The objective of this project was to review the state-of-the-art with respect to high pressure pipelines and to evaluate the technical feasibility of high pressure designs for new construction of onshore pipelines. The study includes a review of…
Most pipelines in Class 1 areas are currently designed to a utilization factor of 0.72 using steel grades of up to X70. Using higher strength steels and/or a higher design factor can reduce the wall thickness and construction cost of such pipelines.…
Current practices in the pipeline industry require increased use of high pressure pipe and pipe fittings to meet expanding natural gas transportation requirements. A study of the current practices in the design and manufacture of pipe and pipe…
