Technical Feasibility Study of Using Low Carbon Steel pipes in Natural Gas Pipeline Installations in the Egyptian Coastal Areas “Port Said and Alexandria”

Abstract

The aim of this study is to carry out a feasibility study for the use of four different types of steel pipelines to achievethe best type to be used for Natural Gas installat ions in the Egyptian coastal areas. Steel pipes that use in this purposehas exposed to different experimental tasks such as; morphology, hardness, machinability, bending, static pressure andcorrosion behaviour. The results according to the technical feasibility study indicate that the Coru’s pipe, El-Nasr’spipes and the Crane’s pipes can be satisfactorily used in Egyptian coastal areas respectively. The El-Nasr’s pipes gavegood properties and best cost compared to the Coru’s pipes. In same time more acceptable instead to the otherinvestigated types in the Egyptian coastal areas
