Abstract:The development of HPHT oilfield equipment has typically resulted in the construction of heavy-walled designs, where the increase in rated working pressure is accommodated by an increase in sectional thickness. This manner of design, however, is limited by practical difficulties which arise in the areas of manufacturing, handling/lifting, and uniformity of through-thickness material properties. Designs of more efficient size and weight may be developed by relaxing assumed design factors and hydrotest pressures… Show more
