Aspect of the internal surface of the 2" nominal diameter pipe, SCH 40, presenting a circumferential through wall cracking in the pipe, not associated to any of the welded joints. It is possible to see the cracking parallel to the two welded joints: the pipe to weldolet (left side of the figure); and the pipe to flange (right side of the figure).

Cm - Micrography by OMDf - Pitting
Aspect of a micrographic sample by scanning electron microscopy showing the external pipe surface, in the bottom, the fracture at the left side of the figure and several spots of pitting corrosion from the external surface. The polished section (transverse to the fracture and in a longitudinal section of the pipe) shows the morphology of the pit , 0.2 mm depth. Original magnification 50x.
