Factors Affecting Fatigue Life
Derating Factors for Welds
Bias 80%
Tapered Bias 50%
Mechanical damage
– Stress-riser conditions
CORROSION
Inhibited HCl
– Insoluble in HCL solutions; continuous
agitation
– Affect of additives may reduce inhibitor
performance
– Spent acid more corrosive than original
formulation)
– Temperature (>275°F require use of
intensifiers)
– Mechanical vibration from oscillating tools
