The experiments were conducted to gain information on the gas decompression behavior under different operating conditions. In order to gain this information the experiments required a high pressure gas pipeline to be depressurized through an open end…
The report examines how decompression velocities are determined and indicates the general theory and assumption used. It also presents experimental data relating to special cases of decompression, both single phase and two-phase, that are of interest…
This report contains the results of 43 shock tube tests simulating pipeline rupture using an NPS 2 (DN50) shock tube with a rupture disc. These tests were conducted on pure CO2, binaries with N2, O2, CO, CH4 and H2, as well as for compositions…
EPCRC (Energy Pipeline Cooperative Research Centre in Australia) has developed a software package called EPDECOM to calculate the decompression wave speed of carbon dioxide mixtures containing impurities. The present report summarizes findings from…
The Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. found that Scandpower has software that is capable of predicting the transient response of a pipeline segment transporting either conventional or enriched dense phase natural gas mixtures when…
The ability to predict the behavior of a crack propagating in a steel natural gas transmission pipeline is of great importance. This is because a long-running fracture is costly, both in terms of the time taken for replacement, and associated lost…
