Neutral pH Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) has been found on a number of Canadian gas transmission pipeline systems. This paper details laboratory studies which have been carried out to investigate the growth of pre-existing SCC clusters under simulated field conditions. The influence of various environmental parameters will be discussed.
