Predictive failure assessment during design stage is a powerful tool to avoid brittle fracture. ➡️ the next question is how to implement it? Not only defining MPT curves to ensure a safe & optimized startup/ shutdown but also considering the effect of a potential crack. Don’t miss this post!

Tensile testing provides essential mechanical data like yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. These properties are crucial for understanding how pipes respond to external forces, ensuring structural integrity, and designing pipelines to withstand operational loads. The university's petroleum and gas laboratory is equipped with advanced testing machines, following international standards to ensure accurate and reproducible results during tensile testing. Impact on Pipeline Design and Integrity: Accurate mechanical characterization aids in designing robust pipelines and assessing their structural integrity. Regular evaluations based on these properties facilitate timely maintenance and repairs. Conclusion: Mechanical characterization through tensile testing in the university's laboratory is indispensable for reliable pipe flexibility analysis. It forms the basis for safe pipeline design and assessment, contributing significantly to the petroleum and gas industry's efficiency and safety. #pipestress #oilandgas #upg75 #pipe #pressurevessel #PVElite

ASIMER GROUP completes the: - Premachining - NDTs on sealing areas - Machining, and - PT on BWs for 16 top-entry, cryogenic double eccentric butterfly valve bodies (24” 300#, in CF8M), performed in its Trevisan DS900, for a final French customer. In Chemical and LNG (liquefied natural gas) industries, pipelines, and valves are involved in the transmission of cryogenic liquids and gases. These are some cryogenic valves applications. Cryogenic refers to materials and fluids that are handled below -101℃, i.e., -239℉, so these valves must be produced from materials that will withstand these extreme temperature ranges. FEATURES & BENEFITS: - Cryogenic valves are capable of handling temperatures ranging from 37℉ to -320℉. - Cryogenic valves have excellent bubble-tight shutoff features to prevent leakage at any cost. As the fluids transported in these valves and pipelines are chemicals, leakages can cause extreme results. - Usually, cryogenic valves are designed to have long stems. This is because the valve stem seal should be kept away from the cold fluid. - Cryogenic valves are specifically employed in chemical, LNG, CNG, and other oil and gas industries. - Compared to standard valves, these valves are light. Also, they should be very clean and lubricant-free. #NaturalGas #TopEntry #ButterflyValves #CryogenicValves #AddedValue #Engineering #Quality #AsimerGroup #HighlyEngineeredValves #Accuracy

Highlights: • A probabilistic methodology for the assessment of the corroded pipeline reliability is presented. • The radial and axial corrosion rates were assessed based on the intelligent inspection tool results. • The sensibilities of the corrosion defect depth and corrosion rate were analyzed. • A methodology for the remaining life calculation of corroded pipelines was established. • Reliability analysis is done for the whole pipeline and for the four sections. #pipelines #corrosion #energy #mechanicalengineering #gas #corrosionmanagement #pipelineintegrity

■Post weld heat treatment (#PWHT) is a controlled process in which a material that has been welded is reheated to a temperature below its lower critical transformation temperature, and then it is held at that temperature for a specified amount of time. It is often referred to as being any heat treatment performed after welding; however, within the oil, gas, Petrochemical and nuclear industries, it has a specific meaning. Industry codes, such as the ASME Pressure Vessel and Piping Codes, often require mandatory performance of PWHT on certain materials to ensure a safe design with optimal mechanical and Metallurgical properties. ●The need for PWHT is mostly due to the residual stresses and micro-structural changes that occur after welding has been completed. During the welding process, a high temperature gradient is experienced between the weld metal and the parent material. As the weld cools, residual stress is formed. For thicker materials, these stresses can reach an unacceptable level and exceed design stresses. Therefore, the part is heated to a specified temperature for a given amount of time to reduce these stresses to an acceptable level. In addition to residual stresses, microstructural changes occur due to the high temperatures induced by the welding process. These changes can increase hardness of the material and reduce toughness and ductility. The use of PWHT can help reduce any increased hardness levels and improve toughness and ductility to levels acceptable for design👨🔧👩🔧✅💯
