Acceptance criteria and methods for evaluation of corrosion thinning in Carbon Steel Piping.

1. GENERAL

This document provides acceptance criteria and methods for evaluation of corrosion thinning in carbon steel piping. The details are to assist the Surveyors in determining the acceptable corrosion limits for piping systems in service.

The ABS Steel Vessel Rules provide requirements for the design approval of new piping systems, whereas details related to acceptance criteria for corrosion of piping in service is not available.

This document is divided into four sections:

1) Types and causes of corrosion

2) Rules and Industry standards available

3) Inspection and Testing methods

4) Recommended approach for Marine piping systems and Marine piping systems of MODU and Floating Production Installations.

The process piping systems for MODU and Floating Production Installations have not been covered in this document because of a separate approach which will be addressed in the future.

2. TYPES AND CAUSES OF CORROSION

There are many causes of thinning of pipes due to corrosion. Some of the principal causes are:

1) Pitting

2) Erosion and Erosion/Corrosion

3) Electrochemical process

4) Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)

Following is a short description of the causes of corrosion in pipes:

1) Pitting:

Pitting is defined as localized regions of metal loss which can be characterized by a pit diameter on the order of the plate thickness or less, and a pit depth that is less than the plate thickness.

The types of pitting experienced are:

Localized or confined within a Local Thin Area (LTA ).

Widespread or a LTA located in a region of widely scattered pitting.

Acceptance criteria and methods for evaluation of corrosion thinning in Carbon Steel Piping.

2) Erosion and Erosion /Corrosion:

This is the removal of surface material due to impact of solid or liquid particles and normally occurs in areas of turbulent flow or change in direction of flow. A combination of erosion and corrosion results in significantly greater metal loss than can be expected from corrosion or erosion alone.

3) Electrochemical Process:

This is caused by an electrochemical reaction between two dissimilar metals in an electrically conductive environment.

4) Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC):

This is caused by the presence of various microbiological agents under specific environmental conditions. This is very common in HVAC systems and produces large pits.

3. BUREAU PIPING CORROSION EXPERIENCE

The following data was obtained from O2K reports related to pipe failures. The systems with the most reported failures (as of June 2005) attributed to corrosion were as follows:

System Number of reports

Ballast System 22

Sea Water System 14

Fire Main System 14

Steam System 13

Cargo Fuel Oil Pipe 3

Fuel Oil 1

Air Line 1

Bilge System 1

Offshore Piping Systems 1

From these reports are listed some representative observations concerning the particular system.

Ballast System:

1) Ballast piping in No. 5 center double bottom ballast tank, pitted.

2) 8 inch ballast piping on main deck starboard of Cargo Hatch # 1 was noted to be leaking. The pipe had been fitted with a temporary soft patch

Acceptance criteria and methods for evaluation of corrosion thinning in Carbon Steel Piping.

Sea Water System:

1) Seawater crossover main manifold and several smaller lines in engine room bilges found corroded and repaired with doubler.

2) The following seawater piping pieces were found wasted over 25% of original wall thickness, and replaced at the owners discretion:

3) The 20 inch waster piece at the combined overboard located outboard.

4) The 10 inch diameter manifold penetration at the Sprinkler Pump overboard discharge.

5) The low sea chest 30 inch penetration piece and the flanged waster piece adjacent to it.

6) The 24 inch flanged waster piece.

7) The 4 inch waster piece of the Distiller Plant Condenser overboard line.

Fire Main System:

1) The 4 inch diameter fire main piping located starboard side main deck forward of house at Frame No.26 had signs of failure due to wastage and was repaired by cropping approximate two and one-half foot section of the wasted piping, installing new schedule 80 seamless steel pipe and 150# slip-on flanges and welding using approved materials, weld procedure and welders.

2) On lower level of engine room port side inboard of fire and general service pump, corroded pin holes were found in 6" fire main piping.

Steam System:

1) Heating Coils in various Fuel Oil Tanks found leaking.

2) Pinhole leak observed on Boiler blow down Line (Reported in a number of cases).

Cargo Fuel Oil Pipe :

The original fuel oil piping in way of No. 5 centerline double bottom was soft patched due to excessive wastage. The heated fuel oil inside the piping in way of ballast tanks has caused the proliferation of fuel oil piping wastage.

Fuel Oil Pipe:

1) Heating Coils in various Fuel Oil Tanks found leaking.

2) Pinhole leak observed on Boiler blow down Line (Reported in a number of cases).

Service Air System:

Service air pipe on Port side upper deck heavily wasted.

