LOGSTOR's single pipe solutions are heat insulated pipe systems for submersion in shallow water areas, which offer very cost-effective installation of offshore oil and gas pipes at depths of up to 200 m. LOGSTOR's single pipes utilise a special combination of polyurethane foam (PUR), high density polyethylene (HDPE) outer casing and other patented technologies to ensure stable insulation values throughout the entire service life. Each pipe length is also fitted with end pieces which protect against moisture penetration. This ensures that any leak only affects the given pipe length, dramatically increasing the durability of the pipe system. This means that flow security is not compromised or negatively impacted, and gives you:
- U values of just 0.5-5.0 W/m2K.
- Built-in moisture protection in every pipe
- Simplified logistics, leading to significant savings
- Fast and problem-free installation
- One welding pass per joint
- Optional concrete weight coating
- Exceptional durability
Single pipe can be laid from a barge quickly and easily, without problems. Pipe sections can be joined with a single welding pass, as only the carrier pipe has to be welded. LOGSTOR's joints are designed for quick and easy installation. Due to the built-in pipe moisture protection, it is not necessary to seal joints. Customer-specific joints may also be installed.
LOGSTOR's single pipe systems have undergone extensive testing to verify durability and reliability, including:
- Water impregnation test
- Creep test
- Axial shear strength
- Trawling bucket impact test
Moisture protection is tested at a pressure of 25 bar, while being exposed to temperature cycles of 15-110 °C. The ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards lay the foundation for the manufacture of all LOGSTOR pipes and components. These are accompanied by complete documentation showing compliance with the relevant quality standards.
The specifications for LOGSTOR's single pipe systems can be varied and adapted precisely to the heat insulation characteristics required by the given offshore pipeline, including optimisation of:
- Insulation thickness
- Yield capacity
- Weight coating
- Pipe lengths
- Joints
