Tingkah laku kakisan keluli karbon API 5L X65 dengan kehadiran bakteria penurun sulfat (SRB) dalam persekitaran CO2 adalah dikaji. Uji kaji yang dijalankan bagi meneliti tingkah ujian kehilangan berat dan analisis permukaan. Spesimen didedahkan kepada medium kawalan (tanpa konsortium bakteria) SRB selama 10 hari aliran gas berterusan. Biofilem, produk kedalaman lubang terhasil dicirikan mikrosk...

Residual stresses (RS) in pipes welded by a fully automated friction welding process, called FRIEX, are investigated using the contour method (CM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Samples were produced self-developed equipment, which is based on interaction between consumable intermediate rotary ring two stationary pipe sections, varying loading rate applied during of API 5L B with an X65 ring. Mec...

Deepwater and ultra-deepwater oil gas exploitation might be challenge due to the fatigue damage at touchdown zone (TDZ). Therefore, development of risers with thicker pipe ends (upset end) is a solution diminish issues related through reducing average axial stress. In current study, manufacturing an upset end was carried out by friction welding in API X65 PLS2 steel outer diameter 220 mm. Consi...

In this research, a radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF-ANN) model was developed to predict the hot deformation flow curves of API X65 pipeline steel. The results of the developed model were compared with the results of a new phenomenological model that has recently been developed based on a power function of Zener-Hollomon parameter and a third order polynomial function of str...

Oil and gas pipelines manufactured from API-5L Grade X65 steel are generally subjected to cyclic loading their internal surfaces frequently exposed corrosive sour fluids. Exposure of these environments often leads localized corrosion (pitting) decreased fatigue life. Corrosion pits geometrical discontinuities that may promote cracking by acting as stress raisers. In order optimize asset inspect...
