Bayesian Approach To Life Modelling For Probabilistic Corrosion Analysis

Paper No. IPC2024-133999

This paper presents a Bayesian model to estimate the service life of pipeline coatings, vital for preventing external corrosion. By combining prior knowledge with integrity dig data, the model quantifies the probability of coating durability over time. It improves corrosion growth rate estimates and supports probabilistic assessments, aiding better decision-making in pipeline maintenance and safety.
