ASSESSMENT ON REMAINING STRENGTH OF SPIRAL WELDS OF IN-SERVICE PIPELINES
Reliability of a weldment plays an important role in a pipeline safety in oil and gas industry. The existence of defects in a weldment limits the carrying capacity of a pipe. In the present work, the mechanical properties of a spiral welded pipe with an incomplete penetration defect were investigated after the pipe transported oil for more than thirty-five years in North China. FEM numerical simulation was performed to determine the relationship between the depth of the incomplete penetration and the carrying capacity of a welded joint with the incomplete penetration, in order to evaluate the remaining strength of the in-service pipe.
