Embodiment Construction
[0055] The present invention relates to a length of metal pipe and a method for its manufacture.
[0056]Typically, during wellbore related operations, such as drilling, the flexible metal tubing is subjected to cyclic loading and various pressurizations due to repeated coiling and / or uncoiling from a reel. The number of coil-up and uncoil cycles without failure (such as a rupture or other leak) can be an indication of the life of the metal tube. When a crack initiates and propagates in flexible metal tubing, premature failure typically occurs near the strip-to-strip weld. Crack initiation may be due to certain stresses and strains as well as welding defects. The present invention describes a section of coilable metal tubing that has a cut profile at the strip-to-strip weld to aid in resistance to fatigue stress and strain states, while having a short weld length to reduce the likelihood of defects. In metal tubes, metal strips are known to be welded in simple straight cut p...
