IPEC Pipeline Toolbox | Pipeline Submerged Weight

Pipeline Submerged Weight

This module calculates weight of a pipeline joint with specified layers of coating. This calculation can be used for both onshore and offshore pipelines. The reduced weight due to the Archimedes (buoyancy) force is considered and both dry and submerged weight values are calculated. Also if the density of the fluid in pipeline is known, both empty and full line weights will be available. It is assumed that is some cutback for corrosion and concrete coatings where field joint is used.
