ABSTRACT

The automation of determining the damage and residual resources of pipeline materials, in particular, heat and water supply pipelines is discussed. The results of research are presented, which made it possible to propose a universal nomogram for determining the residual resource of pipeline elements based on known damage. An experimentally verified method for determining the damage to pipeline metal with different operating hours using various instrumental methods is also proposed. A program has been developed that allows automated damage assessment using up to ten different evaluation methods and, based on its calculations, assessment of the residual resource. It is shown how the developed tools can be used in the actual control of pipeline system components.

KEYWORDS

damage, residual resource, instrumental methods, automation, program.
