How to Install Fiber Laser-Based Pipeline Coupling Systems and Pipe Segments

摘要

The laser-based method of the present invention for pipeline installation includes the steps of forming a corona formation at the opposite wall ends of each pipe, continuously interconnecting the corona formations of adjacent pipelines, and when reaching the desired pipeline length And welding the joint between the corona formations. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a pipe connection system having a concave wall end of each adjacent pipe segment that engages with one another to form a corona-shaped joint, and a laser system that operates to weld the corona-shaped joint.
