Abstract Corrosion management in some remote locations such as Niger Delta region of Nigeria, is at risk uncertainty constant power supply. Thus, solar photovoltaic (PV) presents a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil energy mitigating pipeline failure, associated human and material harzards other environmental exposures. Coating defects takes place when the surface structure cathodic...

Conventional pipeline failure pressure assessment codes do not allow for prediction of interacting defects subjected to combined loadings. Alternatively, numerical approaches may be used; however, they are computationally expensive. In this work, an analytical equation based on finite element analysis the API 5L X52, X65, and X80 corroded pipes with a longitudinal corrosion defect loadings is p...
