[0058] Example 1

[0059] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of a pipeline evaluation method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0060] Figure 1 Pipeline assessment methods in include:

[0061] S110, dividing the target pipeline into multiple pipeline segments.

[0062] The target pipeline is the pipeline that needs to be evaluated for reliability. Usually, the pipeline is made of materials such as steel pipes that are thousands of meters long. The target pipeline is divided into multiple pipe sections, that is, a pipe section is an independent part of the pipeline. The length of each pipe section is set according to actual needs, and can be the length of a steel pipe and a weld, which is not limited here.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the target pipeline is divided into multiple pipeline sections, including:

[0064] The pipeline internal pressure change point, pipeline diameter change point, pipeline material type change point, pipeline starting point and pipeline ending point of the target pipeline are all determined as pipeline segment division nodes;

[0065] The target pipeline is divided into multiple pipe segments based on all pipe segment division nodes.

[0066] The pipeline internal pressure change point refers to the position where the internal pressure of the pipeline changes significantly. Similarly, the pipeline diameter change point refers to the position where the diameter of the pipeline changes significantly. The pipeline material type change point refers to the position where the material type of the pipeline changes significantly.

[0067] The target pipeline's internal pressure change points, pipeline diameter change points, pipeline material type change points, pipeline starting points, and pipeline ending points are all determined as segment division nodes. The target pipeline is divided into multiple segments based on all segment division nodes, and then the pipeline is divided into multiple minimum units using the steel pipes and welds of the pipeline as segments. By dividing the pipeline, the reliability of different pipeline segment units under different failure modes can be considered, thereby obtaining more accurate pipeline reliability assessment results.

[0068] S120, obtaining attribute parameters of each pipe segment during operation.

[0069] When the pipeline is put into use, the attribute parameters of each pipe segment during operation are obtained. The type of attribute parameters is set according to actual needs. It can be the yield strength of the pipe segment, pipe segment diameter, pipe segment wall thickness, tensile strength, fracture toughness, corrosion depth, defect length, internal pressure, material density and material elastic modulus, etc., any parameters that change when the pipeline fails, which are not limited here.

[0070] It should be understood that when it is determined that a pipe section has failed, the environmental parameters of the area where the pipe section is located can also be obtained. The type of environmental parameters is also set according to actual needs, and can be the subsidence length of the area where the pipe section is located, the density of the buried soil, the buried depth of the pipeline, the pipe-soil friction angle, the static soil pressure coefficient and the buried soil base bed coefficient, etc., which are not limited here. The failure mode of the failed pipe section can be determined based on the obtained environmental parameters and attribute parameters.

[0071] S130, determining state parameters under all failure modes according to the attribute parameters of each pipe segment.

[0072] According to the attribute parameters of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipe section under each failure mode are determined. The state parameter refers to the variable of the state of the pipeline at a certain moment, which can be the pressure of the pipeline, etc. The state parameter under the failure mode refers to the characteristic parameters exhibited when the pipeline fails.

[0073] The types of multiple failure modes are set according to actual needs and are not limited here. For ease of understanding, all failure modes in the embodiments of the present application include pipeline corrosion leakage failure mode, pipeline pressure rupture failure mode, pipeline deformation failure mode and pipeline weld cracking failure mode.

[0074] S140, using a Monte Carlo algorithm to determine the failure probability corresponding to each failure mode based on the state parameters in all failure modes.

[0075] Monte Carlo Method is a calculation method based on random sampling and statistical simulation. Since the Monte Carlo algorithm can divide the calculation process into multiple independent tasks, it can calculate multiple parallel independent failure modes. Using the Monte Carlo algorithm, the failure probability of each failure mode of each pipe segment is determined based on the state parameters and reliability parameters of each failure mode of each pipe segment. The failure probability of each failure mode of the pipe segment is the reliability of the pipe segment under different failure modes. According to the failure probability, the probability of failure of each pipe segment in the target pipeline can be quickly determined.

[0076] S150, obtaining a reliability assessment result of the target pipeline according to the failure probability corresponding to each failure mode.

[0077] According to the failure probability corresponding to each failure mode of the pipe segment, the total failure probability of the pipeline is determined. Based on the total failure probability of each pipe segment, the reliability of the pipe segment is determined. The reliability of all pipe segments is combined to obtain the reliability evaluation result of the target pipeline. Through the reliability evaluation result of the target pipeline, the pipe segments prone to failure can be quickly identified, and then the pipe segments in the pipeline can be maintained and repaired to ensure the long-term reliable operation of the pipeline.

