Abstract: This paper describes a research programme which was designed to study certain aspects of unstable shear fracture propagation in gas transmission linepipe. In particular it was necessary to evaluate divergencies between several existing analyses in predicting toughness levels to give fracture arrest in large diameter pipes. Consequently a series of nine full scale experiments was carried out according to a factorial design involving the parameters impact value, hoop stress level and diameter. The programme was proposed and sponsored by a group of European pipe manufacturers and gas transmission companies (EPRG) and also the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and was conducted by British Gas Corporation.
