Integrity Management of Vintage Pipelines
Vintage or early-generation pipelines—those constructed prior to 1970—pose unique integrity management issues. This SI course covers regulatory requirements; early pipe manufacturing processes and field construction practices; and impact of vintage pipeline characteristics on inspection, flaw assessment, repair, and rupture vulnerability. The course also discusses suitable nondestructive examination methods, operational approaches to minimize probability of failure, and how to supplement field inspection with tapped coupons.
