โฆ Synopsis
Until a few years ago there had been no record of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) as a main cause of failures in Argentine pipelines, but as the pipeline system became of a certain age this mechanism started to have an important impact on reliability. This study analyzes three blowouts attributed to high pH SCC in different oil and natural gas transmission pipelines, which occurred by the sudden propagation of longitudinal cracks at the outer surface of the pipes.

This work deals with the evaluation of the conditions that generate the local buckling in a buried pipeline due to a temperature gradient across its wall. The transport pipelines are often subjected to thermal gradients since the ยฏuid temperature inside the pipe is greater than the external one. The
The aim of this work is to analyze the gas flow in high pressure buried pipelines subjected to wall friction and heat transfer. The governing equations for one-dimensional compressible pipe flow are derived and solved numerically. The effects of friction, heat transfer from the wall and inlet temper
