Fiber laser based pipeline coupling system and method of installing pipe segments

摘要

The disclosed laser-based method for pipeline installation includes forming corona formations on opposite wall ends of each pipe, sequentially interengaging corona formations of adjacent pipelines, and Welding the joint between the corona formations until the desired pipeline length is reached. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to welding a corona-like joint with a pipe connection system that includes a recessed wall end of each adjacent pipe segment intertwined to form a corona-like joint. With working laser systems.
