THERE IS PIPELINE OF MATERIAL API 5L GR B AND WE WANT TO CHANGE SOME OF PIPES BUT WE HAVE PIPES API 5L X52 ONLY, CAN WE USE IT? WHAT ABOUT WELDING OF PIPES WITH DIFFERENT STRENGTH ?
There is pipeline of 30inch diameter buried not ( not insulated and no cathodic protection on it) and there are electrical cables beside it
Is there effect of electrical cables on corrosion rate of pipeline and how can this pipeline be repaired when leak happen what is the recommended practices ?
Thanks tbuelna what about different thickness ,second course is double thickness of first course and,procedure of company is 1_ we will weld with electrode 2.5mm 7018
2_cold weld by material like epoxy
I don't understand this procedure ?
There are rivted tank first course is replaced and in the region of T weld will be welded by cold welding to different thickness between first course and the second?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=296fb567-9e4b-4d62-afdf-85650fff317e&file=20131207_121259.jpg
