The PRCI Technical Committees have carried many research projects related to the subject of hydrogen embrittlement and the associated cracking. This report, therefore, presents a summary of past PRCI funded studies on the topic. Since studies sponsored by other industry groups (e.g., INGAA, EPRG, APIA, CEPA, etc.) or by individual pipelines companies may not included, this report does not represent a review of the topic in the broader industry-wide sense. Instead, it is designed to provide a guide to past work so that current Technical Committee members can iden-tify and locate project reports...
