Study on the Mechanism and Influencing Factors of High Voltage Direct Current Interference

Product Number: 51317--9293-SG

ISBN: 9293 2017 CP

Author: Zitao Jiang

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission results in a large direct current will into the earth. This may cause interference on a buried pipeline even though it is far from the earth electrode. In this work, numerical simulation was used to study the mechanism and influencing factors of HVDC interference.

The Effects Of Different Blast Abrasives On The Performance Of Liquid-Applied Epoxy Pipeline Coatings

Product Number: 51322-17806-SG

Proper surface preparation to create sufficient adhesion of a coating over the substrate is fundamentally important in the long-life performance of a protective coating. Abrasive blast cleaning provides a fast and well-established method of surface preparation, which utilizes energy generated by an air supply to deliver a mass of abrasive particles at certain speeds and volumes to impact the steel resulting in a cleaned surface. The method not only cleans the surface to remove rust, scale, paint, and similar contaminations, but also roughens the surface to produce mechanical and chemical adhesion for a coating. Therefore, abrasive blasting is the preferred method for preparing steel for the application of high-performance coatings and routinely used for achieving the required surface conditions prior to a coating work.

The History Of Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking (HISC) Failures Of Duplex & Super Duplex Stainless Steels (DSS/ SDSS) Due To Cathodic Charging And The Potential For Improvement In HISC Resistance

Product Number: 51322-18070-SG

As long ago as 1973, design codes1 considered the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement due to CP. Between 1986 and 1995^2-4 the failure of DSS fasteners subjected to CP were reported. These were associated with high ferrite levels in the steel (approximately 70%) combined with precipitation hardening at 475°C to give the high levels of strength desired for fastener applications. At the same time, the susceptibility of DSS welds to hydrogen embrittlement had been reported5. Just like the fastener failures, the hydrogen cracking of welds was associated with high ferrite levels (70%), highly restrained joints and in the case of welds, high levels of diffusible hydrogen.

The Influence Of Oxygen On Protective Iron Carbonate Scales Formed On Carbon Steel In CO2 Environments At Near-Neutral Ph

Product Number: 51322-17899-SG

High strength carbon steel tensile wires confined in the annulus of flexible pipes might experience corrosion when the annulus is flooded with water, either due to outer sheath breaches or to condensation of water molecules permeating from the bore through the inner sheath. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) molecules may also permeate from the bore and reach the annulus, where it dissolves into water to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃).

The Virtual Corrosion Engineer For Soil Side Corrosion Prediction And Cathodic Protection Status Monitoring

Product Number: 51322-17677-SG

Corrosion is a ubiquitous phenomenon, which can have massive impacts on the functioning of industrial assets. The threat of corrosion is exacerbated in situations where regular corrosion inspections are difficult. The Virtual Corrosion Engineer (VCE) Project within Shell is intended to offer a solution to this problem by automatically assessing the corrosion rates and threat levels in assets due to a variety of corrosion mechanisms. The VCE system has been deployed in an asset progressively since 2019.
