T/CIET 1636-2025 The evaluation method for fracture toughness of hydrogen-transport pipeline steel
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the symbols, basic requirements, evaluation methods, test methods, and evaluation reports for the fracture toughness evaluation of hydrogen transportation pipeline steel. This document is applicable to the material research and development phase for assessing the crack propagation resistance of seamless or straight-seam submerged arc welded hydrogen transportation pipeline steel in a hydrogen environment; to the production inspection phase for verifying whether the batch-produced pipeline steel meets the service requirements in a hydrogen environment; and to the service safety assessment phase for conducting periodic testing and risk analysis of the residual fracture toughness of in-service hydrogen transportation pipelines.
