The technological process of seamless pipes production, has many stages. Each stage significantly affects the accuracy of the geometric dimensions of the pipes. One of the main parameters characterizing the accuracy of the pipes is their transverse difference namely the size and the nature of the distribution of the pipe wall thickness in the cross section. Different pipe wall thickness makes it difficult to get quality pipe screw-thread.The use of statistical data processing methods makes it possible to predict the seamless pipe difference indicator. A statistical analysis of the wall thickness indicator of the end sections showed a high ratio of wall thickness symmetry. An effective way to minimize the symmetric difference component is to optimize the deformation modes along the pipe wall.

Girth Welds

Ultrasonic phased arrays present major improvements over conventional multiprobe ultrasonics for inspecting pipeline girth welds, both for onshore and for offshore use. Probe pans are lighter and smaller, permitting less cutback; scans are quicker due to the smaller probe pan; phased arrays are considerably more flexible for changes in pipe dimensions or weld profiles, and for different scan patterns. More important, some of the potential advantages of phased arrays are now becoming commercially available. These include: • Compensating for variations in seamless pipe wall thickness. • Wedge temperature compensation. • Improved focusing for thick and thin wall inspections. • Premium inspections for risers, tendons and other components. • Small diameter pipes. • Multiple displays. • Clad pipe. The paper describes the latest phased array UT results for special applications.

Quantitative Indicators

Pipe-rolling units with an automatic mill are a aggregate production complex that produces hot-rolled pipes of various sizes. The technological process of seamless pipes production, has many stages: flashing the billet into a sleeve, longitudinal rolling in gauge, running in a oblique rolling mill, calibrating and reducing the diameter. Each stage significantly affects the accuracy of the geometric dimensions of the pipes. One of the main parameters characterizing the accuracy of the pipes is their transverse difference namely the size and the nature of the distribution of the pipe wall thickness in the cross section. A significant reserve for saving metal is increasing the accuracy of seamless pipes to avoid different pipe wall thickness. Different pipe wall thickness makes it difficult to get quality pipe screw-thread.The conditions of metal deformation at an injection molding machine with an automatic machine do not exclude the presence of fluctuation of the pipe wall thickness. The best characteristic of the accuracy of finished pipes will be the knowledge of quantitative indicators of the transverse difference of their end sections. The purpose of this work is to determine the variation in wall thickness of hot-rolled casing by means of mathematical statistics methods.The use of statistical data processing methods makes it possible to predict the seamless pipe difference indicator. A statistical analysis of the wall thickness indicator of the end sections showed a high ratio of wall thickness symmetry. An effective way to minimize the symmetric difference component is to optimize the deformation modes along the pipe wall. In this case, a graphical analysis of the distribution of wall thickness showed that the actual difference varies in stochastic dependence. To clarify the general form of the random periodic component of such a dependence, it is advisable to apply methods of harmonic analysis, which will allow us to develop a mathematical model for determining the accuracy of pipes.

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.

Important Test

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.

Computational Analyses

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.
