Introduction - Pipeline Strength (Wall Thickness) : - External Pressure
• External Pressure
– If a buckle is formed it may propagate
along the pipeline
– Usually buckle propagation pressure
Ppr < collapse pressure Pc
– Therefore it is more economical to design
a pipe on collapse pressure than propagation pressure,
But There will be a need to fit thicker pipe joints or
buckle arrestors at regular intervals to isolate any
buckled sections
