Cost-optimized construction of subsea pipelines Mitsui Babcock: testing of subsea oil pipelines On bending and breaking: Cost- optimized construction of subsea pipelines Mitsui Babcock, of Glasgow in Scotland, is a global leader in the validation and testing of subsea oil pipelines. This guarantees optimum pipeline construction, as well as safe laying even in deep sea. T o derive the maximum possible bene?t from their tests, they decided to use linear strain gages from HBM’s standard product program, the MGCplus ampli?er system and the data analysis software catman. Ensuring integrity under load … A common method used in pipeline construction is to ?t an enclosed stainless steel coating into the external carbon steel pipe by hydraulic widening. When the pipelines are laid, they are exposed
