One of the important challenges with current sanitation practices is pipe blockage in urinals caused by urine scale formation. Urinal material and flushing water type are the two most important factors affecting scale formation. This paper examines the scale formation process on different materials which are commonly used in urinal manufacturing and exposed to different urine-based aqua cultures. This study shows that urine scale formation is the greatest for carbon steel material, and the least for PVC. Additionally, material exposure to the urine-rainwater mixture resulted in the smallest amount of scale formation. Based on these results, two new methods for improving sanitation practices are proposed: (1) using PVC as production material for urinals and pipelines; and (2) using rainwater for flushing systems.

In the paper, the relationship between the grain size and fatigue life are studied. To specify the initial and short crack propagation life of low carbon steel material, three methods are used in the simulation. At first, the K. Tanaka’s model is introduced to calculate the fatigue life of a grain. Then, the Voronoi Diagram is used to generate the microstructure of grains. At last, a criteria to specify the short crack is proposed. Based on these methods, the numerical simulation is conducted. With the help of the process, the grain sizes are generated randomly in order to specify how grain sizes effect fatigue life. The computational results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The results show that the randomness of fatigue life is closely related to the randomness of grain sizes.

Abstract Corrosion and subsequent failures is one of the main factors affecting uninterrupted operations of Oil & Gas Industries. Pipelines are considered as most convenient means of crude and gas transportation in Oil & Gas Industry. Buried pipelines generally made of low carbon steel material are protected externally by coating and applying impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP). Monitoring and maintaining adequate level of Cathodic Protection (CP) for such pipelines remains challenging for corrosion engineers due to increased level of field congestion, complexity in accurate current mapping and mitigation of corrosion phenomena. Failure of pipelines due to corrosion can be catastrophic with following consequences: Loss of containment fluid and thereby probable fatalityDamage to asset/company reputationSafety and Environment (Fire, Toxic gases and Oil Spill)Resource and downtime cost impact Isolation joints IJ's are designed with very high insulating material at mating areas and installed on pipelines by welding to avoid loss of Cathodic Protection (CP) current. Due to high electrical insulation, a potential difference is formed across of IJ's due to applied CP current and stray currents. In upstream Oil & Gas Industry, multiphase crude transported via pipeline will have certain percentage of water and will induce an internal conductive path across the IJs resulting in ionic current discharge at anodic areas within internal surface. This study focuses on factors contributing to such internal stray current corrosion, limitation in monitoring methodology and mitigation programs. The study concludes with recommendations such as design modifications, improvement in internal lining properties and improved installation guidelines. The study practically illustrates effectiveness of combined resistive bonding and zinc earthing cells installation for controlling stray current propagation in order to reduce the corrosion rate so as to maintain Integrity of pipelines.

In order to study the pressure carrying capacity of X80 pipe with plain dents, the formation process and the hydraulic test were analyzed by finite element simulation. Based on this, the sensitivity analysis of the factors affecting the pressure carrying capacity of the pipeline, such as the internal pressure, the confinement state and the material performance, is carried out. Research results show that springback amount of the pipeline decreases due to the initial internal pressure, and constraint state has little effect on the pressure carrying capacity while increases with the increasing of the material tensile properties. When the depth of the dent is less than 6% pipe diameter or the strain of the dent is less than 6%, the dent has little impact to the pressure carrying capacity of the pipe.

Isothermal tensile test of medium carbon steel material was conducted on a computer controlled servo-hydraulic testing machine at the deformation temperatures (923 to 1223 K) and the strain rates (0.05 to 1.0 s-1). Using the experimental data, the artificial neural network (ANN) model with a back-propagation (BP) algorithm was proposed to predict the hot deformation behavior of medium carbon steel material. For the model training and testing purpose, deformation temperature, strain rate and strain data were considered as inputs and in addition, the flow stress data were used a targets. Before running the neural network, the test data were normalized to effectively run the problem and after solving the problem, the obtained results were again converted in order to achieve the actual data. According to the predicted results, the coefficient of determination (R2) and the average absolute relative error between the predicted flow stress and the experimental data were determined as 0.997 and 0.913%, respectively. In addition, by evaluating each test conditions, it was found that the average absolute relative error based on an ANN model varied from 0.55% to 1.36% and moreover, the results showed the better predictability compared with the measured data. Overall, the trained BP-ANN model is found to be much more efficient and accurate by means of flow stress prediction with respect to the experimental data for an entire tested conditions.

Beban gesek pada permukaan sebuah benda dapat menimbulkan panas pada permukaan kontak benda tersebut. Semakin besar beban gesek yang terjadi, suhu pada permukaan material akan menjadi lebih tinggi. Peningkatan suhu permukaan yang semakin tinggi dapat mempengaruhi sifat mekanis permukaan material dan tentunya dapat berimplikasi terhadap mekanisme kegagalan pada permukaan material tersebut, seperti kegagalan aus dan kegagalan retak. Pada penelitian ini, uji kekerasan dilakukan pada material dengan suhu permukaan tertentu. Permukaan material baja karbon sedang dipanaskan dengan variasi suhu yaitu mulai dari suhu kamar sampai dengan 300ºC, kemudian dilakukan uji Vicker’s. Tingkat kekerasan dan profil indentasi Vickers pada permukaan material dengan variasi suhu tersebut kemudian diinvestigasi. Friction load on the surface of an object can cause heat on the contact surface of the object. The larger the frictional load occurs, the temperature on the surface of the material will become higher. Increased surface temperatures can further affect the mechanical properties of the material surface and can certainly have implications for the failure mechanisms on the surface of the material, such as wear failure and crack failure. In this study, hardness tests were performed on materials with certain surface temperature. The surface of the carbon steel material is being heated with temperature variations ranging from room temperature up to 300ºC, then Vicker's test. The degree of hardness and Vickers indent profile on the surface of the material with the temperature variation is then investigated.

ABSTRACTIn-situ coupled multielectrode array sensors were used to measure the non-uniform corrosion of carbon steel and stainless steel materials under KCl salt deposit in simulated dry repository environments. It was found that the initiation of non-uniform corrosion occurs at a relative humidity that is 14% lower than the deliquescence relative humidity of the chloride salt. It was found also that once significant corrosion had occurred, the non-uniform corrosion process for the carbon steel material under the salt deposit continues at relative humidities as low as 27%.
