Engineering Design of Oil and Gas Pipelines

Pipeline design is required because each pipeline is unique, for legislative and ultimate client purposes, and it saves money. This book explains the basic technique for designing oil or gas pipeline i.e. calculation of design load and pressure, determining the stress components of pipeline system and subsequent check against failure criterion, expansion and flexibility, corrosion allowance, pipe material etc. Also included is safety of pipeline engineering designs and example calculations. The content of this book should be useful to Engineers when working on a pipeline project and engineering students studying the subject for degrees, diploma and professional examinations. Engineers and students will undoubtedly find it a most useful guide.
