Typical subsea cryogenic pipeline designs consist of two coaxial pipes, or Pipe-in-Pipe (PiP) concept. Some designs add a secondary containment (third pipe) to create the so called Pipe-in-Pipe-in-Pipe (PiPiP) concept. The inner pipe transports the cryogenic fluid, the annular space provides the necessary insulation properties and the outer pipe(s) offers protection from the external environment (pressure, corrosion, impacts). 2, record 1, English, - pipe%2Din%2Dpipe%2Din%2Dpipe
