Advantages and Disadvantages of Pipeline Transportation

Goto JIANZHI to know more.

Pipeline transportation is developed along with the increase in oil and natural gas production. It is a transportation technology that uses gas to deliver gas, liquid and fluid. At present, it has become the main mode of transportation for onshore oil, gas and granular coal transportation. In recent years, seamless steel pipes are mainly used for pipelines conveying fluids and solid materials, and welded steel pipes are mostly used for gases. Pipelines have also made great progress in the transportation of granular coal and concentrate. Shipping petroleum products by pipeline is more expensive than by water, but still cheaper than by rail. Most pipelines are used by their owners to transport their own products.

First, the advantages&#;
(1) It can be transported continuously, is not affected by the weather, and has high reliability throughout the day.
(2) The pipeline can take shortcuts and the transportation distance is short;
(3) The transportation volume is large. A foreign coal pipe with a diameter of 720 mm can transport 20 million tons of coal a year, which is almost equivalent to the single-direction conveying capacity of a single-track railway;
(4) High environmental benefits and no harmful substances.
(5) The transportation project is small in quantity and covers a small area. Pipeline transportation only needs to lay pipelines and build pumping stations. The amount of earth and stone works is much smaller than that of railway construction. Moreover, most of the plain areas are buried underneath, and do not occupy farmland;
(6) The energy consumption is small, which is the lowest among various modes of transportation;
(7) Safe and reliable, no pollution, low cost;
(8) Closed transportation can be realized with less loss.

Second, the disadvantages&#;
(1) The speciality is strong, the transportation goods are too specialized, and the transportation items are limited to gases, liquids and fluids.
(2) The distance between the pipeline transportation volume and the maximum transportation volume is small. Therefore, in the initial stage of oilfield development, when pipeline transportation is difficult, road, road, and land and water transportation should be used as a transition.
(3) Forever one-way transportation, poor maneuverability.
(4) Fixed investment is large.

Pipe fittings belong to one kind of pipe fittings. It is made of stainless steel material, so it is called stainless steel pipe fittings. It includes stainless steel elbow, stainless steel tee, stainless steel four-way, stainless steel diameter pipe, stainless steel pipe cap, etc. According to the connection method, it can be divided into socket stainless steel pipe fittings, threaded stainless steel pipe fittings, flanged stainless steel pipe fittings and Stainless steel elbows are used for turning parts; flanges are used for connecting pipes to pipes; stainless steel tee pipes are used for converging places of three pipes; stainless steel tee pipes are used for converging places of four pipes; stainless steel counter-diameter pipes are used for connecting places of two pipes with different diameters.

Advantage:

Easy to clean, beautiful appearance, no rust, generally easy to clean, sticking to food can make the coated pot look a little more attractive.

Disadvantages:

1. Price is higher: stainless steel is better, it is often more expensive. Upper, stainless steel cookers are very good and can last a lifetime. Many people think it&#;s a one-time purchase and worth investing in.

2. Poor heat transfer: Except for bonded aluminium or copper bases, the heat conductivity is very poor. This means that cheaper stainless steel tube parts may not be superior to other products.

3. Overall durability. When choosing stainless steel cookers, there are some cleaning techniques that can start to work. In general, stainless steel should be washed and used to avoid any potential, however small, dyeing.

Pipe joints are removable connectors between pipes and pipes, pipes and other components, such as pumps, valves and assemblies. Pipe joint and other components can be joined by ordinary fine thread or tapered thread (mostly for medium and low voltage). In addition to the end-to-end direct connection, there are also two-way, three-way, four-way and articulated joints for selection in non-directional cases.

1. Hard pipe fittings

According to the connection mode of pipe joints and pipes, there are three types of hard pipe joints: welded pipe joints, jacketed pipe joints and flared pipe joints.

2. Rubber hose joints

There are two types of hose joints: detachable type and buckling type, each of which has three types: A, B and C. It can be used in a system with working pressure ranging from 6 MPa to 40 MPa depending on the diameter of the pipe.

3. Fast Connector

When a part of the system does not need regular oil supply, or when the connecting pipes of the actuators need to be disassembled frequently, they are often used in conjunction with the high-pressure hose.
