Summary
This literature review examines manufacturing and joining techniques for thin-walled metallic pipes used in high-pressure cooling systems, with particular application to high-energy physics experiments. The authors compare established and novel methods for producing small-diameter pipes that combine low mass with reliable high-pressure operation, identifying gaps in current knowledge and proposing further research directions to expand the use of such pipes across industrial cooling applications.
UK applicability
As a materials engineering and manufacturing methods paper, findings may have relevance to UK physics research infrastructure and precision manufacturing sectors, though the record falls outside Vitagri Pulse Brain's primary scope of food systems and nutrition research.
Key measures
Manufacturing techniques, joining methods, pipe diameter, wall thickness ratios, pressure tolerance (up to 100 bar), mass considerations
Outcomes reported
The paper reviews and compares manufacturing techniques and joining methods for small-diameter thin-walled pipes (diameter <20 mm, diameter-to-wall-thickness ratio ≥20) used in high-pressure cooling systems. It identifies knowledge gaps and research directions for improving reliability and mass minimisation in industrial applications.
