PETROBRAS is conducting a research project with the purpose of investigating the behavior of pipelines containing long nonuniform depth corrosion defects. In the first phase of this project, burst tests of two tubular specimens were carried out. Each of the two specimens had one external nonuniform depth corrosion defect, machined using spark erosion. This defect consists of two short and deep defects within a long and shallow corrosion patch, longitudinally oriented. The second phase of the project aims at appraising the performance of two different finite element models: a shell model and a solid model. This paper describes the application of these models in the analysis of the two tubular specimens containing a long nonuniform depth defect that were tested in the first phase of this project. The failure pressures predicted by the two types of FE models are compared with the burst pressures measured in the laboratory tests. Also a comparison between the results obtained by these models is presented. It is concluded that the solid model is more accurate than the shell model, but both models proved to be capable of simulating the failure behavior of defects constituted by a long and shallow corrosion patch with deep defects over it.

PETROBRAS is conducting a research project with the purpose of investigating the behavior of pipelines with long corrosion defects. In the first phase of this project a database containing the results of nine burst tests of tubular specimens with flat bottom defects was generated. The second phase of the project aims at appraising the performance of two different finite element models: a shell model and a solid model. This paper describes the application of these models in the analysis of four tubular specimens of the PETROBRAS database. The failure pressures predicted by the two types of finite element models are compared with the burst pressures measured in the laboratory tests. Also a comparison between the results obtained by these models is presented. It is concluded that the solid model is more accurate than the shell model, but both models proved to be capable of simulating the corroded pipe burst tests adequately.

This paper describes the application of solid finite element models in the analysis of five tubular specimens containing interacting corrosion defects. Each of these specimens has been submitted to hydrotest up to failure as part of a previous research project. The specimens were cut from longitudinal welded tubes made of API 5L X80 steel with a nominal outside diameter of 457.2 mm (18 in) and a nominal wall thickness of 7.93 mm (0.312 in). The analyses accounted for large strains and displacements, stress-stiffening and material nonlinearity. The failure pressures predicted by the solid finite element models are compared with the failure pressures of these specimens measured in the laboratory burst tests carried out previously. Also the failure behavior of each specimen is described and illustrated by contour plots of stresses.

Circumferential defects are the ones in which the width w is greater than the length L (w > L). In this paper the burst tests of three tubular specimens are presented. In these tests the tubular specimens were loaded with internal pressure only. The specimens were cut from longitudinal welded tubes made of API 5L X80 steel with a nominal outside diameter of 457.2 mm (18 in) and a nominal wall thickness of 7.93 mm (0.312 in). Each of the three specimens had one external circumferential corrosion defect, machined using spark erosion. Measurements were carried out in order to determine the actual dimensions of each tubular specimen and its respective defect. Tensile specimens and impact test specimens were tested to determine material properties. The failure pressures measured in the burst tests are compared with those predicted by five assessments methods, namely: the ASME B31G method, the RSTRENG 085dL method, the DNV RP-F101 method for single defects (Part B), the RPA method and the Kastner equation.

A corrosion defect can be considered as being of a regular shape if its defect depth profile is relatively smooth and the longitudinal area of metal loss is approximately rectangular. A corrosion defect can be considered as being of an irregular shape if its defect depth profile presents one or more major peaks in depth. In this paper the burst tests of four tubular specimens are presented. In these tests the tubular specimens were loaded with internal pressure only. The specimens were cut from longitudinal welded tubes made of API 5L X80 steel with a nominal outside diameter of 457.2 mm (18 in) and a nominal wall thickness of 7.93 mm (0.312 in). Each of the four specimens had one external irregular shaped corrosion defect, machined using spark erosion. Measurements were carried out in order to determine the actual dimensions of each tubular specimen and its respective defect. Tensile specimens and impact test specimens were tested to determine material properties. The failure pressures measured in the laboratory tests are compared with those predicted by six assessments methods, namely: the ASME B31G method, the RSTRENG 085dL method, the DNV RP-F101 method for single defects, the RPA method, the RSTRENG Effective Area method and the DNV RP-F101 method for complex shaped defects.

The process of multi-wedge cross wedge rolling is an advanced precision technology for forming long shaft parts such as automobile semi-axes. Three-dimensional solid model and the finite element model of semi-axes on automobile and dies of its cross wedge rolling were established. The process of cross wedge rolling was simulated according to the actual dimension of semi-axes on automobile utilizing the finite element method (FEM)software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The required force parameters for designing semi-axes mill are determined. The appropriate roller width was determined according to the length and diameter of semi-axes on automobile. The results have provided the basis for the design of specific structure of automobile semi-axes cross wedge rolling mill.

PETROBRAS is conducting a research project with the purpose of investigating the behavior of pipeline with long corrosion defects. In the first phase of this project, burst tests of 9 tubular specimens containing a single external simulated corrosion defect were carried out. These specimens were cut from longitudinal welded tubes made of API 5L X60 steel with an outside diameter of 323.9 mm and a wall thickness of 9.53 mm. All corrosion defects were smooth rectangular defects fabricated using spark erosion. Tensile specimens were tested to determine material properties. Each corroded specimen was instrumented with 10 post-yield strain gages rosettes, one displacement transducer and three pressure transducers. This paper describes the tubular specimens tested and the instrumentation used. The measured burst pressures are compared with those predicted by the ASME B31G, the RSTRENG 085dL, the RSTRENG Effective Area and the DNV RP-F101 (Part B) methods.

In this paper the burst tests of seven tubular specimens are presented. In these tests the tubular specimens were loaded with internal pressure only. The specimens were cut from longitudinal welded tubes made of API 5L X80 steel with a nominal outside diameter of 457.2 mm (18 in) and a nominal wall thickness of 7.93 mm (0.312 in). The specimen IDTS 1 is a defect-free pipe. The specimen IDTS 2 contains only one defect, herein called base defect. The base defect is an external flat bottomed defect with uniform width (circumferential dimension). The other five specimens contain groups of interacting defects constituted by the combination of two or more base defects. All the defects were machined using spark erosion. Measurements were carried out in order to determine the actual dimensions of each tubular specimen and its respective groups of defects. Tensile specimens and impact test specimens were tested to determine material properties. The failure pressures measured in the laboratory tests are compared with those predicted by six assessments methods, namely: the ASME B31G method, the RSTRENG 085dL method, the DNV RP-F101 method for single defects, the RPA method, the RSTRENG Effective Area method and the DNV RP-F101 method for interacting defects.

First Time

This study presents, for the first time, the mechanical behavior of API 5L pipeline steels X42, X52, X60, X70, X80, and X100 with external and internal corrosion defects as well as a combination of both defects that has been named external–internal corrosion defects. The conventional methods to predict failure pressure in corroded pipes, such as B31G, RSTRENG-1, SHELL, DNV-99, PCORRC, and FITNET FFS, have also been discussed in this article. In addition, pipeline failure pressure has been estimated using the finite element method, considering that it is the best approach to calculate actual failure pressure. The external and internal corrosion defect investigated in this research manifests as a rectangular shape with spherical ends at the edges. When the external–internal corrosion defect appears, failure pressure data decrease dramatically because of severe damage. This is due to the decrease in the ligament (effective area) caused by the corrosion defect. To have a good estimation of the pipeline failure pressure with an external–internal corrosion defect, DNV-99 method can be used with acceptable certainty.
