Abstrakt: Quality and structural integrity of welded pressure equipment are defined by The Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC). The problem is complex, due to welded joint imperfections, matching effect, heterogeneity of microstructure and material properties. Equipment can be fit for service with defects unacceptable by codes, what should be proved by fracture mechanics approach, especially for cracks in the heat-affected-zone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
