Automated spiral wound pipe for large scale applications

该项目研究了先进的螺旋缠绕钢带技术用于大口径管道的可行性，用于气体或液体形式的能量输送。钢铁冶金和自动化过程控制的进步与创新的专利联锁相结合，提供了一种新的方法，有可能将总管道成本减半，并大幅减少排放。管道网络是能源运输的关键基础设施，比其他方法更具成本效益，对环境的影响更小。该项目将结合先进的有限元分析方法、组合工程概念、先进的轧钢成型和缠绕技术来承担陆上管道工程-75年来一直没有根本改变

This project investigates the feasibility of advanced spiral wound steel strip technology for large diameterpipelines for the transport of energy in gas or liquid form. Advances in steel metallurgy and automated processcontrols combined with an innovative patented interlock offer a new approach with the potential to halve totalpipeline costs and dramatically reduce emissions. PIpeline networks are key enabling infrastructure for energytransport and more cost effective than other methods with less environmental impact.The project will bring together advanced finite element analysis methods , composite engineering concepts,advanced steel roll forming and winding technologies to bear on onshore pipeline engineering - which has notchanged radically for 75 years