[0078] Usually, when evaluating the reliability of a pipeline, only the reliability of the pipeline in the leakage failure mode or the reliability of the pipeline in the rupture failure mode is considered. This application divides the pipeline into multiple segments and analyzes the reliability of multiple segments in different failure modes, so as to comprehensively evaluate the reliability of the pipeline and obtain more accurate pipeline reliability evaluation results. The pipeline is maintained and repaired based on the reliability evaluation results to ensure the long-term reliable operation of the pipeline.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the state parameters under all failure modes are determined according to the attribute parameters of each pipe segment, including:

[0080] According to the attribute parameters and critical corrosion depth of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline under the corrosion leakage failure mode are determined;

[0081] Determine the state parameters of the pipeline under the pressure rupture failure mode based on the attribute parameters and maximum defect depth of each pipe section;

[0082] According to the attribute parameters of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline under the deformation failure mode are determined;

[0083] According to the property parameters and stress intensity factor of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline weld cracking failure mode are determined.

[0084] Usually, pipelines are laid in the soil. Under the chemical or physical corrosion of the external environment, the metal surface of the steel pipe or other materials of the pipeline are damaged, which leads to leakage of the pipeline and eventually leads to pipeline corrosion and leakage failure. According to the attribute parameters and critical corrosion depth of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline corrosion and leakage failure mode are determined.

[0085] Pipeline pressure rupture failure refers to failure caused by rupture of the pipeline after being subjected to pressure. Usually, the working pressure of the pipeline exceeds the bearing pressure of the pipeline material. The aging or corrosion of the pipeline after long-term use can easily lead to pipeline pressure rupture failure. According to the attribute parameters and maximum defect depth of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline pressure rupture failure mode are determined.

[0086] No further details are given here. For ease of understanding, in the embodiments of the present application, the sinking and deformation of the pipeline is taken as an example. The ground in the area where the pipeline is located sinks or the underground structure is displaced, which in turn causes the pipeline to deform and fail. Usually, during the long-term use of the pipeline, the aging of the pipeline and the excessive load on the pipeline will also cause the pipeline to deform and fail. According to the attribute parameters of each pipe section, the state parameters in the pipeline deformation failure mode are determined.

[0087] Similarly, in the long-term use of pipelines, aging of pipelines and corrosion from the external environment are likely to cause weld cracking. Any weld cracking in the pipeline will lead to pipeline failure. The state parameters of the pipeline weld cracking failure mode are determined based on the attribute parameters and stress intensity factor of each pipe section.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the property parameters include corrosion depth and pipe wall thickness;

[0089] According to the attribute parameters and critical corrosion depth of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline corrosion leakage failure mode are determined, including:

[0090] Based on the wall thickness of each pipe section, determine the critical corrosion depth of the pipe section;

[0091] According to the corrosion depth and critical corrosion depth of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline under the corrosion leakage failure mode are determined.

[0092] When analyzing pipeline corrosion and leakage failure, the attribute parameters that need to be obtained include the corrosion depth and wall thickness of each pipe segment in the pipeline. Based on the wall thickness of each pipe segment, the critical corrosion depth of the pipe segment is determined. According to the corrosion depth and critical corrosion depth of each pipe segment, the state parameters in the pipeline corrosion and leakage failure mode are determined:

[0093] G leak =a lim -d Formula (1)

[0094] Among them, G leak is the state parameter of the pipeline corrosion leakage failure mode, d is the corrosion depth of the pipe section, a lim is the critical corrosion depth of the pipe section. In this implementation, a lim =0.St, and t is the wall thickness of the pipe section.

[0095] It should be understood that the critical corrosion depth of the pipe section can also be set to any other value according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, the attribute parameters include defect length, pipe segment wall thickness, pipe segment diameter, yield strength, and internal pressure;

[0097] According to the attribute parameters and maximum defect depth of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline under pressure rupture failure mode are determined, including:

[0098] Determine the expansion coefficient of each pipe segment based on the defect length, pipe segment wall thickness and pipe segment diameter of each pipe segment;

[0099] Determine the ultimate pressure of each pipe section based on the expansion coefficient, pipe section diameter, pipe section wall thickness, maximum defect depth and yield strength of each pipe section;

[0100] Based on the ultimate pressure and internal pressure of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline under the pressure rupture failure mode are determined.

