Pipeline Toolbox

The Pipeline Toolbox is home to many tools and calculators. The PLTB User’s Guide presents information, guidelines and procedures for use during design, construction, operations and integrity tasks for field or office applications.

Accidental release from liquid pipeline volumes are calculated based on the leak rate and time to isolate pipeline section and release rate during free flow.

Pipeline cathodic protection is achieved by the supply of sufficient direct current to the external pipe surface, so that the steel-to-electrolyte potential is lowered on all the surface to values at which external corrosion is reduced to an insignificant rate.

Analysis and design of buried pipelines are usually based on classical theories and semi-empirical methods.

The Steel Pipeline Design & Stress Analysis module is intended to provide adequate analysis for public safety under all conditions encountered in the gas industry.

This technology has been enthusiastically embraced by proponents, contractors and regulators as a potentially low impact construction technique.

The pipe stress and ground motion are a method that would yield reasonable stress estimates by simplifying this source into an equivalent parallel line or point source.

A compressor station is one of the most critical components in a natural gas pipeline system. Compressor stations supply the energy to pump gas from production fields, to overcome frictional losses in transmission pipelines, and to pump gas into and from storage reservoirs.

It has been recognized within the pipeline industry that some sections of high-pressure pipelines, particularly those with long service histories, may experience corrosion.

The following module contains a few calculations that can address some areas and tasks conducted on facilities to ensure greater levels of safety and operation.

Pipeline pumps are used for boosting pressures and for transferring product in both gathering and mainline transmission systems.

Pressure testing is an industry-accepted method for validating the integrity of pipelines. This integrity assessment method can be both for strength and leak integrity testing.

When selecting pipe materials, designers, owners and contractors specify materials that provide reliable, long-term service durability, and cost-effectiveness. Solid wall PE pipes provide a cost-effective solution for a wide range of piping applications.

In the pipeline industry many components are used for everyday operation such as meters, regulators and relief valves. These components play a critical role in the operation and safety of the pipeline systems around us.
