The longitudinal seam is welded by double (inside and outside) submerged arc welding. Most expensive but ideal for small diameter, deepwater, or dynamic applications.Ĭurrently up to 24” OD pipe can be fabricated by manufacturers. DSAW or UOE pipe is made by folding a steel panel with “U” press, “O” press, and expansion (to obtain its final OD dimension). Seamless pipe is made by piercing the hot steel rod, without longitudinal welds.
In elastic region, when the load is removed, the pipe tends to go back to its origin. The DNV code defines the yield stress as the stress at which the total strain is 0.5%, corresponding to an elastic strain of approximately 0.2% and a plastic (or residual) strain of 0.3%, as shown in picture below: Yield Stress The yield strength is defined as the tensile stress when 0.5% elongation occurs on the pipe, per API-5L. Grade X-65 means that SMYS (specified minimum yield strength) of the pipe is 65 ksi. Pipes are graded per their tensile properties. (note: IIW = International Institute of Welding) The CE shall not exceed 0.43% of total components, per API-5L, as expressed below: tend to increase the hardness (harder and stronger) but decrease the weldability (less ductile and difficult to weld).
Higher C (carbon) and other alloy elements such as Mn (manganese), Cr (chrome), Mo (molybdenum), V (vanadium), Ni (nickel), Cu (copper), etc.
Carbon equivalent (CE) refers to method of measuring the maximum hardness and weldability of the steel based on chemical composition of the steel. Greater than 0.3%) steel is strong and has a good wear resistance so they are used to make forging, automotive parts, springs, wires, etc. Tensile strength so it is used to make pipes. Low carbon (carbon content less than 0.29%) steel is mild and has a relatively low There are several different pipes used in offshore oil & gas transportation as follows: Conveyed fluid properties (sweet or sour) and temperature.rigid, flexible, or composite, should be determined considering:
