Recent changes in the codes for
building pipelines has led to a boom in the production of new materials
that can be used in flexible pipes. With the use of polymers, steel,
and other new materials and variations on existing materials, the
construction and, therefore, the installation and operation of flexible
pipes is changing and being improved upon all over the world. The
authors of this work have written numerous books and papers on these
subjects and are some of the most influential authors on flexible pipes
in the world, contributing much of the literature on this subject to the
industry. This new volume is a presentation of some of the most
cutting-edge technological advances in technical publishing.
This
is the most comprehensive and in-depth book on this subject, covering
not just the various materials and their aspects that make them
different, but every process that goes into their installation,
operation, and design. The thirty-six chapters, divided up into four
different parts, have had not just the authors of this text but
literally dozens of other engineers who are some of the world’s leading
scientists in this area contribute to the work. This is the future of
pipelines, and it is an important breakthrough. A must-have for the
veteran engineer and student alike, this volume is an important new
advancement in the energy industry, a strong link in the chain of the
world’s energy production.
