Description
Onshore and offshore pipeline material engineering involves the selection, design, and testing of materials used in the construction of pipelines. The choice of materials is crucial as pipelines are subjected to a variety of environmental and operational conditions, including high pressure, temperature, and corrosive environments.
Onshore pipelines are typically constructed using carbon steel or low alloy steel due to their strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. However, for high-temperature applications, alloy steels such as 9% chromium or 13% chromium are used due to their excellent high-temperature properties.
Offshore pipelines are subjected to more severe environmental conditions, such as saltwater corrosion and ocean currents, and therefore require more advanced materials. Corrosion-resistant alloys (CRAs) such as duplex stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium are commonly used for offshore pipelines due to their resistance to corrosion and erosion.
In addition to material selection, pipeline material engineers also consider the design and fabrication of the pipeline, including welding techniques and coatings to prevent corrosion. They also perform testing and analysis to ensure the materials and pipeline meet regulatory and industry standards for safety and reliability.
Onshore & Offshore Pipeline Material Engineering (OOPME) Level 1 & Level 2 course explores all the major aspects of processes, technologies and systems involved in onshore & offshore pipeline material engineering including Line Pipe Fabrication Process, Submerged Arc Welded (SAW), Electrical Resistance Welded (ERW), High Frequency Induction (HFI) welded or High Frequency Welded (HFW) , Seamless i.e. without longitudinal (seam) weld, Clad Steel Plate Fabrication Process, Welded Clad Steel Fabrication Process, Large Radius Bends, Anticorrosion Coatings, Concrete Coating, Sacrificial Anodes, Field Joint Material, Flanges, Gaskets and Bolting, SSIV (Subsea Safety Insulated Valve), Insulating Joints, T & Y tees and Conical Reducer (Buttwelded Fittings) and more.
