What is An Analysis of Crack Extension by Corrosion Fatigue in a Crude Oil Pipeline about?
Corrosion fatigue subcritical crack extension was found to be the most likely cause of four service failures in an 864-mm (34 in) diameter and 7.14-mm (0.281 in) wall thickness crude-oil pipeline. The results of examination of the failures are summarised and a fracture mechanics analysis of corrosion fatigue crack extension in the pipeline, from initial defect to critical size, is presented. The analysis is based on fatigue crack growth rate data measured in crude oil, saturated with H2S, and an operational pressurefluctuation spectrum in the pipeline, acquired from the pressure records at pump station discharges. The additional effects of frequency of shutdowns and hydrostatic pressure tests are considered. The fatigue crack growth lives are calculated for various depths of initial defects.
