  • Patent number: 11017054
    Abstract: A collapse strength prediction method of a steel pipe includes deriving a prediction equation indicating a relationship among D/t obtained by dividing an outer diameter D (mm) by a thickness t (mm), material characteristics, a collapse strength dominant factor, and a collapse dominant proof stress (?CDOS) of the steel pipe using a plurality of reference steel pipes collapse whose strengths have been obtained in advance, obtaining D/t, material characteristics, a collapse strength dominant factor, and a predicted collapse strength of a steel pipe that is an evaluation subject, obtaining a compressive stress-strain curve in a circumferential direction of the steel pipe that is the evaluation subject, obtaining a stress that causes a permanent strain to be generated in the steel pipe that is the evaluation subject as the collapse dominant proof stress on the basis of the compressive stress-strain curve, and computing the predicted collapse strength of the steel pipe that is the evaluation subject from the D/t, t

  • Patent number: 10449636
    Abstract: A pipeline is a pipeline having plural weld zones in which ends of plural steel pipes are joined by welding, the plural steel pipes are produced from plural charges of molten steel having one or more steel compositions; yield point elongation is not present on a stress-strain curve obtained when stress is applied in a longitudinal direction of each of the steel pipes; a thickness of each of the steel pipes t (mm) and an average pipe outside-diameter D (mm) satisfy t/D×100?6; and in the plurality of the weld zones, ?YS which is a yield strength difference between one steel pipe and the other steel pipe that are welded to each other (MPa), and YR representing a yield ratio that is a ratio of the yield strength to tensile strength of a pipe having a low yield strength out of the one steel pipe and the other steel pipe, satisfy ?YS??1.75×YR+230.
