Abstract: Determining the failure pressure of defective pipelines is an important part in pipeline reliability engineering, which affects the assessment of pipelines residual service life. In this work, a fast and accurate method for predicting the failure pressure of defective pipelines using the deep learning model is developed. The calculation results of ASME-B31GM, DNV, PCORRC codes and finite element method (FEM) are compared and analyzed in detail to obtain high-quality sample data. 150 groups of validated FEM simulation data and 142 groups of burst pressure test data are selected for the training and validation of deep learning model. In the training process, influences of key model parameters of deep neural network (DNN) on the prediction accuracy are investigated. Prediction results indicate that the used deep learning model can offer high prediction accuracy. In addition, the calculation of deep learning model is accelerated by at least two orders of magnitude compared with that of FEM simulations under same calculation conditions. Finally, the influence of defect sizes on pipeline failure pressure is analyzed by the DNN. This work is expected to shed a light on efficient and accurate predictions of failure pressure of oil and gas defective pipelines.
