Corroded pipe integrity assessment according to SINTAP procedure

SINTAP procedure gives a comprehensive approach to assessing the integrity of structural components with damage. In this investigation SINTAP procedure has been applied to the hot water pipe with detected corrosion damage that is in operation for more than 15 years of centmlized hot water system, in the City of Osijek. It is a steel pipe 273 x 5 with the measured corrosion damage of 1, 5 mm in depth and 68 mm in length, which is loaded in the exploitation of internal overpressure of 12 bar. Performed analysis based on the FAD approach given in SINTAP procedure shows that for a specified load and measured size of the pipe corrosion damage is sill running deep into the safe area and there is no danger of leak.
