A leak of nearly 13,000 barrels of crude oil from the Keystone Pipeline near the Kansas-Nebraska border last year was caused by a flawed weld and stress on the pipe from being bent, the operator said.
The thickness of concrete coating on a large-diameter offshore pipeline may be up to eight times the wall thickness of its steel pipe, requiring that its effects on the stiffness, stresses, and ...
A method has been developed for calculating the nominal wall thickness of matching pipe for certain sizes of branch connections and stress intensification factor (SIF) and for designing branch ...
Feb. 10 (UPI) --A massive oil spill from the Keystone Pipeline in northern Kansas in December was caused by a welding flaw and bending stress fatigue, TC Energy Corp said in its initial investigation ...
