A comprehensive reliability based formulation is proposed for the assessment of the integrity of corroded pipelines. In this formulation, the inspection technique, the pipeline geometric, material, and operational characteristics, and Limit State model for burst are combined in a general approach. This approach is illustrated with application to evaluation of an in-service gas pipeline.
