Abstract-Pipeline is a long line of connected segments of pipe,
with pumps, valves, control devices, and other equipment /
facilities needed for operating the system. Pipelines are the most
economical usage conveying the fluid substances on mass scale to
larger distances. Transportation of products by pipeline is a risk
because there is some probability of the pipeline failing, releasing
its contents. This research is based on Analytical Hierarchy
Process (AHP) to determine the probability of pipeline failure
and analyze the sensitivity analysis of risk failure. To perform
the AHP approach, pipelines located at Kertih West Malaysia
have been chosen as case study.
I.
INTRODUCTION
Historically pipelines are being used for 3000 years.
Bamboo tubes were used by the Chinese to carry natural gas
circa 1000 BC, and over 1000 years ago wooden pipes were
built by the men folk of Iraq to transport river water to their
villages (Hopkins, 2000).
The term pipe is defined as a closed conduit, usually of
circular cross section. It can be made of any appropriate
material such as steel or plastic (Guo, 2005). The term
pipeline refers to a long line of connected segments of pipe,
with pumps, valves, control devices, and other
equipment/facilities needed for operating the system. It is
intended for transporting a fluid (liquid or gas), mixture of
fluids, solids, fluids-solid mixture. Pipeline system is an
interconnected system of submarine pipelines, their risers,
supports, isolation valves, all integrated piping components,
associated safety systems and the corrosion protection system
(DNV, 2003).
II. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
The main objectives of this research are:
• To identify the greatest probability of failure of pipeline
network system by applying the efficient analytical
approach.
• To determined sensitivity analysis of pipeline risk
failure
III. LITERATURE REVIEW
Transporting a large quantities of fluid (liquid or gas), a
pipeline is undisputedly the most favored mode of
transportation. Even for solids, at many instances the pipeline
is a favorable option over the other modes of transportation.
The advantages of pipelines are (Liu, 2003):
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Economical in many circumstances
Low energy consumptions
Friendly to environment
Safe for humans
Unaffected by weather
High degree of automation
High reliability
Less sensitive to inflation
Convenience
Less susceptible to theft
Efficient land use
High degree of security
Even though pipelines are generally known to be a safe way
of transporting their failure can be very catastrophic. A series
of recent major industrial accidents have once again
highlighted the need for better management of routine and
accidental risks (DOT, 2004). Risk is most commonly defined
as the probability of an event that causes a loss and the
potential magnitude of that loss.
Definition of probability of failure is “degree of belief”
regarding the probability of an event occurring in a specified
future period. Probability is most often expressed as a decimal
≤ 1.0 or a percentage ≤ 100%. Historical data, usually in the
form of summary statistics, often partially establishes our
degree of belief about future events. Such data is not however,
the only source of our probability estimates (Mulhbauer,
2006).
Probability may be estimated using statistical analysis and
calculations. Where no reliable or relevant past data is
available, subjective estimates may be made which reflect an
individuals or groups degree of belief that a particular event or
outcome will occur. The most pertinent information sources
and techniques should be used when analyzing probability and
consequences.
Sources of information may include the following (SAI, 2005):
•
Past records.
•
Practice and relevant experience.
•
Relevant published literature.
•
Market research.
• The results of public consultation.
• Experiments and prototypes.
• Economic, engineering or other models.
• Specialist and expert judgments

Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an approach to
decision making that involves structuring multiple choice
criteria into a hierarchy, assessing the relative importance of
these criteria, comparing alternatives for each criterion, and
determining an overall ranking of the alternatives (Knott,
2006).
By organizing and assessing alternatives against a hierarchy
of multifaceted objectives, AHP provides a proven, effective
means to deal with complex decision making. Indeed, AHP
allows a better, easier, and more efficient identification of
selection criteria, their weighting and analysis.
AHP is very useful when the decision-making process is
complex, for instance, by being unstructured. Indeed, when the
decision cycle involves taking into account a variety of
multiple criteria that rating is based on a multiple-value choice,
AHP splits the overall problem to be solve of into as many
evaluations of lesser importance, while keeping at the same
time their part in the global decision (Tanino et al., 2003).
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is completed with
sensitivity analysis to reanalyze the result of decision.
Sensitivity analysis may investigate how sensitive the rankings
of the alternatives are to changes in the importance of the
criteria. Sensitivity analysis from the Goal node will show the
sensitivity of the alternatives with respect to the criteria below
the goal.
Sensitivity analysis can show how the different weight
assigned to each criterion could affect the outcomes of the
model (Saaty, 1988). There are five modes for graphical
sensitivity analysis:
• Difference Graph :
The differences graph shows the differences between the
priorities of the alternatives taken two at a time for all of the
criteria.
IV. METHODOLOGY
The methodology to carry out this analytical research is
demonstrated in the following flowchart (Fig.1).
Comprehensive list of factors that can cause pipeline failure
were obtained from literature Liu (2003), Muhlbauer (2006)
and Dey (2004). And the lists need to be reviewed by pipeline
engineers in order to identify the probability of pipeline
failure.

Methods
Data Collecting
• Performance :
The criteria are represented by vertical bars, and the
alternatives are displayed as horizontal line graphs. The
intersection of the alternative line graphs with the vertical
criterion lines shows the priority of the alternative for the
given criterion.
• Dynamic :
The dynamic sensitivity analysis is a horizontal bar graph
that can use to increase or decrease the priority of any
criterion and see the change in the priorities of the
alternatives.
• Gradient :
The gradient sensitivity analysis assigns each criterion a
separate gradient graph. The vertical line represents the
current priority of the selected criterion. The slanted lines
represent the alternatives. The current priority of an
alternative is where the alternative line intersects the vertical
criterion line.
• Two-dimensional :
The two-dimensional plot sensitivity shows how well the
alternatives perform with respect to any two criteria.

To carry out the performance sensitivity analysis, it is
required some scenario to be applied to find the alternatives by
increasing or decreasing the priorities. Sensitivity analysis was
applied to the Internal Corrosion which has the highest weight
of 41.7% with respect to the goal. These were four scenario

The result in table 3 was obtained from the pipeline
engineers. Pipeline engineers express the judgments into
numerical values on a scale of 1 to 9 (Saaty, 1988). Elements
at each level of hierarchy are compares with each other in pairs
with their respective “parents” at the next higher level. As an
example, the pair wise comparison values of the major
categories of failure are shown at table 3.

The results of the pair wise comparison at the sub factors are
the probable causes attributed to the main factors, for example
41.7% probability of failure due to internal corrosion is caused
by 27.8% due to fluid composition and only 13.9% probability
of failure is contributed by improper chemical treatment of
fluid which means that the internal corrosion which is resulted
in the pipe wall loss or damage that is caused by reaction
between the inside wall of pipe and the product being
transported which depends on fluid composition.
The author would like to thankful to main supervisor AP Dr
Nasir Shafiq and co supervisor Dr Asif Shadiq for guidance as
well as Dr Mohd Faris Khamidi and also to all the pipeline
engineers for participating as respondents of this research.

To carry out the performance sensitivity analysis, it is
required some scenario to be applied to find the alternatives by
increasing or decreasing the priorities. Sensitivity analysis was
applied to the Internal Corrosion which has the highest weight
of 41.7% with respect to the goal. These were four scenario
used to find the priority changes which were 5%, -10%, 5%
and 10%. Figure 2 show the sensitivity of how many changes
that can occur.

VI. CONCLUSION
The main objectives of this paper were to determine the
greatest probability of failure that involved in pipeline failure.
Following conclusions were shown below:
1. Based on the analysis Internal Corrosion would be the
major factor involved in probability of pipeline failure.
2. The result of sensitivity analysis shows that the changes
occur is less than 10%.
