Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

Gas piping.  Aspect of a branching line 2" ND, lateral to a horizontal main pipe ND 8", welded using a weldolet. The cracking started at the margin of the weld in the upper part of the pipe, where the weld crossed the longitudinal direction of the pipe, perpendicular to the branch.
