Materials and fabrication costs for these facilities are very high and subject to broad fluctuation. For these reasons, builders have been looking at materials that are less costly to...

Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact tests are the most widely used method for characterizing material toughness in steel applications. While the CVN method is both cost-effective and efficient, CVN data is limited when it comes to performing fitness-for-service or remaining-life calculations. Correlated data between Charpy and other fracture tests are used together for these purposes, but...

The EWI Strategic Technology Committee (STC) for Oil & Gas is an industry-based group that works to identify gaps between current technologies and industry requirements. Each year, the STC selects, funds, and executes research projects to meet and address the technology development needs of member organizations and the industry as a whole. Current programs of...
