Development of a theoretical framework for investigation of compensation possibilities of deviations in the ship’s piping system

Abstract

The improving technology of ship piping systems at the design stage is an actual problem. The authors have analyzed technological features of manufacturing ship piping systems and have also considered the current state of design, manufacture and installation of ship pipeline issues. The review of research in the field of compensation of deviations of pipeline routes is presented. The problem of improving technology of ship piping systems at the design stage is considered providing the possibility of manufacturing pipes without measuring at the site. The authors have proposed the solution for the issue within studies of relationship of configuration and compensatory possibilities of pipeline routes. The authors are suggesting the idea of using straight pipes for moving the pipeline route to compensate for errors in the manufacture of pipes and the installation of tightly fixed connections of equipment, saturation products, etc., which ensures collecting the route without changing configuration of ready-made pipes. The proposed development allows to control and reduce at the design stage possible deviations that occur in the manufacture of pipes, to minimize the gaps assigned to the tracing of pipelines.
