Joint Efficiency Factor for 46 year old oil pipeline
(OP)
Hi all,
To derate the 46 year old pipeline, what joint efficiency factor to be used ( any refence) or not to reduce the factor and calculate based on wall thickness.
Thanks

its oil tarnsfer pipeline, material is CS (carbon steel) specification "API 5L GrB". due corrosion we would like to derate it for future use.the remaining thickness is 0.13 inches. is this ok if i use 0.9 or .85 joint efficiency factor in Barlow's equation for the safe operation conditions (extra safety factor), please advise me.
Thanks
