Description

Outside diameter stress corrosion cracking (ODSCC) has been observed on steam generator (SG) Alloy 600HTMA tubing during in-service inspection. There is tendency for the cracking to be parallel to the axis of the tube. To prevent ODSCC tube burst due to internal pressure and maintain structural integrity, robust model to estimate burst pressure is required. These models should be validated on the basis of burst test data. This paper presents experimental burst test results with stress corrosion cracked SG tubing. The results were compared with the existing burst pressure models.
