3 1 FUNCTION DNV-RP-F101 Checker is developed for assessment of corroded pipelines in compliance with DNV-RP-F101 Corroded pipelines Part A. The features of DNV-RP-F101 Checker are listed below: Assessment of single defect: Assessment of a single defect measured with either relative or absolute depth measurements as e.g. for magnetic flux or ultrasonic intelligent pigs. Additional defects: Multiple isolated defects can be evaluated simultaneously, where each defect is interpreted as a single defect. Single defect with combined loading: Assessment of an isolated longitudinal defect under internal pressure loading and superimposed longitudinal compressive stresses. Interacting defects: Assessment of a colony of interacting defects. An Interacting defect is one that interacts with neighbouring defects in an axial or circumferential direction. The failure pressure of an interacting defect is lower than the failure pressure of the individual single defects. Complex shaped defects: Assessment of complex shaped defects. A Complex Shaped Defect is a defect that results from combining colonies of interacting defects, or a single defect for which a profile is available. 1

5 3 HOW TO USE 3.1 Getting Started DNV-RP-F101 Checker consists of the sheets labelled Main, Additional defects, Interacting defects, Complex shape and Combined loading, corresponding to the features described in Section 2. All features make use of the base case data entered in the Main sheet. How to make use of the different sheets/features is presented in the subsections below. Note: As all features make use of data in the Main sheet, the current calculation results in all sheets/features will be deleted when a parameter in the Main sheet is changed. Functions of tool buttons: Load Case button: Load the saved input files. Save Case button: Save the parameters inputted into an input file. Run button: Start the analysis for current sheet. Help button: Call the help document. 3.2 The Main sheet The Main sheet is used for assessment of a single defect as per section of DNV-RP-F101. The calculations are performed by clicking the Run button. Figure 1 shows the input parameters entered in the Main sheet. A description of the input parameters is also given in Table

9 Table 3-2 Results in the Main sheet Figure 2 shows the results from the single defect assessment using the input in Figure 1. The result from this assessment is an allowable internal pressure at reference height that corresponds to an allowable differential pressure at the location of the defect. The limit state has utilisation above 1.0 when the incidental differential pressure at the location of the defect exceeds the allowable differential pressure at this location. In the example shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the defect with depth of 4.78 mm and length 200 mm is acceptable with safety class MEDIUM. 3.3 Additional defects The Additional defects sheet is an extension of the Main where multiple defects can be assessed for the base case set of parameters in the Main sheet. The calculations are performed by clicking the Run button. The calculations performed in the Additional defects sheet make use of the base case parameters in the Main sheet, but where the defect depth, defect length and height at defect is changed to a list of defects. 7

The allowable defect size curve plotted in Figure 3 corresponds to the base case in the Main sheet. Defects that are not acceptable (utilisation > 1.0) are marked in the plot. Note that acceptable and unacceptable defects will correspond to the allowable defect size curve only when the height at defect is the same as what is specified in the base case in the Main sheet. 8

The calculations are performed by clicking the Run button. To assess the pressure resistance of a pipeline with a set of interacting defects, the list of defects is entered with start position, defect depth and length. For more details see section 3.8 of DNV-RP-F101. In this spreadsheet all defects in the defect list are projected onto a projection line to obtain the wall thickness profile. Overlapping of defects are handled automatically by the spreadsheet. The input and results are shown in Figure 4, Table 3-5 and Table 3-6. These parameters are used together with the base case parameters in the Main sheet (except for defect size) to perform the calculation. The pressure resistance of a set of interacting defects is determined from a subset of these defects that together produce the most critical combination. The defects that are part of this subset are marked with a red background colour in the input list and are also illustrated in the wall thickness profile plot, see Figure 4. 9

The calculations are performed by clicking the Run button. To assess the pressure resistance using the complex shape methodology, the wall thickness profile is entered in the form of a list of position and defect depth. For more details see section 3.9 of DNV-RP-F101. The input and results are shown in Figure 5, Table 3-7 and Table 3-8. These parameters are used together with the base case parameters in the Main sheet (except for defect size) to perform the calculation. 11

The calculations are performed by clicking the Run button. To assess the pressure resistance of a single defect using the combined loading methodology, the compressive longitudinal stress and circumferential length of the corroded region is entered. The input and results are shown in Figure 6, Table 3-9 and Table These parameters are used together with the base case parameters in the Main sheet to perform the calculation.
