The orifice equation is typically used for calculating intrusion inflow volumes, which does not consider the properties of the porous media surrounding the pipe. An analytical relationship was derived by combining the one-dimensional seepage and the flow through an orifice for predicting the intrusion flow rate for a circular orifice under steady-state conditions. An experiment study was conducted to validate the accuracy of the analytical expression, and the analytical results fitted well with experimental results. Experimental results indicate that the presence of porous media could change the intrusion flow rate and add dependencies on the orifice size and permeability of porous media. The impact of the soil surrounding pipelines should be considered for calculation of intrusion flow rate.
