In recent years, the Russian Federation has paid increased attention to the industrial safety of hazardous production facilities. As a result, in the period 2013 to 2014, amendments were made to the Law on Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities No. 116-FZ of July 21, 1997 and a number of regulatory documents of Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service of Russia (Rostechnadzor) were updated, such as “Safety rules for hazardous production facilities of main lines”, order of Rostechnadzor dated November 6, 2013, No. 520; “Recommendations for registration and storage of documentation confirming the safety of the maximum allowable operating pressure for hazardous production facilities of main lines”, Rostechnadzor order dated June 02, 2014, No. 233; “Rules for industrial safety evaluation”, the order of Rostechnadzor dated November 14, 2013, No. 538.
In operation of main lines in accordance with the requirements of federal legislation and regulatory documents of Rostechnadzor, an equipment health assessment procedure is carried out. One of the basic stages of the equipment health assessment is the rating of the allowable operating pressure (hereinafter referred to as AOP), with the significant amount of calculations. In this case, the data of engineering diagnostics, test results and information from the design, as-built and operational documentation are used.
The article describes the software system functionality developed by the Pipeline Transport Institute and used by Transneft Group to automate calculations, including unified calculation methods and reporting forms; ergonomic, intuitive interface to eliminate errors associated with the "human factor"; means of forming and maintaining a database of bearing capacities and allowable working pressures. Major aspects and suggestions for further development and improvement of the software package are considered.
