Abstract
Flexible pipe integrity management aims at managing the risks of failures and keeping the pipes in normal operating condition during the service life through risk-consistent inspection, monitoring, repairing and maintenance strategy. The composite construction of unbonded flexible pipes makes the failure modes complex and the way to mitigate the risks of failures becomes an important aspect in the system selection. Flexible pipe integrity management programs with definite methodologies have been established in the industry according to the related JIPs. This Chapter mainly deals with the risk assessment and integrity management of flexible pipes. The failure modes and related mechanisms are summarized. Against these failures, the integrity management strategies in every stage of the flexible pipe industry are introduced. Then the inspection and monitoring technologies are discussed as well as the testing and analysis methods.
