A major objective of this program is to provide data that can be used to formulate recommended revisions to ASME Section XI and regulatory requirements for inservice inspection of piping and pressure vessels. This study presents calculations of the growth of piping flaws produced by fatigue. Flaw growth was predicted as a function of the initial flaw size, the level and number of stress cycles, the piping material, and environmental factors.
