A PIPE SUITABLE FOR USE IN A PIPELINE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING PRESSURIZED LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS AND A CONTAINER FOR STORING THE SAME

摘要

Pipeline distribution network systems are provided for transporting pressurized liquefied natural gas at a pressure of about 1035 kPa (150 psia) to about 7590 kPa (1100 psia) and at a temperature of about -123°C (-190°F) to about -62°C (-80°F). Pipes and other components of the pipeline distribution network systems are constructed from an ultra-high strength, low alloy steel containing less than 9 wt% nickel and having a tensile strength greater than 830 MPa (120 ksi) and a DBTT lower than about -73°C (-100°F).
