How to model Corroded PIpe or Spot corrosion?:

Question: Does AutoPIPE offer a function or upgrade that will analyze corroded pipe with the following user information: 

a. Corrosion network sizes
b. Longitudinal and rotational positions
c. Minimum wall thickness at pit depths

Answer:

The following enhancement has been logged: CAE-CR-10121, Add ASME B31G: Remaining Strength of Corroded pipeline. 

Until this enhancement has been added to the program the only modeling approach available would be to model the ping in AutoPIPE and specify a Corrosion Allowance, found on the Pipe Properties dialog for each material associated with the corroded pipe. In addition, be sure to adjust the following Tool> Model Option settings;

Results model options: 

A. Use nominal thickness - disable check box

B. Use nom. thk. for Hoop - disable check box

Edit model options: 

A. Use nom. thk. for Hoop - disable check box

 Refer to AutoPIPE help for details on these features and how they affect specific results.
