Abstract
Submarine pipelines are an industry rapidly changing in innovation and technological advances and developments, particularly in challenging operation conditions and deep water applications. Integral buckle arrestors have proved to be an essential device to limit damages induced by a propagating buckle and to reach and ensure very high performances both during the pipelines laying and the service life. New forged integral buckle arrestors are applied especially in case of large diameters and high wall thicknesses and under extreme external load conditions. Their main goal is to guarantee and improve the integrity of the offshore pipelines. After a brief description of the status of the art, the objective of this paper is to show the efforts in progress to better satisfy the requests of the oil & gas industry. The paper analyses the manufacturing steps to obtain the final product including material, forging and mechanical machining processes, intermediate and final tests and inspection.
