An alternative method of joining segments of line pipe for installation was employed this summer for pipeline installation in Abu Dhabi. The positive-seal coupling system, supplied by Jetair International Inc., Houston, is a high-strength alternative to welding for joining 2 to 12 in. OD pipe. Through last April, the company produced 10,405 couplings for the 124-km, 10-in. pipeline that is part of the Abu Dhabi Onshore Gas Development project. These were shipped to the Al-Qahtani Pipe Coating terminal in Saudi Arabia where the line pipe was being coated internally and externally. There, the couplings were installed on one end of each joint of pipe. The paper describes the posiseal system, installation, joining unit, and economics.
