Abstract:
Criteria to be satisfied in the selection of materials for unbonded flexible risers are first outlined. The paper then describes how three main types of thermoplastic and two classes of steel meet these requirements, and briefly discusses selection criteria and materials used for ancillary equipment for flexible riser systems
