Vertical piping in a corrosive oil producing system of a FPSO. The line is a nominal diameter 14" sch 10S (pipe thickness about 5 mm) and the flanged branch line is a 2" nominal diameter welded to the main pipe using a weldolet (forged fitting). The fatigue induced cracking occurred longitudinal to the main pipe, originated at the margem of the weld interface with the pipe.

Macroscopic aspect of the outer diameter of the flanged sleeve presenting adhered products at the surface. The flanged sleeve was manufactured by centrifugal casting in a lean duplex stainless steel and it was externally coated by thermal spray (TS) in a position of sealing. After 5 years in service the system suffered leakage.

Aspect of the male part of the coupling, a pin, presenting the thermal spray layer detachment (right side of the figure). The pin was manufactured in a superduplex stainless steel tubular forging; the external surface was partially coated by thermal spray and machined. The sealing is only elastomeric but a coating is required to avoid galling between the two materials of the coupling.
