Abstract
The fracture of a low carbon steel high pressure pipeline used in an ammonia synthesis system was investigated using fractography metallography, mechanical property testing, and finite element analysis. The fracture initiated as a thermal fatigue crack followed by, brittle fracture caused by strain aging of the pipe steel.
