Description

Mechanisms of Pipeline Environmentally Assisted Cracking (EAC):

  • Definition of SCC/environmentally assisted cracking (EAC)
  • Failure distributions
  • High-pH (Classical) SCC
  • Low-pH (Near-neutral pH, non-classical) SCC
  • Stages of cracking
  • Three factors – tensile stress, corrosive environment, susceptible material
  • Role of coatings and CP
  • The latest thinking from SCC R&D
  • Risk Management and SCC
