The article discusses electron beam welding for connecting pipelines. This approach has been reviewed in the literature. The technology of creating flange connections in the oil and gas industry is considered. The analysis and selection of the most suitable equipment for the creation of permanent joints of complex structures has been carried out. Thus, a literature-patent review of the current state and methods of using electron beam welding for various designs and control methods has been carried out. The analysis of the subject area showed that there is equipment, in particular, the TETA 6E400 installation and a turntable for creating such connections in the area under consideration. The proposed approach will improve the quality of flange-pipeline welded joints and reduce the cost.
