Lateral buckling
Pipeline lateral (snake) buckling — DNV-RP-F110
Ask Deckhand to check a line for lateral (snake) buckling under high pressure and temperature, to DNV-RP-F110.
What you can ask it to do
- Screen a line's susceptibility to global lateral (snake) buckling under HP/HT.
- Estimate buckle spacing and the feed-in into a buckle.
- Flag where mitigation (sleepers, buoyancy, snaking) is needed.

Questions
What is lateral buckling?
A high-pressure/high-temperature line wants to expand; where it is unrestrained on the seabed it relieves that load by snaking sideways into lateral buckles. DNV-RP-F110 governs the global-buckling design.
What does Deckhand return?
A susceptibility screen, an estimate of buckle spacing and feed-in, and a flag where mitigation is needed.
