Hi Steve,
Thank you for your input. I am aware of the SureFlex JIP that this study originated from. I will look through it to gain some understanding before contacting manufacturers.
Best rgds, J
Cheers BigInch, you are correct. This is a relatively new failure mechanism for a complex selection of materials in harsh conditions. They (& research papers) are my next port of call. Ill reply to the thread once I have an answer for future investigators.
Hi all,
Background:
Flexible piping has a number of possible failure mechanisms, one of which is caused by rapid depressurisation. i.e. polymer blistering, or in some cases, carcass collapse due to permeated gas expansion in multi-layered PVDF flexibles. API RP 17B provide general...
