摘要: The total cost of corrosion at Army facilities is a significant percentage of maintenance repair budgets. Corrosion of underground steel pipelines used to transport and distribute natural gas often leads to property and environmental damage, and loss of valuable resources. When corrosion problems occur, facility managers must decide whether to repair or replace pipes. Often these decisions consider only current needs and are made with limited knowledge of the network corrosion status. This report describes MicroGPIPER, a maintenance management system for underground gas distribution networks. MicroGPIPER helps facility managers to determine the corrosion status of a gas piping network and to schedule sections of the network for maintenance and repair. MicroGPIPER considers current and future needs in determining the best maintenance strategy, and stores information concerning the pipe network. The MicroGPIPER system and methods of collecting data for system input are detailed in the MicroGPIPER Implementation Guide (USACERL TR M-91/11). This user's manual explains the operation of the MicroGPIPER software package. Minimum requirements to run MicroGPIPER are: an IBM-compatible personal computer with 640 kilobytes of conventional memory, MS- or PC-DOS, and a fixed disk drive with a 20-megabyte capacity.
