Description

The paper summarizes a four-year program conducted for MITI on LBB applicability to carbon steel pipes. They conducted 28 straight pipe fracture experiments, and several elbow and tee cyclic loading to leakage tests. For the STS 42 carbon steel pipe investigated, it was concluded that the pipes reached limit load, hence elastic-plastic fracture analysis methods were not needed. As a final result of the program, it was concluded that the concept of LBB is applicable to carbon steel piping in LWRS. 7 figs., 5 tabs
