Umbilical & control line tubes
Durable Umbilical & Control Line Tubes
In harsh environments, umbilical and control line tubes face severe wear challenges. Stancor Tubulars.
The service challenge
Umbilical and control line tubes often experience abrasive wear due to fluid dynamics and external impacts, leading to pitting and failure at stress points. This wear mechanism can compromise integrity, resulting in leaks and unplanned downtime.
Recommended pipe or tube by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control Line Tubing | S31600 | 3-10 mm | Enhanced corrosion resistance extends life significantly. |
| Umbilical Pipe | S31803 | 4-12 mm | High strength and toughness improve performance in extreme conditions. |
| Instrumentation Tubing | N08904 | 2-8 mm | Excellent resistance to both oxidation and sulfidation increases longevity. |
| Hydraulic Pipe | N06625 | 5-15 mm | Superior fatigue resistance ensures reliability under pressure. |
| Flow Assurance Tubes | S32750 | 6-20 mm | Excellent wear resistance in aggressive environments prolongs service life. |
Selecting the right pipe or tube
Choose the right grade
Assess the environmental conditions to select the most suitable alloy.
Opt for seamless pipes
Seamless construction enhances strength and minimizes failure points.
Consider thickness requirements
Thicker materials can offer improved wear resistance under heavy use.
Focus on corrosion resistance
Select grades with superior corrosion resistance for extended service in harsh environments.
Questions engineers ask
What is the best grade for high corrosion environments?
For high corrosion environments, S31600 and S31803 are recommended due to their outstanding resistance.
How does thickness affect performance?
Increased thickness generally enhances durability and wear resistance but may add weight.
What wear mechanisms affect control line tubing?
Control line tubing is primarily affected by abrasive wear and corrosion, particularly at welded joints.
How do I ensure optimal tube performance?
Regular inspections, appropriate cleaning, and selecting the right materials are key to maintaining optimal performance.
