Introduction to Pipeline Steels: Metallurgy, Manufacturing, Standards, and Specifications
This webinar will introduce attendees to the topic of pipeline metallurgy and how manufacturing, standards, and specifications influence pipeline mechanical properties, weldability, and long-term integrity. The webinar starts with a description of how pipelines fail since the failure modes influence what metallurgical measures are taken to minimize susceptibility to those failures. The major types of pipe and fitting manufacturing processes, and common flaws associated with them will be reviewed, including a discussion of obsolete types of pipe that are still in service, including pipes with lap seams, furnace butt weld seams, and flash weld seams.
The review will include a brief summary of some historical practices that influence current pipeline characteristics. Attendees will learn the significance of yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, hardness, toughness, and composition and how those attributes are specified and measured, including how test procedures can influence results. Attendees will also be introduced to the topic of pipeline welding since welding can have a significant impact on pipe properties and susceptibility to various forms of in-service degradation.
