Abstract

Transportation tubes have important rule in the oil and gas industry. Using different steel grades and different geometrical and loading conditions we can determine the optimum sizes. The optimization can consider both material and fabrication costs. The optimum design is made using an iterative technique. The constraints are from the inner pressure and deadload the stress and stability ones. The spanlength of the tube varies and has an important role in the optimization. The deflection of the tube is proportional to the spanlength and if its limit is small it increases the optimum sizes of the tube. Another constraint is the transfer capacity. The paper shows a parametric study on these conditions.
