Abstract
Statistical analysis of the nucleation and growth of stress-corrosion defects that are detected by in-tube flaw detection allows one to determine the dependence of the development of the stress-corrosion process on the external conditions of the impact on different pipelines. The advantage of this investigative approach is the use of actual defects of pipelines with particular working parameters that operate in certain conditions; the objectivity of the method is determined by the representativeness of the sample of the results, which rests on the database that was obtained by the in-tube flaw detection. This allows one to generalize the long-term experience and impartially analyze the results from the diagnostics of main gas pipelines.
