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.

Aspect of the broken shear pin that was manufactured in a martensitic stainless steel forged bar, machined with the external diameter of 50mm, the internal diameter of 20mm and the shearing diameter of 25mm (shearing thickness 2.5mm). The fracture, in the right side of the figure, is not fully flat as should be expected for a shearing mechanism.

General view of the 2" branch line that was supporting an instrument in a 12" gas piping of an offshore unity. The branch line is composed by a seamless pipe welded to a weldolet (left side of the figure) and to a flange (right side of the figure). The leakage is associated to a through wall cracking in the middle of the pipe length. The cracking is not evidenced in the figure, since it is too thin. See the schematic drawing in the next figure
