Hi,
I am wondering what determines the length and shape of a tie-in spool, drop down spool etc? I know the purpose (accommodate expansion of pipeline) however I have seen so many variations of lengths and shapes (M, Z, L) I don't exactly know why?
It makes sense for length and size of the spool to be determined by the amount of predicted expansion of flowline?
As for shape I have no idea!
Can anyone shed light on this and how they shape and length are determined?
Cheers guys
