    Flange material ASTM A694 F65 can be used for 1500 rating?

    Hi RIJOANTONY, ASTM A694 F65 can be used for 1500 rating. In Oil and Gas pipelines (onshore and offshore) this material is widely used even if not specified in B16.5. Manufacturers are familiar with this material/rating. For P/T requirements you can refer to ASME B16.5 Group 1.1 as a...

    Hydrostatic Test

    alanisphoenix, i think you are referring to line pipe hydrotest at pipe mill. In my experience the alternative formula given by API 5L has been used, without considering the limitations of Table 26. But pressures were lower than yours. 31.75mm of WT in any case means very high desing...

    Corrosion allowance vs. Mill tolerance (whom to add first in calculati

    DNV OS-F101 is an offshore standard, but gives criterium that is valid for all application, i think: Sect. 13 E300: "Calculation of nominal thickness T=(T1+Tcorr)/(1-%Tfab) T1=pressure design thickness Tcorr=corrosion allowance %Tfab=thickness tolerance " That corresponds to method 1.

    Coating - protection for risers

    Just for information. The final selection agreed with consultant: 20 mm of polyurethane mixture.

    CTOA and Charpy testing

    Two articles i have in my files. They cuold be useful.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0d3d5f8b-aa57-49c5-a9ee-2b867c5ac2f0&file=ep_tp_44_02en[1].pdf

    Coating - protection for risers

    Widely used for risers!!! Ok. You confirm my doubts. Moreover I did not have any reference with this system from consultant after my request. In conclusion, i think to stay in my position: >20 mm of polychloroprene. Thanx all.

    Coating - protection for risers

    In fact i have doubts on this solution: 2mm of solid polyurethane tar free. This is the solution proposed to me by our consultant. Design life is 30 years. I'm not an expert on coating material but it sounds me not reliable. I'm pushing for a 20 mm of polychloroprene that is the solution i...

    Coating - protection for risers

    Sorry, i was not clear. 2mm shall give protection against corrosion of steel and shall prevent mechanical damages to the coating: the riser during its life shall not show parts where the steel is exposed. This condition, i think, is necessary in the splash zone. Thanks for support.

    Coating - protection for risers

    Hi, I have to protect a 16" riser. In my experience i encountered risers coated with 20-40 mm of Neoprene or polyurethane mixture. Are there other solutions that give the same performances? In particular could 2mm of solid thermosetting resin (polyurethane) give the required protection against...

    Anticorrosion coating for bends

    OK, In case the application is a system with polyurethane only (solvent-free thermosetting resin, applied by airless spray)is it possible to reach a thickness of 5 mm? Some product data sheets give a max thickness of 3 mm.

    Anticorrosion Coating for bends

    OK BigInch. But I have some doubt about the thickness of coating (5 mm). Data sheet of materials that I encountered in the past gave a maximum thk of 3 mm. Thx for support!

    Anticorrosion coating for bends

    Hi, I have to select an anticorrosion coating for the bends of a 16" offshore pipeline with a design temperature of 35°C. Ambient temperature is 15°C. Design life 50 years. Designer propose a polyurethane coating system (airlees spray applied) with 5 mm of thickness. Wath is the best choice...

    Corrosion Allowance in Splash Zone

    In this case i had two type of clamps in splash zone: 1 with brace welded on the platform leg and 1 clamped on platform leg with neoprene as internal protection coating. The client considered this section of riser not cathodically protected and suggested a corrosion allowance of 5 mm to be...
