This paper provides a major challenge, Because of many
bad conditions that effect oil pipelines properties, this paper
discuss the ability of manufacturing and applying the 3D
woven spacer composite fabric for insulating oil pipelines.
This paper
talks over the thermal, chemical, and mechanical
properties of the final product from the 3D Spacer Fabric and
the polymer resin matrix.
And finally, this paper gives an idea how and with any kind of
weaving machines these fabrics can be made.
Corrosion is the most important problem in the process of oil production, Its results are: sudden fracture, high economic cost and great loss in oil equipment. Appropriate solutions have been suggested to extend the life of facilities, and to avoid c
orrosion phenomenon which may get the facility out of service, But, finding the main
reasons causing this phenomenon, and studying the factors that contribute to increase or reduce the spread of corrosion requires more urgent attention.
In this paper, the data of the pressure has been analyzed in three crude oil pipelines and focus was on the values during the days where changes were irregular. In the same period, the study of internal corrosion rate was being done, using weight loss method. It has been noticed that when the value of pressure is greater than 2 Mpa, the
internal corrosion rate will be above the maximum. allowable limit which is 4 mil per year (MPY), while the internal corrosion rate will be within the acceptable range when the pressure is not greater than 1 Mpa.
