AMPP Guide 21569-2024, Guidance on Implementing Corrosion Control Methodologies to Align with New PHMSA Regulatory Procedures

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21569-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

In August 2022, the United States Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) revised the Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations to improve the safety of onshore gas transmission lines. PHMSA expects the new requirements will reduce the frequency and consequences of failures and incidents involving onshore natural gas transmission pipelines through earlier detection of threats to pipeline integrity, including those resulting from corrosion or extreme weather events. Additionally, revisions to the regulations address several other areas, including management of change processes, corrosion control, and criteria to repair pipelines. New corrosion control regulations were incorporated into the following sections of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Part 192, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards: 192.319, 192.461, 192.465, 192.473, and 192.478. Additionally, revisions to Sections 192.485 and 192.714 include remedial measures for transmission lines impacted by corrosion.

PHMSA’s Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 2137-AF39 entitled “Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related Amendments” (also known as RIN 2 or the Gas Mega Rule) increases pipeline safety regulatory requirements in 49 CFR 192 for operations, maintenance and integrity management.

Assessing Susceptibility of Insulation Materials to IGSCC under Hot and Wet Conditions: A Novel Test Method

Product Number: 51324-20920-SG

Author: Yuan Li; Lisa Sopkow; Simon Yuen; Matthew Krantz; Tony Lam

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in above-ground carbon steel pipelines has been identified as a distinct mode of failure, different from the typical neutral pH and high pH SCC observed in buried pipelines. This form of SCC occurs under specific conditions, including operating temperatures ranging from 70°C to 190°C, exposure to wet mineral wool insulation, and insulation installations dating from post-2003. The affected carbon steel grades have included API 5L or CSA Z245.1 with specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) of 52 ksi or higher, as well as A106 Gr B, A234 WPB, and A516 Gr 70. Both field and laboratory tests have been conducted in the past to investigate this phenomenon. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This paper presents a summary of the results obtained from various analytical methods, including chemical analyses, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) testing, field crack inspections, U-bend autoclave tests, and a novel wet/dry cyclic test. It outlines the gaps in our understanding and highlights key findings that contribute to a better understanding of SCC in this specific context. Additionally, this paper discusses the development of test methods for screening susceptible materials, which is crucial for preventing failures related to intergranular SCC in above-ground carbon steel pipelines.

Digital Twin as a Tool for Extending In-Line Inspection Intervals

Product Number: 51324-20824-SG

Author: Keith Parker; Yanping Li; Christophe Baete; Victoria Chum; Trey Johnston

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Aging pipeline assets are a concern for many pipeline operators. As pipelines age, external corrosion control becomes more challenging and often results in more aggressive monitoring and maintenance activities such as more frequent in-line inspections (ILI) and direct examinations. A pipeline case study is discussed demonstrating how a digital twin based on mechanistic modeling was utilized as a proof of concept for identifying possible cathodic protection remedial actions to decrease external corrosion growth rates (CGR) with the goal of extending the ILI inspection interval from 3 to 5 years. Various remediations such as adjusting or adding cathodic protection and resolving interference are modeled and compared with the existing corrosion control configuration. An economic analysis is included to determine if theoretical remediations can reduce monitoring and maintenance costs while maintaining asset integrity.

Effect of Temperature on Iron Sulfide Formation and Transformation on Steel Surface

Product Number: MECC23-19971-SG

Author: Abdulrahman Alqahtani, Faisal Abbas, Omar Al-Saif, Layan AlSharif, Muthukumar Nagu, Christian Canto Maya

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

In sour (H2S) corrosion systems, a small amount of H2S can retard the general CO2 corrosion rate of carbon steel by forming a passive iron sulfide (FeS) layer [1], [2]. Environmental factors dictate the formation of protective or partially protective FeS layers on carbon steel surfaces. High H2S levels often result in stable films that reduce the corrosion rate, contingent upon the maintenance of the sulfide layer [2]. Conversely, in slightly sour systems, which initially form mackinawite (FeS) [3], the system has the potential to cause pitting and extremely high localized corrosion rates [2].
