Title: Fracture Mechanics Evaluation Of Girth Welds

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present to you a status report on the use of a fracture mechanics analysis to evaluate the suitability for service of welding defects in pipeline girth welds. I am sure that most of you are familiar with API 1104. which is the standard used throughout the world for the qualification of welding procedures, the welders, and the inspection and acceptance of the finished weld. The standard was developed by a joint committee sponsored by API and A.G.A., with representatives from the Contractors Association, the Pipe Manufacturers, AWS, and ASNT. The first edition was published in 1953. At that time, and, in fact, to this day, standards tend to be based on what is typical in the industry. In other words, a workmanship standard is adopted. What I propose to describe is another approach called fitness for purpose.
