Risk Assessment of Steam Pipelines in Industrial Areas

A framework is presented to evaluate external risk from steam pipelines. Though water is not labeled as such, it can be a dangerous substance. The standard QRA approach, scenario definition followed by calculation of effects, damage and risk is also well suited for steam pipelines. However some mode...
