Six polymeric coatings viz. 3LPE, 3p/2p CAT, PU, VE, LE and HSS have been selected each type of coating has applied separately on SS316L pipe external surface. The test samples subjected to adhesion tests by the peel strength pull-off methods, before after Hot Water Immersion (HWI) for 100 days. After completing test, values are found about 10.9, 1.8, 0.35, 6.8 N/mm respectively, whereas 10.77,...

Nowadays, the stress analysis mostly aimed at general buried pipelines. And few of the gas pipelines in tunnel (especially under the seismic action) were analyzed. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the stress distribution of gas pipeline under seismic action in tunnel. In this paper, CEASAR II software was used to establish the stress model of China-Myanmar XX tunnel pipeline under seismic ...

Free spans or suspended spans normally occur in subsea pipelines due to the irregularity of seabed and byscouring phenomena around the installed non-buried pipeline. The hydrodynamic around the pipeline canlead to a vibration of the pipeline.This kind of vibration may cause fatigue damage to the pipeline. In orderto study the hydrodynamic around the pipeline, calculating the natural frequency o...

Response analysis of the buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement is very important for design, detection and protection of buried pipelines. This paper looks at the buckling behavior of a buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement in the rock stratum. Effects of internal pressure, wall thickness, fault displacement and burial depth on the buckling mode and the axial...

High-temperature pressure pipelines are extensively used in petrochemical plant and power stations. Severe pits or wall loss defects can be internally produced after a certain period of time due to media corrosion and cavitation erosion. These defects finally lead to leakage of the pipes. In order to search for a good non-destructive method for these defects, a large pipe testing installation w...
