Aspect of the piping cut in the longitudinal direction, presenting the leakage region close to the welded joint between the pipe and the 90° elbow. The original SCH 40 (3.7 mm thickness) presents an actual average thickness of 2 mm all through the piping extension, evidencing a general thinning. See the schematic drawing in the next figure.
