Analysing umbilicals and flexible pipes

摘要

SUBSEA ENGINEERS CALCULATE stresses in umbilicals and flexible pipes using software to ensure that individual components will not fail. Such failures could lead to costly production shut-downs or hydrocarbon leaks. DNV GL's Helica software, which calculates stresses in umbilical and flexible pipe components, has now been proven to deliver highly accurate results according to a release by the company. This was achieved through a joint industry project (JIP).
