Abstract

Leakage causes of branch pipe of unit thermal networks were discussed based on macroscopic observation, chemical composition analysis, metallurgical microstructure inspection, mechanical property tests, SEM and EDS analysis. The experimental results showed that frequent contact of outer pipe wall with corrosion media and thermal fatigue load led to early crack of the pipe. During compression test, the crack propagated under increased compression stress and burst finally. Suggestions were provided to prevent similar events happening.
