20080263796PIPELINE SYSTEMS USING A REVERSE FLOW WYE CONNECTOR - A piggable pipeline system is disclosed. One or more pig launcher/receivers may be coupled to a pipeline. At least one fitting may be coupled to the pipeline. The fitting may include a body and at least two passages through the body. The passages are in fluid communication within the body. A diverter is located in at least one of the passages. The diverter is movable between an open position and a closed position.

20100061810BALLASTED DRIVEN PILE - A driven pile anchor suitable for securing a tendon of a tension leg platform to the seafloor is supplemented with added weight. The pile may be a conventional driven friction pile installed with an underwater pile hammer. A load frame is added to the individual pile to accommodate ballast weights. Pre-manufactured ballast weights are placed on the frame to increase the holding power of the pile anchor system. The ballast weights may be secured solely by gravity connections, thereby simplifying their installation. In a second embodiment, the pile is intentionally plugged and installed with the plug intact. Pre-manufactured ballast weights are then placed inside the pile and may be held in place by gravity. In a third embodiment, the pile is a conventional driven friction pile installed with an underwater pile hammer. The pile is initially open but subsequently evacuated and intentionally plugged near its pile tip. Pre-manufactured ballast weights are placed inside the pile to increase its holding capacity. The first embodiment may be practiced in conjunction with either the second or third embodiment. The first embodiment may be retrofitted to existing, driven-pile anchor systems.03-11-2010

20110178736Hydrostatic Pressure Testing System and Method - A hydrostatic pressure testing system for hydrostatic pressure testing of pipe or other vessels. A control center may include a computer program that monitors, records, and controls the system during testing. A test fluid assembly may include a fill conduit capable of providing a test fluid to an inlet section of a vessel to be tested in response to a command from the computer program. A pressure-release safety assembly may have a vent conduit in fluid communication between an outlet section of the vessel and a safety valve. The safety valve may be in fluid communication with a bleed tank for storing an outlet flow of test fluid from the vessel. The safety valve is actuated to relieve fluid pressure in the vessel in response to a selective condition. A method of using the system to conduct hydrostatic pressure testing is also described.07-21-2011

20090321402METHOD TO IMPROVE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A ROOT PASS PIPE WELD - A method and a system for forming a root pass weld for a root pipe joint. A substantially periodic electric welding waveform is generated and a series of electric arc pulses are generated between an advancing welding electrode and a root pipe joint in response to the electric welding waveform. The electric welding waveform includes a base cycle having a background current phase providing a background current level, a peak current phase providing a peak current level, a tail-out current phase providing a decreasing tail-out current level, and at least one heat-increasing current pulse during the background current phase providing a heat-increasing current level being above the background current level.12-31-2009
20110084053Narrow Groove Gas Metal Arc Welding Torch - A narrow groove GMAW torch for thick section welding that addresses the problems of conventional welding torches. A main body portion has a power block with electrical, feed welding wire, water cooling, and shielding gas connections and a contact tip. A dielectric is attached to the main body portion and has a primary shield gas outlet. A gas shield attached to the dielectric defines an annulus between them that functions as a secondary gas shield. A diffusing gas outlet in the dielectric delivers shielding gas to the weld area. The contact tip attached to the power block is designed to receive and control the curvature of the feed welding wire.04-14-2011
20110155711ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF ARC WELDING PARAMETERS - A laser sensor to scan the weld joint either before welding begins as a pre-weld scanning operation or in real time during welding to provide adaptive control of the arc welding parameters. A “line” type laser sensor device projects a laser line within a fixed operating window. The line laser produces a reflective position of anything that the laser line “sees” within the operating window. By triangulation, the exact distance an object is from the laser can be measured at any point along the “line” of the laser. Certain parts of the weld bevel are targeted for measurement. The measurements are stored in an electronic storage medium and a data processor. The stored measurements and data processor are used in conjunction with automated welding equipment to adjust the welding parameters as required. Because the exact joint/weld geometry is then known for every portion of the weld, the welding equipment can then respond or “adapt” to variations in the weld joint between the work pieces.06-30-2011
