What is Leak vs. Rupture in Gas Pipelines about?
This document discusses establishing thresholds for leak versus rupture in low-stress gas transmission pipelines. It analyzes corrosion, cracking, and third-party damage at different hoop stress levels using fracture mechanics, full-scale testing, and incident data. The analysis found: 1) Thresholds for corrosion and cracking are above 40% specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) based on testing and analysis showing these threats do not cause failure. 2) Corrosion thresholds were conservatively set at 35
