This paper reports that laboratory and field work has been undertaken to identify an appropriate laboratory test environment for hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC)-resistance line pipe purchase specification purposes. Field hydrogen permeation measurements were made on several sour service line pipes to determine surface concentration variation of diffusing hydrogen atoms with time. Laboratory hydrogen permeation measurements were made on specimens of line pipes exposed to several candidate HIC test environments.