[0101] When analyzing the failure of pipeline pressure rupture, the attribute parameters that need to be obtained include the defect length, wall thickness, diameter, yield strength and internal pressure of each pipe segment in the pipeline. Based on the defect length, wall thickness and diameter of each pipe segment, the expansion coefficient of the pipe segment is determined:

[0102]

[0103] Among them, M is the expansion coefficient of the pipe section, L is the defect length of the pipe section, D is the diameter of the pipe section, and t is the wall thickness of the pipe section.

[0104] The value of the maximum defect depth is set according to actual needs and is not limited here. The ultimate pressure of the pipe section is determined based on the expansion coefficient, pipe section diameter, pipe section wall thickness, maximum defect depth and yield strength of each pipe section:

[0105]

[0106] Among them, p lim is the ultimate pressure of the pipe section, σ y is the yield strength of the pipe section, D is the diameter of the pipe section, t is the wall thickness of the pipe section, d is the maximum defect depth of the pipeline, and M is the expansion coefficient of the pipe section.

[0107] Based on the ultimate pressure and internal pressure of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline under pressure rupture failure mode are determined:

[0108] G burst =p lim -p Formula (4)

[0109] Among them, G burst is the state parameter of the pipeline under pressure rupture failure mode, p lim is the ultimate pressure of the pipe section, and p is the internal pressure of the pipe section.

[0110] In the embodiments of the present application, the property parameters include pipe segment diameter, pipe segment wall thickness, internal pressure, and yield strength;

[0111] According to the attribute parameters of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline deformation failure mode are determined, including:

[0112] Determine the axial stress and hoop stress of each pipe segment according to the pipe segment diameter, pipe segment wall thickness and internal pressure of each pipe segment;

[0113] Based on the yield strength, hoop stress, axial stress and radial stress of each pipe section, the state parameters under the pipeline deformation failure mode are determined.

[0114] When analyzing pipeline deformation failure, the attribute parameters that need to be obtained include pipe segment diameter, pipe segment wall thickness, internal pressure and yield strength. The axial stress of the pipe segment is determined based on the pipe segment diameter, pipe segment wall thickness and internal pressure of each pipe segment. Since the axial stress of the pipe segment is also affected by factors such as pipeline tension, the axial stress of the pipe segment in this embodiment is:

[0115]

[0116] Among them, σ1 is the axial stress of the pipe segment, p is the internal pressure of the pipe segment, D is the diameter of the pipe segment, t is the wall thickness of the pipe segment, N0 is the tension of the pipe segment in the soil, S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe segment, M0 is the bending moment at the junction of the pipe segment and the soil, and W is the offset of the pipe segment.

[0117] It should be understood that the tension of the pipe section in the soil is calculated based on parameters such as soil bulk density, soil friction angle, variable length of the soil and load of the pipe section, which will not be elaborated here. The bending moment is calculated based on parameters such as the tension of the pipe section and the buried depth of the pipe section, which will not be elaborated here.

[0118] When determining the hoop stress of a pipe segment, there is no need to consider the influence of factors such as pipeline tension. Instead, the hoop stress of the pipe segment can be determined directly based on the pipe segment diameter, pipe segment wall thickness and internal pressure of each pipe segment:

[0119]

[0120] Among them, σ2 is the hoop stress of the pipe section, p is the internal pressure of the pipe section, D is the diameter of the pipe section, and t is the wall thickness of the pipe section.

[0121] Usually, the structure of the pipe section is a thin-walled cylindrical structure, so that the radial stress of the pipe section can be directly regarded as 0, and there is no need to determine the radial stress of the pipe section additionally. Then, based on the yield strength, hoop stress, axial stress and radial stress of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline deformation failure mode are determined:

[0122]

[0123] Among them, G suspend is the state parameter of the pipeline deformation failure mode, σ y is the yield strength of the pipe segment, σ1 is the axial stress of the pipe segment, σ2 is the hoop stress of the pipe segment, and σ3 is the radial stress of the pipe segment.

