  • 천연가스 중의 부취제 농도를 분석하기 위한 기체 크로마토그래피 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. TBM(tertiarybutylmercaptan) 및 THT(tetrahydrothiophene)를 포함한 8종의 부취제를 OV-101 컬럼상에서 거의 완전히 분리하였다. 수소 유속, 공기 유속 및 검출기 온도와 같이 FPD의 응답에 영향을 미치는 몇 가지 상호 관련된 파라미터들의 최적 조건을 구하였다. TBM과 THT의 검정곡선을 투과한 장치를 이용하여 작성하였다. 이러한 분석방법을 천연가스 공급관 내의 혼합 부취제인 TBM과 THT를 정량하는 데 적용하였다. 부취수준과 부취제 농도와의 상관관계를 구하기 위한 냄새 측정기의 유용성에 대하여 알아보았다.

  • World demand for natural gas has generated the need for many new land transmission pipelines to be installed in the next decade or so. Although mechanized gas metal arc welding is well developed, there are opportunities for cost savings by using alternative welding processes. Hybrid Nd:YAG laser - gas metal arc welding enables fibre optic delivery of the laser energy to a robotic welding head to be combined with the addition of extra energy and a consumable to produce good quality, deep penetration welds in a single pass. The present paper describes initial procedure development to optimize the laser and gas metal arc welding parameters for making joints in pipeline steel. Satisfactory joint quality was obtained and it is intended to develop the process to prototype field trials.

  • The safety analysis of an earthquake is carried out during the operation of a subsea pipeline and an onshore pipeline. Several cases are proposed for consideration. In the case of a buried pipeline, permanent ground deformation by the earthquake and an increase of internal pressure by the acceleration of the earthquake should be considered. In the case of a subsea pipeline, a bending moment is caused by liquefaction of the backfill material on a trenched seabed, etc., which results in a high bending moment of the buried pipeline. The bending moment causes the collapse of the subsea pipeline or a leak of crude oil or gas, which results in economic loss due to enormous environmental contamination and social economic loss owing to operation functional failure. Thus, in order to prevent economic loss and operation loss, structurally sensitive design with regard to seismic characteristics must be performed in the buried pipeline in advance, and the negative impact on the buried pipeline must be minimized by conducting a thorough analysis on the seabed and backfilling material selection. Moreover, it is proposed to consider the selection of material properties for the buried pipeline. A more economical review is also required for detailed study.

  • For the corrosion protection of the natural gas transmission pipelines, two methods are used, cathodic protection and coating technique. In the case of cathodic protection, defects are embrittled by occurring hydrogen at the crack tip or material surface. It is however very important to evaluate whether cracks in the embrittled area can grow or not, especially in weld metal. In this work, on the basis of elastic plastic fracture mechanics, we performed the CTOD testing with various test conditions, such as testing rate and potential. The CTOD of the base metal and the weld metal showed a strong dependence of the test conditions. The CTOD decreased with decreasing testing rate and with increasing cathodic potential. The morphology of the fracture surface showed the quasi-cleavage at low testing rate and cathodic overprotection. The low CTOD was caused by hydrogen embrittlement at crack tip.
