Drilling Riser Joints

The data specification for the riser joint properties consists only of the riser OD and wall thickness, the OD and ID of the various peripheral lines, and the amount and distribution of buoyancy material on buoyed joints. All of the required Flexcom inputs are then calculated from this data, in order to demonstrate the process and to provide an insight into the significance of these inputs. Calculation of Flexcom Input Data later in the example describes this process.
