20、gas recovery are resulting in an increase worldwide in the number of fields considered sour. This in turn is leading to an increasing demand from oil companies for steels resistant to sour conditions. Flow lines or gathering pipelines in sour fields may be transporting crude oil or natural gas conta

21、ining significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and water. Additionally, there is increased recognition of the importance of sour operating conditions in pressure vessels and structural steel work. On steel, the presence of water with H 2 S can cause corrosion. Atomic hydrogen generated by the

22、 corrosion reaction can be absorbed into the steel and lead to cracking of the product. Cracks on adjacent planes may link up to form through thickness steps and in some instances surface blistering may occur. Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) occurs without applied stresses. The test described in thi

23、s European Standard is not intended to duplicate service conditions, nor show how a material will perform in service. It is an accelerated corrosion test designed as a reproducible procedure capable of evaluating the resistance to hydrogen induced cracking. NOTE A draft Corrosion protection Carbon a

24、nd alloy steels for use in H 2 S containing environments in oil and gas production Materials requirements and test method being currently prepared by CEN/TC 262, Protection of metallic materials against corrosion, uses also the term step wise cracking (SWC). 1 Scope This standard specifies a method

25、of evaluation of the susceptibility to hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) of steel products with nominal thicknesses equal to or greater than 6 mm. NOTE This standard may be applied by agreement to products with nominal thicknesses lower than 6 mm. This standard does not cover resistance to other types

26、 of corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply. 2.1 sample a sufficient quantity of material taken from the product for the purpose of producing three test pieces; for example: ring in case of tubes, part of plates 2.

27、2 test piece part of the sample with specified dimensions, machined for submission to the test 2.3 section the part which is cut from each test piece after testing, metallographically prepared and examined in order to assess the cracking present. Three sections are taken per test piece 2.4 crack a m

28、ore or less planar void discontinuity in the steel 2.5 hydrogen induced crack a crack below and approximately parallel to the surface of the product, initiated and propagated by the action of hydrogen in the steel as a result of contact with a wet sour medium 2.6 separation between cracks the shorte

29、st straight line distance between two cracks 2.7 isolated crack a crack separated from the next crack by more than 0,50 mm, with a minimum length equal to or greater than 0,1 mm (see Figures 1 and 2) 2.8 crack system a combination of two or more cracks, each of which is within 0,50 mm of the next cr

30、ack (see Figures 1 and 2) 2.9 extent of cracking the magnitudes of the longitudinal and transverse components of a crack or crack system are referred to as the longitudinal extent of cracking E LC and the transverse extent of cracking E TC , respectively (see Figure 1). NOTE All hydrogen induced cra

31、ck systems have longitudinal and transverse components. 2.10 stepwise crack crack system in which the transverse component is equal to or greater than 0,1 mm 3 Principle of the method The method consists of exposing test pieces without any applied stress to a corrosive medium for a period of 96 h, f

32、ollowed by evaluation of the test pieces. The corrosive medium is a H 2 S saturated solution which may be either an acidified sodium chloride solution (test solution A; see 4.1) or a synthetic seawater (test solution B; see 4.2). Other intermediate solutions may also be agreed between purchaser and

33、supplier.Page 4 EN 10229:1998 BSI 1998 4 Test solutions 4.1 Test solution A The acidified sodium chloride solution shall be prepared by dissolving 50 g of sodium chloride (NaCl) and 5 g of glacial acetic acid (CH 3 COOH) in 945 ml of water. The initial pH shall be 2,7 0,1 before H 2 Si s introduced.

34、 4.2 Test solution B (synthetic seawater) To prepare 10,0 l of synthetic seawater, dissolve 245,34 g of sodium chloride (NaCl) and 40,94 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4 ) in 8 l to 9 l of water. Add slowly with vigorous stirring, 200 ml of solution B1 and then 100 ml of solution B2. Dilute

35、to 10,0 l with distilled or deionized water. Adjust the pH to 8,2 0,1 with 0,1 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution or 0,1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) before H 2 S is introduced (see note). NOTE Only a few millilitres of NaOH solution should be required. a) Solution B1 The solution shall be prepared by

36、dissolving the indicated amounts of the following salts in water and dilute to a total volume of 7,0 l: MgCl 2 6H 2 0: 3 889,0 g (= 555,6 g/l); CaCl 2 (anhydrous): 405,6 g (= 57,9 g/l); SrCl 2 6H 2 0: 14,8 g (= 2,1 g/l). The solution shall be stored in well-stoppered glass or other chemically inert

37、material containers for a time not exceeding 6 months. b) Solution B2 The solution shall be prepared by dissolving the indicated amounts of the following salts in water and dilute to a total volume of 7,0 l : KCl: 486,2 g (= 69,5 g/l); NaHCO 3 : 140,7 g (= 20,1 g/l); KBr: 70,4 g (= 10,0 g/l); B O 3

38、H 3 : 19,0 g (= 2,7 g/l); NaF: 2,1 g (= 0,3 g/l). The solution shall be stored in well-stoppered glass or other chemically inert material containers for a time not exceeding 6 months. 4.3 Volume ratio The ratio of the volume of test solution to the total surface area of the test pieces shall be betw

39、een 3 ml/cm 2 and 6 ml/cm 2 . 4.4 Reagent purity The purity of the gases shall be 99,5 % minimum per volume. All chemicals shall be of reagent quality. The water shall be distilled or deionized. NOTE The conductivity of the water should not normally exceed 5mS/cm. 5 Apparatus Testing shall be carrie

The basic equipment of the apparatus shall include the following: a test vessel and supports made of chemically inert material

41、such as glass or polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE); equipment to maintain the standard temperature during the test; devices to measure gas flow rates; a trap to avoid backstreaming of air which could give oxygen contamination of the test atmosphere. This could be, for instance, a vessel with sodium hydr

42、oxide solution to bind the surplus H 2 S. 6 Test Pieces 6.1 Location and orientation 6.1.1 Samples from which the test pieces will be machined shall be removed from the material to be assessed by any appropriate method. If the samples are flame cut, they shall be of sufficient size such that test pi

43、eces can be machined well away from the heat affected zones. 6.1.2 Three test pieces shall be prepared from the sample (see 2.1) with the main axis in the longitudinal or in the main deformation direction: a) for welded tubes test pieces shall be taken from weld and in an angle distance of 908 and 1

44、808 to the weld; b) for seamless tube test pieces shall be circonferentially staggered by 1208; c) for other product, location and number of test pieces shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order. 6.1.3 A method shall be used to maintain the identity of the test pieces. This identification sha

45、ll be made on one or on both small surfaces. 6.2 Size If not otherwise specified, the dimensions of the test pieces shall be as follows: length L = 100 mm 2 mm; width b =2 0m m 0,5 mm; thickness a = full material thickness less a maximum of 1 mm on each surface for products with nominal thicknesses
