Crevice Corrosion in a Subsea System — Aspect Before Analysis

ASTM — sub-branches

Transverse section of the 14" pipe in the center of the 2" branch using a weldolet fitting welded to the main pipe.  The internal side of the pipe is to the top of the figure and the through wall fatigue cracking is located at the margem of the weld.  It is possible to see that it is a full penetration weld and the fitting thickness is several times larger than the pipe thickness.

Detail of the fatigue cracking, staring from the margin of the weld. The crack propagated though wall of the pipe (5 mm).  The larger thickness of the weldolet requires a large amount of deposited weld metal, about 20 mm that is 4 times the pipe thickness. It is an interesting aspect to be considered by designers.
