Abstract

This article discusses two failures experienced in spiral-welded pipeline/piping due to stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking (SOHIC). The first identified SOHIC failure occurred in 1974, before the term SOHIC was coined. A second failure occurred in 1998 in the piping system handling aggressive sour natural gas liquid (NGL) service. The conditions leading to SOHIC failures and differences between the two failures are discussed. The influence of these failures on company standards is covered.
