In order to explore the reliability of type selection in the design of lift pipe for underwater transport system in deep sea mining, hydrodynamic parameters were checked with transport indices as input for design. Based on the settling velocity of polymetallic nodules, anti-fatigue threaded sleeve of P110 steel, with outer diameter of 244.48 mm and wall thickness of 20.24 mm, was selected for lift pipe. And a towing test performed in a pool shows that the resistance drag coefficient is 1.4 for the lift pipe at the upper end of the pump and 1.3 at the lower end of the pump. Hydrodynamic parameters were calculated and analyzed for the underwater transport system according to working conditions and launching conditions, showing that the safety factor of lift pipe can meet the requirements of API RP 2RD Standard. In the deep-sea polymetallic nodules mining test project, lift pipe in the at-sea acceptance test, with reliable joint connection, could meet the requirement for each transporting parameter, which has verified that the type selection of lift pipe in the design is acceptable.
