WI2318a API Research on DCB testing of C110 DCB Testing of C-110 in Standard and Mild Conditions For Determination of Klimit WI TARGETS 1/ Define correct procedure of DCB testing 2/ Define acceptance criteria for compliance aspect (WI2348) 3/ Define threshold of K1SSC for C110 in mild sour environment to resolve informative SR39
WI2318a API Research on DCB testing of C110 • New Plan for 2013-2014 study at OMNI (budget 180 kUSD) 5 commercial pipes donated from 3 vendors
DCB Testing • New specimen design (crack tip matches base of chevron). • Careful preparation & HRC testing (6 readings per specimen). • 3 arm displacements with 4 specimens per displacement. • New bath time for mild tests (17 days in bath, no 3-day hold). • Each group of 4 divided between two tanks. • H2S analyses: Standard: Tank 1: 2812 ppm Tank 2: 2796 ppm Mild: Tank 1: 183 ppm Tank 2: 189 ppm
DCB Testing (cont.) • Avg. temperatures of all 4 vessels within 0.3 °F of standard 75 °F. • Mild test liftoffs all within 2 hours. • Tests inspected for validity: # of Invalid Tests Defect Mild Standard Short or No Crack 2 2 Edge Cracks 2 17 Non-Planar 0 1

Study on C110 Kissc & Klimit in Weak H2S Solutions • USS work from Jan 2012 • comprehensive presentation “Studies on C110 Critical Stress Intensity Factor (K1ssc) in Weak H2S Solution” illustrating in particular the non linear relation of K1ssc vs H2S partial pressure and same for K1ssc vs arm displacement within various mild environments. • + update june 2013 • K1ssc & Klimit = a ln [H2S] +b • High [H2S] => solution is governing • Low [H2S] => microstructure is governing
DCB Data C110 -Heat #2 United States Steel Corporation
K limit in 7.0% H2S Solution NACE A sln 32 ksi in-2 31 ksi in-2 United States Steel Corporation
K limit in 99.5% H2S Solution NACE A sln 24.7 ksi in-2 24 ksi in-2
Klimit In Various H2S Solutions (NACE A sln) K limit approximately follows a power law relationship with H2S concentration, which is similar to the trend of KISSC as seen in Slides 7 & 8
