After cutting the pipe and opening the crack, the fracture appearance shows a clean fracture, flat, starting from the margem of the weld of the pipe (right side of the figure), and propagating through wall into the pipe (aproximately 5 mm thickness). The external side of the pipe is to the right side of the figure (presenting the weld finishing) and the internal side of the pipe is to the left side of the figure.
