This training slide deck (PowerPoint) introduces the PRCI Pipeline Repair Manual 2021 Edition and addresses the majority of substantive changes in this edition, organized by document section/appendix.
This report presents a number of newly added features to the OBS software relevant to the dynamic simulation of pipelines. The additions include a function to extract on-bottom wave induced velocities and hydrodynamic forces on a given length of…
In an effort to enhance understanding of underground hydrogen storage (UHS), Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. ("PRCI") contracted C-FER Technologies (1999) Inc. to perform an engineering assessment and literature review. The overall goal…
This report summarizes the outcomes of the second year of PRCI ECA-1-1. Concretely, specific methodologies developed to improve the NDE-FEA framework have been discussed (as elaborated in T2.3: "Evaluation and improvement of 3D NDE - FEA…
Based on the investigation of the recent pipe failures, it was clear that HAZ softening was one of the contributing factors. To understand the factors that influence the susceptibility to HAZ softening, a simple weld bead-on-plate testing procedure…
Being able to estimate the tensile strain capacity (TSC) of vintage girth welds is sometimes necessary in the integrity management of vintage pipelines. For instance, assessing the girth weld integrity could be a top priority after a confirmed…
The objective of the PRCI MATR-3-11 Composite Repair Load Transfer Study was to evaluate the effect of internal pipe pressure during installation of composite reinforcement systems. Historically, there has been little work evaluating the effect of…
In March 2020, the Executive Assembly of PRCI approved Crack Management (CM) as a Strategic Research Priority (SRP). To help refine the scope of PRCI's crack-related research over the next few years, the MAT-8-3 project team of the Design, Materials,…
FAST Pipe is a new pipeline technology that was developed by ConocoPhillips Company (ConocoPhillips). It has been proposed as an alternative to high strength steel (grade X80 or higher) for high pressure gas transmission pipelines. FAST Pipe is…
