Case Study: These lines, which are operating in about 500 Completion Risers Joints for more than 3 years exposed to a mixture of seawater, mud, oil and eventually products of acidification in the annular space , have shown good performance except for an unusual case of cracking of the Nitronic stab.
The need for galling resistance in corrosion resistant stabs of hydraulic lines determined the selection of Nitronic 60 alloy as the material to be joined to 316 SS tubing by autogenous orbital GTAW process. These lines, which are operating in about 500 Completion Risers Joints for more than 3 years exposed to a mixture of seawater, mud, oil and eventually products of acidification in the annular space, have shown good performance except for an unusual case of cracking of the Nitronic stab.
Keywords: Nitronic 60, galling resistance, 316 steel, stress corrosion cracking, stagnant conditions
This paper describes use of through-wall radiography to produce the information required to determine the integrity of corroded piping, and includes examples of its use in various situations.

Currently, a number of fracture mechanics-based methods are available for crack assessment. In this paper, a critical review is given to failure assessment diagram (FAD), in particular the API 579-2000 fracture mechanics assessment method for crack-like flaws. Illustrations, arranged by applicability to field examples, demonstrate the approach.
UNS N04400 cladding on steel valves can corrode during marine service. The uniform corrosion rate of an EN coating in artificial seawater was measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and was found to be less than that for N04400. The main conclusion is that an EN coating could be a viable solution to repair N04400-clad valves in-situ.
