文摘This paper proposes an estimation method of fracture resistance of oil & gas pipes, based on the results of full scale hydraulic pressure pipe testing with the artificial notch, made by the authors at 2002-2006. It shows that the fracture process at the stage of stripping (initialization) of crack can be characterized by Critical Fracture Diagram (CFD). Calculating and experimental way to construct CFD is suggested and discussed. The fracture resistance requirements for oil & gas pipes in terms of fracture mechanics (Kc, Lc) are formulated and proved. The results of full scale hydraulic pressure pipe testing, based on metal testing data of the standard Charpy specimens (KCV) and pipe's specification requirements are interrelated. The way to estimate the admissible temperature operation conditions of oil & gas pipes by means of based metal "KCV-temperature" dependence is proposed.
