Red painted device where the 50 mm x 50 mm high strenght wear resistant steel plate (AR500) was positioned (in the circle). The image presents the target, positioned 100 meters far from the gun, after the shot and the projectile did not penetrate in the plate, and not even affected the material surface, as will be presented in the other figures.

Macroscopic aspect of the crack in the valve ring surface. A leakage was detected during testing after 6 months out of service and the inspection identified several transverse cracks in the forged ring. The valve was installed for one year, but it was not drained during the time it was out of service. The cracks were located in regions that were rusted and presenting a biological fouling.
