Cm - Aspect by NDTDf - Cracking
Macrography of the 8" pipe, welded to a 2" fitting (weldolet), welded to a 2" flange. The branch line was operating in this position (horizontal line with a lateral branch) and the through thickness fatigue crack is associated to the margin of the weld in the upper part of the pipe.

Cm - NItal Etched MacroDf - Cracking
Micrography of a section tranverse to the pipe and to the weld between the 8"pipe and the 2" fitting weldolet. The crack starts exactly at the margin of the weld and propagates in the pipe longitudinal direction, in a straight line, not related to any metallurgical aspect.
