Safety assessment on girth welds of large-diameter X80 pipelines in water network area by Yuqing LIU, Zhenyong ZHANG, Shengsi WU, Beilei JI, Hong ZHANG, Xiaoben LIU

“…If the critical Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) is taken to be 0.25 mm in the current standard, and the level-1 assessment curve is adopted, the welds of X80 pipeline in the water network area are always in a safe state. If the level-2 assessment curve is used, the X80 pipeline weld is in a critical safe state when the critical CTOD is reduced to 0.08 mm and the settlement displacement takes the maximum value of 1 m.…”
