It has good overall economic effect and it is necessary to study how to protect the pipe during transportation and construction. The unexpected failure of pipe caused by bending, scratching, torsion or excessive extrusion should be avoided. Considering the potential risks, feasible technical solutions are proposed and applied in offshore projects, and anticipative results are achieved. These methods can be reused for similar projects in the future. Related Articles | Metrics

Based on the failure probability model of DNV corrosion factors, the reliability of submarine pipelines is evaluated, and the reliability index and failure probability under different corrosion depths are calculated, and the safety grade is evaluated. According to the DNV-OS-F101-2007 specification, the risk factors and risk score of submarine pipelines are identified. The risk assessment process of submarine pipelines is given, and the risk score and risk grade of pipelines are determined. It can provide reference for risk assessment of high pressure gas pipeline transmission by submarine corrosion pipelines. Related Articles | Metrics

Damage Assessment of In-Service  Subsea Pipeline SUN Guo-min, ZHANG Jie, Xü Zhi-hui 2018, 5 (6):  400-404.  DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2018.06.08 Abstract ( 395 )   PDF (1620KB) ( 88 )    Different types of damage of the risers and subsea pipelines are summarized. The cause of the damage to the subsea pipe is summed up. The assessment methods and codes to check the different damage types are enumerated. The evaluation of surface defects is mainly to evaluate whether the surface defect degree of damaged subsea pipe meets the specification requirements. The evaluation of mechanical strength can tell us whether the local stress is exceeding the requirements of the code; the finite element method is used to simulate the overall pipeline stress, so as to judge whether the overall pipeline strength meets the specification requirements. Through the above evaluation methods, we can judge whether the subsea pipe can continue to operate after damage. It effectively solves the problem of in-service pipeline damaged structure evaluation, providing a reference for the project decision. Related Articles | Metrics

Drill Pipe Processing Interface Auto-detective System  of Iron Roughneck WANG Ke-zhu, ZHU Dai-xing 2018, 5 (6):  405-409.  DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2018.06.09 Abstract ( 328 )   PDF (12742KB) ( 55 )   With regard to the situation that the existing iron roughneck requires manual assistance when detecting the center and processing interface of drill pipes to fulfill the drill pipe processing operation, we develop the drill pipe processing interface auto-detective system. This system consists of a linear displacement sensor， 300 PLC controller and a linkage mechanism which can reset automatically. This system not only achieves the full-automatic detection of the drill pipe center, also detects the interface of drill pipes automatically. This eliminates the manual operation step during the drill pipe operation and improves the automation level of iron roughneck. Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis of the Influence of Different Material Hardness on the  Performance of Combined Seal Structure in DeepSea Environment YI Pan, JIN Yong-ping, PENG You-duo, WAN Bu-yan 2018, 5 (6):  421-428.  DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2018.06.12 Abstract ( 345 )   PDF (24093KB) ( 69 )   In order to meet the need of safe and stable operation of deep-sea equipment under the special working conditions of deep-sea high pressure, with the combined seal structure under deep-sea high-pressure environment as the object, the axial symmetry finite element model of the combined seal structure is established by the ABAQUS finite element analysis software, and the influence of the material hardness of different O-ring seals on the performance of the combined seal structure is analyzed. The results show that the maximum Von Mises stress of the O-ring decreases with the increase of the material hardness, but the maximum contact pressure of each sealing lip of the seal ring and the slip ring gradually increases as the material hardness increases. When the O-ring material has a low hardness, the O-ring will be squeezed into the gap between the slip ring and the groove, causing a “sharp angle” phenomenon, which in turn causes the seal structure to fail. The research results provide theoretical basis and technical support for the optimization of combined seal structural materials and the optimal design of seal structures in deep-sea high-pressure environment.
