The U.S.S.R.'s Orenburg gas pipeline system is establishing several precedents in pipeline construction. The 56-in., 1709-mile line will be the largest pipeline system in existence. Extra-large pipe sections were welded by the CRC automatic process on 492 miles of the line to reduce time and manpower requirements. The decision to use triple-jointing of pipe sections produced a new generation of submerged-arc welding equipment and techniques for joining pipe sections at yard locations.
