| Synopsis: With the recent remarkable progress in the areas of steel making, hot coil rolling, pipe making, and quality assurance systems, high frequency electric resistance welded (HF-ERW) pipe has become a standard component of Arctic, CO2 and sour service linepipe applications. However, HF-ERW pipe has not been used for a long period in offshore applications largely due to problems of corrosion and weld quality reliability. This paper describes the new application of HF-ERW pipe to offshore fields, with consideration given to corrosion resistance and longitudinal weld quality reliability and quality assurance. |