Bilge System:

The bilge system six-inch diameter steel pipe located in the aft engine room bilge, Frame 121-128, was reportedly found with an approximate 20 foot section wasted, thinned and leaking. Upon completion of fabrication the new sections of piping was examined, shop hydro tested at 50 psig and found satisfactory

Offshore Pipe Corrosion failure:

The mud pipeline system mainly on the elbows and T-unions in various locations were found corroded.

4. INDUSTRY CODES AND STANDARDS AND OTHER CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES

Industry Codes and Standards

There are various industry codes and standards relating to piping systems. Some of the common standards are listed as follows:

ASME B 31G - Manual for Determining Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipelines.

DNV RP-F101 - Recommended practice for Corroded Pipelines.

RSTRENG (Remaining Strength) – Technology for use in evaluating the remaining strength of a pipeline when exposed to corrosion.

ASME B31G and RSTRENG are approved technologies by DOT.

4.1 A short description of these standards is described as follows:

ASME B 31G

1) Used extensively for evaluation of Structural Integrity of Pipelines with Corrosion caused metal loss

2) Table for Corrosion Limits compares Longitudinal extent and maximum Depth of corroded area.

3) It is Conservative compared to other methods like RSTRENG and DNV RP-F101.

RSTRENG (Remaining Strength)

1) Designed to evaluate remaining strength of externally corroded pipe

2) Provides more accurate assessment of corroded area compared to other methods

3) Less conservative than ASME B 31G

4) PC based Program, therefore difficult to use in the field by Surveyors.

DNV RP F101

1) Uses empirical formula to calculate piping failures.

2) Unsuitable for Surveyors at locations.

4.2 ABS Rules for “Building and Classing Steel Vessels – 2005”

Some of the survey requirements for new pipes in ABS Rules are as follows:

1) For new pipes, the wall thickness is calculated, which includes the corrosion allowance. This was added in ABS Rules in 2000 as per IACS UR.

2) Chemical cargo and Process piping are excluded from the scope.

3) Class 1 & 2 Pipes are Hydro Tested at 1.5 x P, where P is the design pressure.

4.3 ABS Rules – “Survey after Construction 2005”

The Rules for Survey after Construction has test requirements for various systems as follows:

1) Fire Main

2) Main Steam Piping

3) Cargo Piping

4) Liquefied Gas Carriers

5) Chemical Carriers

Fire Main System

Satisfactory pressure test at the working pressure

Main Steam Piping

Thickness to be measured by NDT.

Alternatively, Hydro test to 1.25 times W.P

Cargo Piping System – Tankers (Cargo, C.O.W, Bunker, Ballast and Tank Vent Piping System).

Pressure test at working pressure, NDT or both.

Liquefied Gas Carrier - Cargo Handling System

Hydrostatic Test at 1.25 Maximum allowable Relief Valve setting.

Chemical Carriers – ESP >10 Yrs. Cargo pipes outside cargo tanks & ballast pipes passing through cargo tanks.

Thickness measured at random or selected pipe lengths to be opened for internal examination.

Pressure tested to maximum working pressure.

Acceptance criteria and methods for evaluation of corrosion thinning in Carbon Steel Piping.

4.4 Some additional inspection/assessment methods in the industry are:

1) API 570 – Piping Inspection Code

2) API RP 580 – Risk - Based Inspection.

3) API 579 – Recommended Practice for Fitness - for - Service.

API 570

This was developed for Petroleum, refining and chemical process industries, but may be used for any piping system.

The API 570 covers inspection, repair, alteration and re-rating procedures for piping that have been in-service.

API RP 580

Risk – Based Inspection in accordance with API RP 580 is a systematic evaluation of the likelihood of failure and the associated consequences of failure.

API 579

Standardization of Fitness for Service assessment techniques for pressurized equipment.

Best practice and not a mandatory standard or Code.

If depth of all pits is less than the specified corrosion/erosion allowance and adequate thickness is available for future pitting damage, no further action is required, other than to record the data. (The specific corrosion allowance for various piping service is given in ABS Rules).

If extent of pitting has reached the corrosion allowance, then local or widespread pitting is to be assessed.

4.5 Feedback from other Class Society

Based on informal discussions with various other Classification Societies regarding their Guidance or Process Instructions available relating to the degree of acceptable corrosion permissible on pipes in service we have collected the following information:

1) LRS no Rules, but Surveyors follow a general 12.5% reduction in pipe thickness.

2) BV has a general criteria of 10 % in overall reduction in thickness and 30% in localized reduction.

3) DNV follows the corrosion allowance limits as per the IACS UR. These limits are identical to those in the ABS Steel Vessel Rules.

5. OVERVIEW OF ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA PROCEDURE

1) The traditional hammer test and hydro test.

2) Based on ABS Rules, the following procedure is proposed for pipelines.

