The as-found weld flaw in the affected socket weld was evaluated based on a degraded cross-section methodology to demonstrate the acceptability of this condition, which formed the basis to seek relief from the NRC and allowed the time needed to design and install a structural clamp per ASME Section XI to ensure long-term stability of the welded joint. Recognizing the limitation of the in-house methodology and the need for a common methodology for resolutions to similar events associated with socket weld failures from across the industry, a flaw evaluation methodology based on Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, similar to the approach used in Code Case N-513 of ASME Section XI was proposed, along with new stress terms defined for socket welds. Finite Element models were developed for the bypass line socket weld to evaluate stresses in detail. Stress intensity factors were calculated for postulated semi-elliptical flaws along the shortest distance from the socket weld root to its surface, as an attempt to investigate the effects of the socket weld geometry on the weld strength. It is demonstrated that such an approach is feasible through the use of geometrical factors to account for the effects of the geometry on the stresses in the vicinity of the socket weld.

It is noteworthy that the crack growth rate of compact tensile specimens shows little variation under different hydrogen blending ratios, so we reasonably inferred that the possible reason for the obvious change in the morphologies of tubular and sheet-shaped specimens after hydrogen-induced failure is due to the shortened duration of the crack initiation process caused by the rising hydrogen blending ratio.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54946,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 105524"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143792518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
