Many engineers are inclined to not trust models; this is particularly true in the field of corrosion. Suspicion comes from modeled results which are inconsistent with field data. The difference between modeled results and the real world has three reasons. First no model is accurate in all situations. Second the input data used to run the models is never exact. And third the operator's knowledge of the system is often missing. In order to increase confidence and reduce the gap between modeled results and field data it is necessary to address all three sources of uncertainties.A solution is proposed: (1) never trust one model only run multiple models (2) run the models multiple times for all possible input parameters (Monte Carlo method) and (3) combine the output of different models as well as the operator's knowledge in a graphical interface (Bayesian network). The results of the multiple simulations are not numbers but a function of all the possible outcomes predicted by the models.This paper presents a Bayesian networks created to assess the probability of pipeline failure due to internal corrosion. The model created quantifies likelihood (and uncertainty) of pipeline failure as well as all causative factors. For a pipeline operator is necessary to reduce both the uncertainty and the likelihood itself. The uncertainty is reduced by gathering data and the likelihood is reduced by mitigation. Therefore results of the Bayesian networks can be used both to prioritize inspections (reduce uncertainty) and prioritize mitigation (reduce likelihood of failure). Results of a blind-test of the model performed in collaboration with Kuwait Oil Company are also presented.Key words: Bayesian network internal corrosion direct risk assessment uncertainty prioritization

Bayesian networks (BN) are useful tools for corrosion modeling. This paper is a case study demonstrating how to perform Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA) using BN modeling with limited data.  A BN model was developed for ICDA of a 50 km refined oil pipeline.  Internal corrosion probability of failure along the pipeline was assessed.
