... swivel joint which successfully passed a long life test equivalent to a 10-year maintenance-free period (considering 1 offloading a week). These are 7 years of development and 30 000+ hours of engineering which rose up the technology readiness level high enough for the deployment of the FMC ATOL on field...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents the development of a High Pressure Multi-Path (HPMP) Swivel Joint suitable to equip a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit for the transfer, through a rotating system, of fluids at high pressures and high temperatures. The work mainly includes...

... of these low-temperature media. Therefore, besides the special offshore LNG loading system introduced by this paper, many different offshore LNG loading systems (see Fig. 1) have been developed.(1) (2) (3). One system for example uses the well-known swivel joints of ductil steel which are also used in onshore...

... consisting of a fluid carrying piping system stiffened with pinframed or rigidly connected structural members on one or more of its basic components. At least six swivel joints in the fluid-carrying piping allow the arm to be maneuvered from a stored position to and within an operating envelope. The all...

... at a proportionately increased rate. One method presently employed to load and unload liquid cargo is by use of marine loading arms. These arms, consisting of rigid pipe and swivel joints, form a mechanism between vessel and dock which compensates for ship';s movement while transferring the product. Currently...
