Output/Checks
Did the selected WT for pipelines and flowlines satisfy all design
criteria (burst, collapse, etc) at all Water depths and load cases?
Did the selected WT for Structure piping satisfy hoop stress
criteria for the operation load case?
Will there be need for buckle arrestors for the pipelines and
flowlines?
Was the specific gravity check for the pipeline and flowline
satisfied with the selected WT?
