Corrosion has made petrochemical infrastructure becomes a significant hazard of the surrounding environment. It is an excellent approach to reduce the risk of environmental pollution by improving the accuracy of determining the leakage probability of the equipment system. In this work, a reliability-based methodology was proposed to assess the system leakage probability with multiple pipe segments under the common cause failure (CCF). Specifically, the existence of FD between the pipe segments was examined under the CCF so that a system leakage assessment model was developed considering the FD. Thereby a novelty corrosion-induced leakage risk management framework was developed. After leakage evaluation for an oil pipeline, it was found that the results obtained were too conservative if ignoring FD, which will develop a wasteful maintenance plan. Overall, the findings in this work may be an opportunity for managers to improve maintenance efficiency.
