In-Service Welding onto Thin-Wall Pipelines using an Austenitic Electrode as a First Buttering Layer
In-Service Welding onto Thin-Wall Pipelines using an Austenitic Electrode as a First Buttering Layer
The hydrocarbon transportation and distribution industry benefits greatly from in-service welding by reducing operational disruption costs. In-service welding is used to repair internal and external defects, such as leaks, using weld deposition or sleeves (Type A or B) and hot tapping operations. If in-service welding is not possible, then sections...
