Research of Pipeline Pressure Based on the Reliability Theory

The former gas pipeline operating pressure transmission determined mostly according to the determined formula into the corresponding pipeline parameters are obtained, and the parameters of the actual pipeline due to many reasons, such as measurement error, production batch, etc., is not a fixed value. This paper on pipeline integrity established limit state equation, using Monte Carlo method to calculate the gas pipeline in different pressures of reliability, according to the API (American Petroleum Institute) 579 recommended target reliability to determine the operating pressure of the different regions, and design coefficient method, the calculated results are compared, results of calculation reliability is more reasonable and improve the delivery pressure of the area, the pipeline safety management provides the basis.
