The previous occurrence of the event, held in Ostend in 2009, included an outstanding program of 125 papers written by technical experts from industry, academia, and government. Contributing authors came from 27 countries around
the world.
Building on this, the profile of the 2013 conference will give you the opportunity to discuss the latest developments within the pipeline industry.
Some outstanding papers have been confirmed for the conference, the pipeline industry’s premier high-level scientific and technical conference will again cover the latest research and its application to all aspects of pipeline design, materials, and welding. The topics covered in the 6th annual world-renowned multi-track event have been expanded to include materials for CO2 transportation, the achievements of the pipeline industry in China, and pipeline-inspection technologies.
The program will be broken down into the following 14 tracks:
- Track 1 – Damage modelling
- Track 2 – CO2 pipelines
- Track 3 – Corrosion assessment
- Track 4 – Design
- Track 5 – Girth-weld inspection
- Track 6 – Pipeline integrity
- Track 7 – Pipe materials (1)
- Track 8 – Pipe materials (2)
- Track 9 – Propagation and crack arrest (1)
- Track 10 – Propagation and crack arrest (2)
- Track 11 – Strain-based design
- Track 12 – SENT testing
- Track 13 – Testing and evaluation
- Track 14 – Welding.
During the conference, a topical workshop will also be run on the Numerical simulation of pipeline fracture behaviour using damage models. In addition, a trade exhibition will run during the conference to display products and services to an expected 250-300 delegates from the pipeline industry.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for companies wishing to raise their profile in the pipeline industry. For updates on the latest conference and exhibition information, please visit the sponsorship and exhibition tab on this website.
