Full-scale fracture initiation test programme – Phase 1: Project execution plan

R&D Focus Areas:
Pipeline materials and performance

Lead Organisation:
University of Wollongong

Funding:
Future Fuels CRC

Status:
Completed

Start date:
May 2020

Project summary description:
This project is the first phase of a full-scale fracture initiation test program. Full-scale testing of fracture initiation in hydrogen service will be an essential contribution to determining the safe operating window for high-pressure steel pipelines in hydrogen service. This project reviewed options for conducting full-scale initiation tests, and provide a project execution plan for subsequent project phase(s).
