API 653 Inspectors Toolbox helps you to find
information quickly via a series of icons and
tabulated text windows. The subject tabs of the text
widows and icons help to guide the user to the
desired information page through a topical approach.
The tabulated text windows are designed to facilitate
quick access to information that an Inspector or
Reliability Engineer may need in response to
questions or inspection finding requiring timely
judgment calls.

The subject matter analysis is separated into a

structured step-by-step process (Shell, Fixed Roof,
Floor, Shell Nozzles, etc.). These component text
windows have subsets of pages addressing the
various disciplines related to assessing the degree
of degradation and other discrepancies. The
disciplines include Design Criteria, Inspection Horizontal Tank Calculations
Guidelines, Repair Specifications for each of the
components, etc.

The API-653 Inspectors Toolbox icons are linked to the

most commonly associated Codes (API-650, API-653,
ASME V, et) to provide quick access to those codes
when needed. No laboring or searching, a “Codes” icon
will navigate you to the appropriate API, ASME and
other associated codes as well.

Icons also provide quick access to the work modules

(such the Report Builder, Calculations, Engineering
Specs, Hydro Testing, Repair Specs, etc.). Online help
and documentation is provided.

THERMAL ANALYSIS MODEL

FOR HOT-TAP WELDING
Version 5.0

Background

The Edison Welding

Institute (EWI)
developed the New
PRCI Thermal
Analysis Model for Hot
Tap Welding V5.0 for
PRCI. The model is
intended to provide
welding engineers
with guidance for
establishing safe
parameters for
welding onto in-
service pipelines (hot-
tap welding).

 THERMAL ANALYSIS MODEL
Software Description FOR HOT-TAP WELDING
The PRCI Thermal Analysis Model for Hot-Tap Welding is a stand-
alone, user-friendly Windows application based on a complex finite
element mathematical model. The model uses a proprietary finite-
element solver developed at Edison Welding Institute (EWI). Mesh
generation capabilities include sleeve, branch, and bead-on-pipe
geometries, the latter for buttering layers and weld deposition repairs.
Heat-sink capacity values can also be predicted for comparison with
field-measured values. The multi document user interface (MDI) allows
multiple cases to be run and heat input selection curves to be
generated. The model was designed and developed to meet the
requirements of API 1104, API 1107, ASME Section IX, BS4515,
BS6990, and CSA Z662.

Systems Requirements
Running Version 5.0 software requires the following:
Ÿ 500 MHz or higher processor clock speed recommended
Ÿ Intel Pentium/Celeron or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron or compatible processor
ŸWindows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista
Ÿ500 MB of RAM
Ÿ30 MB of free disk space

Software Validation

The PRCI Thermal Analysis Model for Hot-Tap Welding was validated by comparing model predictions to experimental data
generated during a previous PRCI-sponsored program at EWI and to predictions made using the existing Battelle model. The
Cooling Rate Prediction capability results indicate that Battelle model predictions tend to be non-conservative for thin-wall
materials, particularly at low flow rates, and very conservative for thick-wall materials. The PRCI model predictions tend to be
relatively accurate, with a consistent level of conservatism across wall thickness range.

Price:

The current Thermal Analysis Model is available only on a lease basis. The current pricing is as follows:

* For existing customers of the software, it is available on a $1,495.00 per year basis, minimum three-year lease (one
license).
* The software is also available on an unlimited site license lease of $10,000.00 per year also based on a three-year minimum
lease.

The proposed route of both the Mackenzie and Alaska

Gas Pipelines from the Arctic down to southern
markets in the United States and Canada has much of
the northern section passing through terrain underlain
by continuous and discontinuous permafrost.
Infrastructure projects of this magnitude must ensure
that lives, wildlife, the environment, and substantial
investments are protected.

Understanding pipeline interaction with freezing

ground and permafrost is of fundamental importance
to companies charged with enhancing the safety,
reliability, and productivity of energy pipeline
infrastructure. In addition to these challenges,
companies face increasingly stringent regulatory
requirements for existing infrastructure and for the
design and construction of future gas pipelines for
Alaska and Canada's Northwest Territories.
Buried pipelines are subjected to stresses imposed
by the freezing process wherever spatial differences
in frost heave exist. Variation in frost heave can be
due to different soil properties and the differences in
thermal transitions between perennially frozen soils
(permafrost) and seasonally frozen soil. Differential
frost heave combined with the resistance to
deformation by either non-frost-susceptible soils or
permafrost will result in bending stresses in pipelines.
To meet these challenges, Permafrost Environmental
Consulting Inc. (PEC), a cold climate engineering
company, developed a Database Library containing
six databases comprising hundreds of data sets and a
14-volume engineering library. Pipelines in
Permafrost and Freezing Ground addresses
important information gaps identified by regulatory
bodies and from industries worldwide experienced
with pipelines in freezing ground and permafrost.
Compiled from data acquired during decades of field
and laboratory research into the behaviour of full
scale pipelines in permafrost and freezing ground, the
databases and library help engineers and scientists
understand soil strain and soil creep, frost heave and
frost bulb growth, thaw consolidation that leads to

pipeline relaxation, pressures in freezing soil and
permafrost, and bending stresses in buried pipelines.
It also provides information on the uplift resistance of
pipelines, and of the hydraulic, thermal, and
mechanical properties of freezing soil and
permafrost.
By utilizing these Pipeline Research Council
International's endorsed databases, pipeline
engineers are better able to develop, test, calibrate,
and verify numerical models of frost heave, frost
penetration, frost bulb growth, and the
thermodynamic processes. The databases allow
them to perform in-depth analysis of pipe-soil
interaction in both freezing ground and permafrost,
which will lead to better risk assessment capabilities
for operating a high pressure gas pipeline in
permafrost and soils exposed to seasonal freezing. In
turn, pipeline companies are better equipped to
ensure safe operation, meet regulatory requirements,
and reduce long-term expenses.

 Based on feedback from training classes and with the cooperation and support of RSTRENG
users, we have improved this industry standard product. The program interface has been
updated and streamlined in order to automate the proper use of the program to meet
RSTRENG/ASME B31G requirements. The program operation and reporting has also been
improved. This allows pipeline professionals who don't have extensive knowledge of the
RSTRENG technology and ASME B31G to correctly use the program by guiding them to use
proper input variables while enforcing the RSTRENG/ASME B31G requirements in
the background.

RSTRENG® is the preferred technology for determining remaining strength of externally corroded
pipe, as it provides a more accurate assessment of the corroded area. This results in enhanced
pipeline integrity and safety while lowering costs to the pipeline owner/operator.
