Hydrogen blistering is caused by
atomic hydrogen collects in a discontinuity & combines to form molecular hydrogen
Atomic hydrogen is
released during sulfide corrosion
Hydrogen blisters that form at different depths can cause
cracking between the blisters
HIC (Hydrogen Induced Cracking) that occurs between hydrogen blisters at different depths in the metal may appear as
stair-step cracks
SOHIC (Stress Oriented Hydrogen Induced Cracking) usually occurs
in the base metal adjacent to the heat affected zone
SCC (Sulfide Stress Cracking) occurs as a result of the combined action of
tensile stress and corrosion in the presences of water and H2S
Where does SCC (Sulfide Stress Cracking) typically occur
High hardness areas
Which of the following materials is susceptible to Wet H2S damage?
A) Only C.S.
B) C.S., low alloys (chromes), and 300 series S.S.
C) C.S. and low alloys (chromes)
D) all materials
C) C.S. and low alloys (chromes)
The rate of hydrogen diffusing into steel is minimal at
7 pH
Hydrogen damage can occur when the system has liquid water and dissolved H2S greater than
50 wppm
Hydrogen damage can occur at temps
between ambient and 300°F
To minimize the potential for SSC, the hardness in C.S. should be less than
200 HB
To minimize the potential for Hydrogen Blistering, what is the max hardness allowed in C.S.
Hardness does not affect hydrogen blistering
Hydrogen blistering and HIC are strongly affected by
presence of inclusions in the steel
Which of the following does not reduce the chance for Hydrogen Blistering or HIC?
A) Use of "clean" steels
B) PWHT
C) Select high-nickel alloys
D) Maintain a pH of 7.0
B) PWHT
Which of the following in the process stream increases the probability of Hydrogen Blistering or HIC?
A) Cyanides
B) Polytheonics
C) Napthenics
D) Chlorides
A) Cyanides
Which of the following should not be used to inspect for Wet H2S Cracking?
A) ACFM
B) SWUT
C) RT
D) WFMPT
E) PT
F) EC
E) PT