Page 9: Piping Wastage Allowances

Acceptance criteria and methods for evaluation of corrosion thinning in Carbon Steel Piping.

a) Outside Diameter, minimum required pipe wall thickness and corrosion allowance of pipe details should be available to the Surveyor. The Surveyor can verify onboard in the Piping drawings, the O.D and Schedule of the pipes and obtain the corrosion allowance and the minimum required wall thickness from the Tables which can be included in the P.I.

b) NDT test, like UT Gauging, Scanning techniques or Radiography of the pipe to be carried out, wherever necessary.

c) Check adequacy of residual corrosion allowance. This can be verified with the Tables included in the P.I.

d) If depth of pit is less than the corrosion allowance and adequate thickness is available for future pitting damage, then no further action is required, other than to record the data.

3) If extent of pitting has reached the corrosion allowance, then proceed with ASME B31 G calculations, if required.

6. PROCEDURE FOR PIPE CORROSION ASSESSMENT

1. Obtain the nominal pipe size (outer diameter), schedule, pipe nominal wall thickness (t),and pipe service.

2. Obtain the minimum Rule required wall thickness and Rule corrosion allowance (see Tables 4-6-2/Table 4, 4-6-2/Table 3)

3. Determine Actual Corrosion Allowance = Nominal Wall Thickness – Rule Required Wall Thickness

4. Measure maximum depth (d) of corroded area.

5. If (d) < Actual Corrosion Allowance, arrest further corrosion and return pipe to service.

6. If (d) > Actual Corrosion Allowance, determine ratio (d/t).

7. If (d/t) is < 10%, arrest further corrosion and return pipe to service.

8. If (d/t) is > 80%, repair or replace pipe.

7. If 10% < (d/t) < 80%, measure longitudinal extent of the corroded area “L” and apply Tables 1 through 5, (as applicable) as follows:

Select the appropriate Table based on nominal pipe size and measurement units.

TableApplicable to Nominal Pipe Sizes

(US Units)Applicable to Nominal Pipe Sizes

5≥ NPS 20 in. AND < NPS 24 in. ≥ NPS 508 mm AND < NPS 609.6 mm

Locate the row with a depth equal to the measured maximum depth of the corroded area. If the exact measured value is not listed, choose the row showing the next greater depth.

Scan across the columns indicating the wall thickness of the pipe. If the nominal wall thickness is not listed, use the column for the next thinner wall. The value “L” for the maximum allowable longitudinal extent of corrosion permitted is found at the intersection of the column for wall thickness and row for depth. If the maximum longitudinal extent of corrosion is less than that measured, repair or replace the pipe.

Columns:A (2003) Pipes in general, except where Columns B, C, D or E are applicableB Bilge, ballast and sea water pipes except those covered by column DC (2003) Vent, overflow and sounding pipes for integral tanks except those covered by column D (see Note 6 and

7) and fuel oil pipes passing through fuel oil tanks.D Bilge, ballast, vent, overflow and sounding pipes passing through fuel tanks (see Notes 6, 7 and 8).

Bilge, vent, overflow, sounding and fuel pipes passing through ballast tanks (see Note 6, 7 and 8).E Ballast pipes passing through cargo oil tanks (see Note 9).

Cargo pipes passing through ballast tanks (see Note 9).

Notes:1 (2002) The minimum thicknesses are the smallest thicknesses selected from those thicknesses specified in ISO

4200 Series 1, JIS, or ASTM Standards. Notwithstanding the requirements of this Table, diameters and thicknesses specified in other recognized standards will also be acceptable.

2 For threaded pipes, where approved, the thickness is to be measured to the bottom of the thread.3 For pipes protected against corrosion, a reduction of thickness not exceeding 1 mm (0.039 in.) may be

considered.4 For minimum wall thicknesses of copper, copper alloy and austenitic stainless steel pipes, see 4-6-2/Table 5A

and 4-6-2/Table 5B.5 This table is not applicable to exhaust gas pipes.6 For that part of a vent pipe exposed to weather, pipe wall is to be as specified in 4-6-4/9.3.2(a). 7 The thickness indicated for sounding pipes is for the portions outside the tanks to which the pipe is opened.

Within bilge well, to which the pipe is not opened, the thickness is to be extra-heavy; see 4-6-4/11.3.3iv).8 For bilge pipes, column D thickness applies only where required by 4-6-4/5.5.4(c).9 Where permitted by 5-1-7/3.3.3 and 5-1-7/5.3.2.10 (2002) For nominal sizes larger than 450 mm (18 in.), the minimum wall thickness specified for 450 mm (18

in.) nominal size pipe is applicable.
