Is it possible to force Excel to plot graphs with the same scale in both X and Y axis. In my case i am plotting the result af a catenary equation and both the X and Y axis represent linear distance. i would like to plot a true representation of this so that one metre is equally scaled for both...
If you want to see what has previously been published a good place to check would be OTC publications www.otcnet.org
I know work has been done on all the aspects you are talking about. Exactly how much is published I do not know.
Try contacting Wellstream, they may be interested in sponsoring...
Best to avoid this type of situation if at all possible. Is there no other emergency abandonment procedure that could be adopted.
My initial aproach would be to used Orcaflex, or Flexcom 3D, which are both dynamic analysis programs and can both model pipeline laying and clashing between...
This is a site that I have found very good.
Once you have completed your details it will forward to you all the jobs that it thinks suits you, as and when they come up.

What is a typical allowable water velocity used for sizing a rigid flowline (API 5L Line pipe)? The flowline is to be used for water injection, the fluid is process water, which should have been cleaned of most of the nasties.
Second question, I have a typical absolute roughness of 0.15mm for...

You need to look at the configuration of the pipe.
As I understand it you have a flexible rubber hose from a floating vessel to the seabed. The hose is used for suction, probably a form of dredging application sucking sand or silt from a sea or river bed into a hopper type vessel for removal...
Typical bolting used for the making up of subsea flanges are "stud bolts according to ASTM A 193 high temp type B7" often with a PTFE coating. The flange will be corrosion protected generally by anodes on the structure to which is connect or you can add anodes to the metal work...
If you leave gaps between your reinforcing tapes, you will find that the tube will simply burst between the tapes. You have to look at the ability of the tube material to be able to support the pressure across this gap.
If you are to reinforce the tube I would recommend that the tube is fully...
It is to a degree dependent on pipe material and productin methods. For steel line pipe I use an absolute roughness of 0.15mm, for plastic pipe I use a value of 0.0015mm and for flexible pipe with an internal carcass a value of ID(mm)/250
If you wish to quatify the level of cross linking then you need to perform a gel contnet test. This basically involves boiling a sample of the polymer in xylene and see what percentage of the material remains undissolved
I'm sorry that is not one I've come accross before. The one that I have seen simplifies down to being a relationship between the geometry of the pipe (height of undulations, pitch length of undulations and bore) and the velocity. As I said this is particularly for corugated pipe, which I do not...
This is a complex issue, I've recently been involoved with this problem with a flexible pipe, which has a corrugated steel lining, that was conveying gas. After a certain velocity the pipe begins to hum, as the gas flow boundary layer become unstable.
This is not a problem for the flexible pipe...
Another issue is that if the gas is to be exported through a flexible pipe line then dry gas can be transported at higher temperatures than wet gas. this is due to the fact that most offshore flexible lines have a PA11 barrier which suffers from hydrolosis problems (goes hard and brittle) at...
