The data generated in this project, in conjunction with the assessment procedures developed under PRCI project SIA-1-7, fill critical gaps in predicting the behavior of vintage girth welds. Cost-effective maintenance decisions can be made when integrity assessment can be performed with high confidence.
This report covers the work done over four PRCI funding years. The material property data and flaw characteristics from 19 girth welds for Pipe and Weld Tensile Strengths and Weld Strength Mismatch, Charpy Impact Energy,Flaw Characteristics as Reported by NDE, Observations about...
