The development of weld procedures for X80 pipelines in the UK

International Seminar on Welding of High Strength Pipeline Steels

2013
Millwood, Neil A
An extensive programme of development work was undertaken prior to the implementation of the first grade X80 pipeline in the UK in the year 2000. Since that time over 900 km of DN1200 grade X80 pipelines have been installed in the UK and a wealth of experience has been gained. This paper chronicles some of the historical background and describes the weld procedure requirements for girth welding of X80 pipelines.

Strengthening Mechanisms and Their Relative Contributions to the Yield Strength of Microalloyed Steels
The Charles Hatchett Award is important to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. Introduced over 40 years ago, The Charles Hatchett Award is a prestigious recognition that aims to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. The award is sponsored by CBMM | Niobium and recognizes the best published research on the science and technology of Niobium. The annual award brings together technical experts worldwide, and a panel of international experts selects the winning paper. The 2013 Charles Hatchett Award winners’ presentation aims to understand the strengthening mechanism of micro alloyed steels by determining strengthening contributions due to the effects of the grain size and the influence of precipitation.
