Pipeline welds: seen, measured, quantified and approved

摘要

One of the limiting factors in the lifespan of a pipeline is corrosion. Corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) clad pipe is becoming increasingly important in preventing corrosion. The welding process is critical to the successful fabrication of CRA clad pipes and, consequently, the ability for the pipeline owner to extend the life of their pipeline. However, the welding process itself is very challenging.
