摘要:
A method for constructing a tubular connection assembly includes forming a first tubular having a first inner diameter, a first wall thickness, and a first connection end, forming a second tubular having a second inner diameter, a second wall thickness, and a second connection end, and increasing the first wall thickness of the first connection end, increasing the first inner diameter of the first connection end, increasing the second wall thickness of the second connection end, and increasing the second inner diameter of the second connection end. The first tubular and the second tubular are attached at a weld point between the first connection end and the second connection end so as to form a tubular connection assembly with a target amount of fatigue performance. A metallic riser, such as a steel catenary riser or a steel lazy wave riser, can be formed of a plurality of tubular connection assemblies.

Method and apparatus for producing a curved tubular segment comprising obtaining a curved external tubular element and a curved internal tubular element made of a material having a resistance to wear greater than that of the curved external tubular element and having a cross section such as to cover at least part of the internal surface of the curved external tubular element. It provides the insertion of the curved internal tubular element inside the curved external tubular element after heating the latter by means of a heating unit. Moreover, to form the curved external tubular element on the exact geometry of the curved internal tubular element a molding unit and a cooling unit are used to obtain a curved tubular segment without spaces between the curved external tubular element and the curved internal tubular element.

Disclosed is a fluid conduit element (1), said fluid conduit element comprising a first fluid conduit member (11) and a second fluid conduit member (12), the fluid conduit members joined to each other, each fluid conduit member comprising a liner (115, 125) and a joint face (111, 121) at which the fluid conduit members are joined to each other, characterized in that the first fluid conduit member joint face (111) is convexly shaped whereby a first fluid conduit member inner wall (116) extends axially further on the joint face than a first fluid conduit member outer wall (117), the second fluid conduit member joint face (121) is concavely shaped whereby a second fluid conduit member outer wall (127) extends axially further on the joint face than a second fluid conduit member inner wall (126), wherein at least one of the first and second fluid conduit members (11, 12) comprises a buttering layer bonded to the respective fluid conduit member liner and arranged at least on one of the respective joint face and the outer wall of the respective fluid conduit member liner in an axial section abutting the respective joint face. Further disclosed is a method for producing a fluid conduit element.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a method for reducing ovality in pipe for joining to pipe components by using a plug coupled on an inside surface of the pipe and a sacrificial component coupled to the end of the pipe to establish a coupling interface. The plug, the sacrificial component, or a combination thereof assists in minimizing ovality changes during use of the pipe, particularly at the end of the pipe. When the pipe is to be coupled with a pipe component, the pipe and sacrificial component are separated at a different location than the coupling interface along the pipe in proximity to the plug. The plug is left coupled to the sacrificial component, and generally slidably engaged with the pipe. The plug and the sacrificial component can be removed from engagement with the pipe. The pipe and the pipe component can be coupled together.

A fluid connection comprises a first component (26) having a fluid connection portion (38) and formed of a first material. A second component (24) has a second fluid connection and is formed of a second material, with the first and second materials being dissimilar. A transition joint (40) includes a first stub portion (42) formed of a third material, which is easy to connect to the first material, and the first stub portion (42) is fixed to the first connection (38). A second stub portion (48) is formed of a fourth material, which is connectable to the second material. The second stub portion (48) is fixed to the second connection, and the first and second stub portions (42, 48) are fixed together by a welding technique.
