Engineering Mechanics Analysis of Pigging for S Elbow of Oil-Gas Pipe

Article Preview

Abstract:

S elbow in Zhijing River is one of the key parts in the East Gas Transmission Pipeline Project. It brings a great deal of uncertainty and risk factors for pipeline pigging operations. By analysis on dynamic of pig pigging and the impact over bending, this paper established the finite element model, simulated pigging process on the condition that the operating parameters of the pipeline pigging operations were given, analyzed the relationship among pipeline pressure, foam pigging speed and pipe stress, then obtained the security of pipeline pigging operations.
