Abstract: The current practice for eliminating erosional problems in piping systems is to limit the flow velocity (Ve) to that established by the recommended practice API RP 14E based on an empirical ...

Abstract: Optimization of weight, cost, and performance of deepwater offshore structures demands the increased utilization of high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistant materials such as titanium ...

Abstract: Sand production may be inevitable in many fields that have a relatively low formation strength. Sand erosion and settling predictions and sand monitoring are important elements of any effective ...

Abstract: Titanium alloy Ti-6AI-4V ELI is selected for a high-pressure drilling riser application due to its high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and favorable elastic properties. The qualification ...
