The features of corrosion in different pipe segments are statistically correlated; thus, a failure in one section may impact the adjacent sections. Herein, using a correlation distance parameter, such statistical correlation is described considering the length-scale effects. The reliability of the corroded pipeline is presented in the form of a failure probability. The results show that analysing a corroded pipeline by considering length-scale effects produces a higher failure probability compared with the case where such effects are excluded, even when the parameters that govern corrosion in a pipeline are included in the analysis. © Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Malaysia. date: 2018 publisher: Universiti Malaysia Pahang official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85055901685&doi=10.15282%2fijame.15.3.2018.16.0431&partnerID=40&md5=8e09ec554ef8c83b07c2b27ffbf1a1e8 id_number: 10.15282/ijame.15.3.2018.16.0431 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering volume: 15 number: 3 pagerange: 5607-5624 refereed: TRUE issn: 22298649 citation: Mustaffa, Z. and Gelder, P.V. and Dawotola, A.W. and Yu, S.Y. and Kim, D.K.
