Abstract:A significant amount of research and development has been carried out on the mechanism of the stress corrosion cracking of underground pipelines. This paper describes the results of a study, co-funded by PRCI, the US DOT, and pipelines companies, to bring together the results of these various studies in the form of a set of guidelines that will assist companies in identifying the most likely SCC locations on their systems and in predicting how frequently inspection or other mitigation is required. The guidelin… Show more
