Background and classification of thickened tubing
Upset tubing, as the name suggests, is to thicken the tubing to make the tubing more robust and durable. The thickness of a standard pipe is not increased randomly. Increasing randomly may cause cracks or brittle fractures due to changes in the stress structure of the pipe body. Any thickening of the tubing must be thickened after in-depth research and design verification. In offshore oil, many buried submarine pipelines are immersed in seawater for a long time, and are subject to the impact of seabed sediment and huge seawater to produce various erosions and impacts, which will cause great damage to the external pipe wall and shorten its life. Inside the oil pipeline, complex crude oil with high temperature, high heat, high corrosion, oil, gas and water combination is transported at a relatively fast speed. Long-term transportation will cause different degrees of corrosion or perforation in the inner pipe, making it difficult to repair the crude oil leakage, which makes it di...
