Objective
The aim of this RFCS proposal is to promote the knowledge gained in ECSC-funded projects carried out during the past five years. It is aimed at demonstrating the safe use of X100 grade steel large diameter pipes for possible use in long-distance, on-shore gas transmission pipelines, in order to increase the European Market share in this specific, world-wide business.
To achieve this general aim, the specific goals of the present proposal are as follows:
- to select, collect, analyse and disseminate the technical information gained both in ECSC past projects, and available world-wide, with regard to the behaviour of large diameter X100 grade steel pipes for long distance, on-shore gas transmission pipelines, with respect to the major technical issues (in-field welding, defect tolerance, cold bending, etc) Dissemination would be achieved through the organization of a devoted Web Site, a selected International Working Group, and two International seminars open to both specialists and academics;
- to come to an agreement about a common proposal, based on the background information referred to above, for submission to the relevant international regulatory bodies about the incorporation into the international standards of X100 grade steel pipes for long-distance, on-shore high-pressure gas transmission pipelines.
