ARE COMPOSITES A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO STEEL IN OIL AND GASThe oil and gas industry has traditionally used steel throughout the hydrocarbon value-chain, from the construction of wells and rig systems to onshore pipelines, storage tanks and refineries. However, composites are gaining traction thanks to the numerous ...

Pipe Coating, Lining and Cladding What is the difference between external pipe coating and internal pipe-lining and cladding? External pipe coatings are used to protect the metal from corrosive environments (3LPE coated pipes are the most common choice). Internal lining (example PTFE) protects the pipe from corrosi...

The 7 Flow Meters Used in the Oil and Gas Industry Over the years, people who are involved in the oil and gas industry have been innovating and creating ways to get accurate measurements. From extracting to delivering these raw materials, everyone in the business has been deeply invested in getting the most accurat...

Resolution, dynamic range, horizontal linearity, vertical linearity, sensitivity, signal to noise ratio.

(1) When the ultrasonic wave propagates in the medium, it has the characteristic of reflection at different quality interfaces. If the defect is encountered and the size of the defect is equal to or greater than the ultrasonic wavelength, the ultrasonic wave is reflected back on the defect, and the flaw detector can display the reflected wave. Come out; if the size of the defect is even smaller th...

According to a survey conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, many non-destructive testing methods are considered to be divided into six categories and about 70 kinds. However, the following are common in practical applications:Conventional non-destructive testing methods are:　　－ Ultrasonic Testing（ UT）；　　－Radiographic Testing（RT）；　　－Magnetic particle Testing（MT）；　　－Penetra...

(1) Non-destructive testing is a test method for inspecting the surface and internal quality of the parts to be inspected without damaging the working state of the workpiece or raw materials.(2) NondestructiveTesting: abbreviated NDT

Chinese means oil special tubing, including product oil casing, drill pipe, drill collar, coupling, short circuit and so on.Tubing: A tubing used in oil wells for oil recovery, gas production, water injection, and acid fr...

Oil well tubing is a basic material for the petroleum industry. It is an indispensable special pipe for oil exploration and development. It is also a major strategic material for the oil industry. Its quality and performance are related to the comprehensive economic and security benefits of the oil industry.Oil well tubings are classified according to their uses; casings, oil pipes, drill pipes, e...

3PE anti-corrosion steel pipe base metal includes seamless steel pipe, spiral steel pipe and straight seam steel pipe. The three-layer polyethylene (3PE) anti-corrosion coating has been widely used in the oil pipeline industry for its good corrosion resistance, water vapor permeability resistance and mechanical properties. 3PE anti-corrosion steel pipe anti-corrosion layer is of vital importance t...

Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) English full name is: Hydrogen induced cracking. Hydrogen sulfide is one of the most corrosive and harmful media in oil and natural gas. In the process of natural gas transmission, the stress corrosion of hydrogen sulfide in the transmission pipeline accounts for a large proportion. When used in a wet hydrogen sulfide environment, hydrogen blistering (HB), hydrogen ...
