background: welding can produce dangerous fumes containing various metals especially carcinogenic ones. occupational exposure to welding fumes is associated with lung cancer. therefore, welders in gas transmission pipelines are known as a high-risk group. this study was designed to determinate the amounts of metals cr, ni, and cd in breathing zone and urine of welders and to assess the possibil...

BACKGROUND Welding can produce dangerous fumes containing various metals especially carcinogenic ones. Occupational exposure to welding fumes is associated with lung cancer. Therefore, welders in Gas Transmission Pipelines are known as a high-risk group.

exposure to welding gases can cause health adverse effects. risk assessment is a useful tool for good assessment of exposed workers. the purpose of this study was to determine the risk levels for exposed welders to welding gases. welders (n=239) were selected from iranian natural gas transmission pipelines industry from four regions in iran including assaluyeh, omidieh, loshan, and borujen. ozo...

Due to the formation of corrosion products, natural gas liquids and gas hydrates in long distance pipelines, timely and effective pigging operations are necessary to improve the gas transmission efficiency, reduce pressure loss, as well as guarantee the safe operation of gas wells, pipelines and networks. Gas transmission efficiency is a parameter to reflect the working condition and cleanlines...

nowadays, compressible flow transmission pipelines are used in many industrial processes. pipelines in chemical processes, gas turbine power plants, natural gas transmission lines, and high pressure steam transmission pipelines are some industrial examples. therefore, learning the manner of treatment of a transient compressible fluid flow in pipelines with junctions and branches is important. i...

Sharing of common corridors by gas pipelines and overhead power transmission lines is becoming quite common. Voltages can be induced on gas pipelines from power transmission lines in the sections where they share the corridor. This paper reports on a recently completed study on the interaction between gas pipelines and power transmission lines in a utility common corridor in New South Wales, Au...

gas hydrate formation in production and transmission pipelines and consequent plugging of these lines have been a major flow-assurance concern of the oil and gas industry for the last 75 years. gas hydrate formation rate is one of the most important topics related to the kinetics of the process of gas hydrate crystallization. the main purpose of this study is investigating phenomenon of gas hyd...
