ALGORITHM OF COMPUTING FREQUENCY OF PIPELINES SURVEY USING INTERNAL PIPE INSPECTION FACILITIES
A diagnostic check of oil pipelines condition using an internal pipe inspection facility («Ultrascan» IPIF) represents quite an expensive process. Thereby, a question to determine the most efficient schedule of pipelines survey, proceeding from the analysis of specific operational conditions of each thereof, stays particularly topical. For a timely diagnostics of all failures, including minor ones, it is requested to solve a problem of selecting the optimum time for the IPIF running. The paper cites an algorithm of computing frequency of pipelines survey using internal pipe inspection facilities.
