Fracture Control of Line Pipe

This standard covers line pipe supplementary fracture toughness requirements to control crack propagation at temperatures above 0°C in carbon steel pipe used for off-plot transportation piping, such as cross-country pipelines, flowlines, trunklines, and testlines, as defined in SAES-L-l00. The requirements apply to line pipe with wall thicknesses of 6.35 mm to 38.1 mm (0.25 to 1.5 inch), 6-inch or larger NPS, in accordance with API SPEC 5L 01-SAMSS-035, 01-SAMSS-332, and 01-SAMSS-333.
