I am struggling to write a program which will calculate the require pull force for given increments through out the pipeline installation.
Right, string 1 is 525m in length and will be pulled 55m from chainage zero before it enters the pre-drilled hole.
Once the string has passed chainage zero it will be submerged in Bentonite, denoted by w.sub_e_bent, before the pipe is pulled past chainage zero I is situated on conveyors, therefore the in air pipeweight is multiplied by a friction factor and the length left on conveyors.
If anyone can understand my problem and help iy would be much appreciated.
Regards
Mike
