Objectif
Steel and gas companies are showing an increasing interest in ultra high steel plates and pipes in the conceptual design of long distance gas pipelines. The project will examine problems of building a new pipeline with special emphasis on the issues of girth weld defect tolerance and the fracture propagation behaviour in high-pressure natural gas. The primary objective of the project is to define the realistic in-service behaviour of API X100 pipelines through the construction and testing of experimental pipelines. The obtained results could be used by gas companies to better define the suitable technical solutions with respect to safety/environmental and cost/effectiveness aspects for the assessment for more economic pipelines.
