Leak-Before-Break methodology applied to different piping materials: a performance evaluation

Show other versions (1)

This paper presents a study of the application of Leak-Before-Break (LBB) to nuclear piping using three different materials. Based on the fracture mechanics, the LBB concept considers that a leakage from a crack can be detected before it reaches a critical size that implies the pipe failure, that i...
