  • Publication number: 20130092279
    Abstract: New methods of manufacturing coiled tubing result in increased useful life of the coiled tubing string by creating an enhanced strip-to-strip weld zone having load bearing and/or fatigue resistance properties substantially equal to or greater than the load bearing and/or fatigue resistance properties of the strip base material. The enhanced weld zone is transition into the nominal tubing to reduce stress concentration.
    Type: Application
