Project Title:

Comperative study between pipeline (Gr. X65) wall thickness and water depth during installation

Research Overview and Problem Statement:

Research overview

The research is about the relationship of wall thickness and depth of water during installation of
pipeline. Different wall thickness has different tensile strength and yield strength and the deeper the water the
higher the pressure will act on the pipeline. The research is done to know the limitation of the pipeline at
certain depth.

This relationship between wall thickness and water depth will be affected by the mechanical factor
that will affect the pipeline during installation such as bending, ovality and buckling.

Problem statement

The high pressure of deep water required high thickness of pipeline, but high thickness of pipeline
wall increase the weight and problems during installation. The mechanical factor such as bending and buckling
will prevent from achieving the targeted water depth during installation. Suitable pipeline wall thickness need
to be obtain for a certain water depth.

Objectives (Please provide only two objectives):

To analyse different level of water depth as optimum level for different pipeline wall thickness.

To identifies the suitable method for installation of pipeline prior to wall thickness and water depth.

Scope of Research

The scope of the research is to use the different type of pipe and wall thickness to identify the limitation of the
pipe in different water depth. It is measure by the tensile strength, bending and ovality of the pipe.
