Performance of a 48-in. Warm-oil Pipeline Supported on Permafrost
An experimental pipeline loop, 2000 ft (609.8 m) long and 4 ft (1.22 m) in diameter, was constructed on the Mackenzie Valley Pipe Line Research Limited test site near Inuvik, N.W.T. Oil at 160 °F (71 °C) was circulated through the loop from February 1971 until January 1972 and performance of the con...
