Abstract:

The subject of this work is examination of API J55 steel casing pipes manufactured by high frequency (HF) contact welding. Since the pipes were withdrawn after about 70 000 hours of service in an oil drilling rig, the influence of the exploitation conditions on the material properties is determined. Experimental analysis includes tensile, impact toughness and fatigue testing of the specimens cut from the exploited pipe and the new pipe manufactured from the same-grade material. Additionally, pipe with flaws (stress concentrators) is tested by subjecting to internal pressure. The analysed stress concentrators represent defects which are often found in the exploitation: localized corrosion damages (corrosion pits). They were simulated by machining on the external surface of the pipe wall. The behavior of the pipes with these defects is determined by strain measurement and finite element analysis in software package Abaqus. The dimensions of the defects are varied, in order to determine the dependence of load carrying capacity on their depth and length. Several expressions from the literature are applied for estimation of the maximum pressure in damaged pipelines, and the solutions are compared with the predictions of finite element models. Additionally, triaxiality values at the bottom of the defects are compared with those obtained on tensile specimens, having in mind the key role of this parameter in ductile fracture initiation.
