LNGタンクの設計、材料の選択、および用途に関する詳細ガイド

Introduction Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is an essential component of the global energy infrastructure, stored at cryogenic temperatures to facilitate efficient transportation and storage. LNG tank design and material selection are critical to ensure their safety, durability, and performance. In addition to exploring tank design and materials, it’s essential to understand the various applications of LNG tanks to fully appreciate their role in the energy sector. Understanding LNG Tank Design LNG tanks are designed to hold natural gas in liquid form at temperatures around -162°C (-260°F). They must accommodate extreme cold, pressure variations, and potential thermal stresses. Here’s a detailed look at the primary tank types and critical design considerations: […]

NACE MR0175 と NACE MR0103 の違いは何ですか?

Introduction In industries like oil and gas, where equipment and infrastructure are routinely exposed to harsh environments, selecting materials that can withstand corrosive conditions is crucial. Two essential standards that guide material selection for environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) are NACE MR0175 and NACE MR0103. While both standards aim to prevent sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and other hydrogen-induced damage, they are designed for different applications and environments. This blog provides a comprehensive overview of the differences between these two essential standards. Introduction to NACE Standards NACE International, now part of the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), developed NACE MR0175 and NACE MR0103 to address the challenges posed by […]

環境クラッキング: HB、HIC、SWC、SOHIC、SSC、SZC、HSC、HE、SCC

Introduction In industries where materials are subjected to harsh environments—such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation—understanding and preventing environmental cracking is critical. These types of cracking can lead to catastrophic failures, costly repairs, and significant safety risks. This blog post will provide a detailed and professional overview of the various forms of environmental cracking like HB, HIC, SWC, SOHIC, SSC, SZC, HSC, HE, and SCC, including their recognition, underlying mechanisms, and strategies for prevention. 1. Hydrogen Blistering (HB) Recognition: Hydrogen blistering is characterized by the formation of blisters or bulges on the surface of a material. These blisters result from hydrogen atoms penetrating the material and accumulating […]

3LPE vs 3LPP: パイプラインコーティングの総合比較

Introduction Pipeline coatings protect steel pipelines from corrosion and other environmental factors. Among the most commonly used coatings are 3-layer Polyethylene (3LPE) and 3-layer Polypropylene (3LPP) coatings. Both coatings offer robust protection, but they differ in terms of application, composition, and performance. This blog will provide a detailed comparison between 3LPE and 3LPP coatings, focusing on five key areas: coating selection, coating composition, coating performance, construction requirements, and construction process. 1. Coating Selection 3LPE Coating: Usage: 3LPE is widely used for onshore and offshore pipelines in the oil and gas industry. It is particularly suitable for environments where moderate temperature resistance and excellent mechanical protection are required. Temperature Range: The […]
