Deterioration prediction of metallic components of a Pressure Regulatory Station by implementing the Markov chain method. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.33, pp.200-206.

A Pressure Reducing Station (ERP) serves to control the service pressure and ensure the correct operation of aqueduct networks in a given sector. In the ERPs, structure, the steel pipes and fittings are exposed to corrosion and therefore to faster deterioration. That is why, based on current conditions, a method was proposed to predict this deterioration, and achieve a better maintenance management and rehabilitation of these elements.

Keywords : Probability; Deterioration; Corrosion; Water distribution; Maintenance.
