Title: Improvement in UOE pipe collapse resistance by thermal aging

Book ·
OSTI ID:434029

A recent investigation has shown that the UOE pipe manufacturing process significantly degrades the collapse resistance of high strength line pipe. This paper assesses the degree of strength recovery that can be achieved by aging the pipe. An experimental investigation was performed in order to develop a quantitative relationship between time and temperature of aging, which produces an increase in compressive yield strength, with consequent increase in collapse resistance to external pressure loading.
