Abstract
Fracture control technology has been developed to control brittle and ductile fracture initiations as well as fracture propagation in gas pipelines. The approaches developed forty years ago remain in use today for fracture initiation control, but not for ductile fracture propagation control. Different methods have been proposed for high-strength pipeline steels. This includes the two-curve model, simplified equations, corrections, correlations, alternative fracture criteria and finite element methods. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on fracture control technology and development for modern and vintage gas transmission pipelines with critical discussions and recommendations.
