Abstract:DNV-OS-F101 Appendix A provides procedures for the assessment of circumferential flaws located in subsea pipe girth welds using fracture mechanics methods, commonly referred to as engineering critical assessment (ECA). The purpose of the ECA approach is to provide critical flaw dimensions for given material properties and loading conditions in a conservative way. The results of the assessment are used to derive weld flaw acceptance (or weld repair) criteria to be used during pipeline installation. An ECA will … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
