In many i~idustrialapplications it is of s e a t technical and econoxical
importance to have sree! pipes with a guara-anteebexternal c~llapsepressure; for
example, the collapse of a casing tube (see Figme i j inside an oil well i;sually

z severe envirofixenta: accident. Hence, the oil industry is ncrezsirgly
demanding zzsicg products for which the manufacturers guarantee a rnini~crn
performance, which is measued via the external pressure collapse test; those
tu5ular products are known as high collapse casings.
Fay the reliable produc~ionof high coihpse casi~gs 2 suingent process control
procedcre has to "s estab;ished. The design of this process control procedwe is
based on 2 detailed knowledge of the effect 3f several factors that a n enhance or
dircinish the externai coilzpse presswe of tl~bularproducts, e.g. external s ~ d z c e
shape, wail rhickness distribution, circumferential residua! stresses, etc.
The externa; collapse p-esswe of very thin steel pipes is governed by
classical elastic buckling fonnulzs ('Zmosheriko arid Gere, 7331;B n s 5 and
Aimsth, 1975); however, for rhicke: pipes mbre involve? elasto-plastic
co~siderationshave to be taken into accocnt. There are =any fzctors that kave
