Abstract
The design evaluation conclusions obtained by computer aided engineering design system analysis are subjected to field testing. Finite element method calculations of stress distribution and the strain energy absorbed in the flexible connection pad are considered. The evaluation of this field test compares performance characteristics between field environment wet welds and laboratory wet welds. This project compares impact tests; static load tests; hardness analyses; macro and microstructure studies. The operational characteristics of underwater welding on tubular tee flexible pad connections in the field versus laboratory conditions are also compared.
