Crack PCFA
Conduct a Pipeline Fatigue Analysis and Estimate Fatigue Crack Growth, all within CIM.
OneBridge Solutions’ Crack Management provides an efficient approach to traditional methods of crack analysis, thereby reducing the effort of exporting crack data to other applications, risking copy & paste errors, or managing disparate data formats.
Evaluate Cyclic Fatigue
Determine if a pipeline is susceptible to cyclic fatigue by performing a pressure cycle fatigue analysis (PCFA), utilizing pressure data provided and uploaded by the pipeline operator.
Proven Fracture Models
Determine the predicted failure pressure for all crack and crack-like flaws utilizing technically proven fracture mechanics models, including Raju-Newman, Modified Log-Secant and MAT-8, which harnesses OneBridge’s partnership with industry crack expert, Ted Anderson.
Calculate Remaining Life
Determine an estimated flaw growth and remaining life for all identified crack and crack-like flaws, allowing for transparent and effective decision-making. Initial flaw size found from inline inspection data or derived from the highest pressure seen during a pressure test.
Post-Analysis Reports
Analysis results available in auto-generated downloadable reports providing failure pressure, remaining life, predicted failure mode, flaw depth and length at failure as well as the calculated cyclic index at the location of each identified crack.
OneBridge works with pipeline operators to develop data-driven integrity management solutions.
