Kazerouni Sangi and Y. Gholipour}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Steel made pipelines with different diameters are used for transmitting oil and gas which in many cases are buried in soil under the sea bed or immersed in sea water. External corrosion of pipes is an important form of deterioration due to the aggressive environment of sea water. Corrosion normally results in pits. Hence, using the finite element method, namely ABAQUS software, this paper estimates the amount of pressure capacity reduction of a pipecontaining a semi-elliptical pitting corrosion and the rate of corrosion during the pipeline life of 25 years.}, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {12}, year = {2010}, pages = {389 - 392}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2424}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/48}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 48, 2010}, }
