Pressure vessels are crucial components in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. These vessels are designed to store, transport, or process pressurized fluids, gases, or other substances. As pressure vessels are subject to high stress and fatigue loads, they require regular inspection and monitoring to ensure their structural integrity and prevent catastrophic failure. In this blog, we will discuss structural health monitoring (SHM) in pressure vessels, including its benefits, techniques, and challenges.

Metal structural pipeline components and other infrastructure deteriorate over their service life due to static and cyclic loading, exposure to corrosive chemicals, and harsh environments. The result is progressive weakening of the structural
elements due to corrosion, section loss and cracking.  All structures exposed to cyclic loading are susceptible to deterioration, and incidents at oil and gas pipelines in the United States resulted in 339.72 million U.S. dollars of reported total costs in 2020.

The use of non‐metallic composite pipes is increasing due to light weight and anti‐corrosion/durability related advantages.  However, NDE testing methods for non-metallics can be limited, and like metallic structures, most NDE monitoring methods involve physical inspections- which can be labor-intensive and dangerous.  Specific failure modes in non-metallic pipelines to be monitored in these applications are as follows:

Pipeline distribution for Oil & Gas is considered to be a “performance critical” market, component failures can be catastrophic to the environment, hazardous to human health, and costly due to both repair and financial losses. In the O&G industry during 2020 alone, there were 578 reported incidents in pipeline distribution that resulted in 43 injuries and 15 fatalities, as well as a total cost of $339.7M.
