Brittle Fracture
Charpy test results for steel plate obtained from failures of Liberty ships
revealed that plate failure never occurred at temperatures greater than the
20-J (15 ft-lb) transition temperature.
This transition temperature varies with the material and is not used as a
criterion.

This Table also inherently provides for a risk based approach by bringing
in service fluid, test fluid and pipe design operating stress parameters.
Case Study:
On the next page, the Material Requisition Form has certain boxes
marked off to indicate inspection needs. Not all marked boxes are
appropriate! Do you know which?

This stress analysis criteria establishes the procedure, lists critical lines
and piping stress/design liaison flow sheet to be followed.
Lines to be analyzed:
Paragraph 319.4.1 lists the conditions under which flexibility analysis may
be waived.