[0124] In the embodiments of the present application, the property parameters include yield strength and fracture toughness;

[0125] According to the property parameters and stress intensity factor of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline weld cracking failure mode are determined, including:

[0126] Determine the weld load ratio of the pipe section based on the yield strength of each pipe section;

[0127] According to the weld load ratio of each pipe segment, the cracking failure function of the pipe segment is constructed;

[0128] Determine the fracture ratio of each pipe segment based on the stress intensity factor, fracture toughness and weld load ratio of each pipe segment;

[0129] According to the cracking failure function and fracture ratio of each pipe section, the state parameters of the pipeline weld cracking failure mode are determined.

[0130] When analyzing pipeline weld cracking failure, the property parameters that need to be obtained include yield strength and fracture toughness. Based on the yield strength of each pipe segment, determine the weld load ratio of the pipe segment:

[0131] L r =σ ref / σ y Formula (8)

[0132] Among them, L r is the weld load ratio of the pipe section, σ ref is the reference stress, σ y is the yield strength of the pipe section.

[0133] According to the weld load ratio of each pipe segment, the cracking failure function of the pipe segment is constructed:

[0134]

[0135] Among them, f(L r ) is the cracking failure function of the pipe section, L r is the weld load ratio of the pipe section, λ=1+(EΔε) / σ y , and Δε=0.0375(1-σ y / 1000), N=0.3(1-σ y / σ u ), E is the elastic modulus of the pipe section, σ y is the yield strength of the pipe section, σ u is the tensile strength of the weld.

[0136] Based on the stress intensity factor, fracture toughness and weld load ratio of each pipe segment, the fracture ratio of the pipe segment under the current weld load is determined as K r (L r ), where the calculation formula for the fracture ratio is K r =K1 / K mat , K1 is the stress intensity factor of the pipe section, K mat is the fracture toughness of the pipe section, L r The weld of the pipe section.

[0137] For ease of understanding, this application constructs a reliability calculation model for the pipeline, and substitutes the failure probabilities corresponding to the pipeline corrosion leakage failure mode, the failure probabilities corresponding to the pipeline pressure rupture failure mode, the failure probabilities corresponding to the pipeline deformation failure mode, and the failure probabilities corresponding to the pipeline weld cracking failure mode into the reliability calculation model to obtain the reliability of the pipe section:

[0138] F SEC =1-(1-F1)(1-F2)(1-F3)(1-F WELD ) Formula (10)

[0139] R SEC =1-F SEC Formula (11)

[0140] Among them, R SEC is the reliability evaluation result of the pipe section, F SEC is the total failure probability of the pipe section, F1 is the failure probability corresponding to the failure mode of pipeline corrosion leakage, F2 is the failure probability corresponding to the failure mode of pipeline pressure rupture, F3 is the failure probability corresponding to the failure mode of pipeline deformation, and F WELD is the failure probability corresponding to the pipeline weld cracking failure mode.

[0141] After obtaining the reliability of each pipe section, the reliability of all pipe sections is combined to obtain the reliability assessment result of the target pipeline. The pipe sections with abnormal reliability are maintained and repaired based on the reliability assessment results to ensure the long-term reliable operation of the pipeline. The Monte Carlo method is used to calculate the reliability of the pipe section under different failure modes, and finally the reliability values ​​of each pipe section under different failure modes are brought into the reliability calculation model to realize the system structure reliability calculation of the target pipeline, so as to judge whether the pipe section in the pipeline is safe, assist in the decision-making of reliability enhancement measures, reduce the failure probability of the pipeline, realize the improvement of the reliability of the natural gas pipeline, and ensure the safety of gas supply.

[0142] The present application provides a pipeline assessment method, including: dividing the target pipeline into multiple pipe sections; obtaining the attribute parameters of each pipe section during operation; determining the state parameters under all failure modes according to the attribute parameters of each pipe section; using the Monte Carlo algorithm based on the state parameters under all failure modes to determine the failure probability corresponding to each failure mode; and obtaining the reliability assessment result of the target pipeline according to the failure probability corresponding to each failure mode. By dividing the pipeline into multiple pipe sections and analyzing the reliability of multiple pipe sections under different failure modes, the reliability of the pipeline can be comprehensively assessed, thereby obtaining a more accurate pipeline reliability assessment result. The pipeline is maintained and repaired based on the reliability assessment results, thereby ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the pipeline.
