Abstract

Transverse to pipe axis cracks across the weld line of high frequency-electrical resistance weld (HF-ERW) pipes of IS 10748 Grade 2 and size 406.4 mm outside diameter and 7.75 mm wall thickness were observed. Analytical techniques such as ultrasonic testing, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy were used for analysis and determination of the root cause.
