The change in the intensity of the deformation of the pipe wall during profiling by drawing was studied. The dependence of the strain intensity on the wall thickness of the workpiece is obtained to predict the processing results in the production of shaped pipes with desired properties. Keywords drawing, profile pipe, wall thickness, strain rate. [email protected]

While the exercise of pressurizing a piping system and checking for leaks is sometimes called pressure testing, the Code refers to it as leak testing. The main purpose of the test is to demonstrate that the piping can confine fluid without leaking. When the piping is leak tested at pressures above the design pressure, the test also demonstrates that the piping is strong enough to withstand the pressure. For large bore piping where the pipe wall thickness is close to the minimum required by the Code, being strong enough to withstand the pressure is an important test. For small bore piping that typically has a significant amount of extra pipe wall thickness, being strong enough is not in question. Making sure that the piping is leak free is important for all piping systems.

This paper presents ductile initiation calculations and growth simulations of a surface crack up to pipe wall breakthrough. For validation purpose, one of the two BIMET configurations is selected. The EC program BIMET has been carried out to analyze the ductile tearing behavior of DMWs through experiments and computational analyses. In the mock-up, the initial defect is an external circumferential defect located close to the weld-ferritic interface, with a depth of one third of the wall thickness. During the test, the crack extended up to two third of the pipe wall thickness. The aim of the study is to simulate the crack initiation and growth, to compare the results with the experimental records and to continue the ductile crack growth up to pipe wall break-through.

In order to study the impact of the measured defects on the structure and properties of steel tubular scaffold, the stochastic finite element theory is used to study the different effects of different defect structure.To accord to the random sampling method, Nine five projects under construction fasteners scaffolding works pipe is measured.In the the live 6m and 3m φ48 × 3.5 specifications 748 pipe wall thickness, diameter, initial bending raw data is random sampling tests. Article establish a structure commonly used rod defects random distribution of pipe wall thickness, diameter and initial bending deviation and the parametric statistical information,through the use of the probability statistical theory and methods,excluding abnormal data. The article explores and studies fasteners scaffolding structure in different fastener tightening torque (30N • m, 40N • m, 50N • m), ideal initial geometric imperfections 3L/1000, and the measured rod defects and defectof the structure carrying capacity and impact analysis, by means of analysis software, the use of the consistent defects modal method and random defects modal method. The results of the analysis show that the pole bending defects affect the carrying capacity of steel scaffolding structure defects . Measured defects affect the steel scaffolding structure, leading to serious security risks. It is necessary to strengthen the control rod defects. The results provide reliable information for the design and construction units.

We have developed a method of estimating the aspect ratio of a pipe wall thickness to diameter (t/d) using a hollow cylindrical guided wave (HCGW). The HCGW is an ultrasonic guided wave in a pipe. The method is very useful for onsite and nondestructive estimation of pipe wall thickness. It is based on the change of the dispersion relation of the HCGW as a function of t/d. The group velocity of the primary wave (first arriving wave packet from an impulse source) of the HCGW ranges from the bar velocity to the sheet velocity as a function of t/d. The bar velocity is the velocity of the DC component of the guided wave propagating in a solid cylinder; the sheet velocity is that of the S0 mode Lamb wave. The first part of the paper describes the principle of the method. In the last part, a laser ultrasonic method was employed to verify the method in both time- and time-frequency domains. The experimental results for aluminum pipes with various t/d’s were in good agreement with the theory.
