Annex H"Safety assessment method for straight pressure pipeline with local thinning area" of "Safety assessment for in-service pressure vessels containing defects"(GB/T 19426-2004) is briefly introduced. The maximum allowable hanging (unsupported) length of straight pressure pipeline with a local thinning area (LTA) is then determined by using this assessment method. This is the first time that the assessment method has been applied to the long-distance oil pipeline. As a typical case, we have analyzed a length of straight pressure pipeline with LTA and gave the relationship of maximum allowable unsupported length, operating pressure and the depth of LTA.
