The Pipeline Defect Assessment Manual (PDAM) project is a joint industry project sponsored by fifteen international oil and gas companies, to produce a document specifying the best methods for assessing defects in pipelines. PDAM documents the best available techniques currently available for the assessment of pipeline defects (such as corrosion, dents, gouges, weld defects, etc.) in a simple and easy-to-use manual, and gives guidance in their use. In this paper the best practices for the assessment of corrosion in pipelines are presented. Full scale tests, theoretical analyses and assessment methods are also discussed, and the ‘best’ methods included in PDAM are described.
