Abstract |
This report describes a test method for determining the susceptibility of pipeline steels, bends, flanges and fittings, including all associated welds, to hydrogen damage caused by exposure to wet hydrogen sulfide. The method involves exerting a known stress level on a full ring specimen of the linepipe in a hydrogen sulfide environment; crack initiation and propagation are determined by ultrasonic monitoring and hydrogen permeation measurements. |
