2. Stress corrosion cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_corrosion_cracking

   Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the growth of crack formation in a corrosive environment. It can lead to unexpected and sudden failure of normally ductile metal alloys subjected to a tensile stress, especially at elevated temperature. SCC is highly chemically specific in that certain alloys are likely to undergo SCC only when exposed to a ...

3. Fuel tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tank

   The average fuel tank capacity for cars is 50–60 L (12–16 US gal). [3] The most common materials for fuel tanks are metal or plastic. Metal (steel or aluminium) fuel tanks are usually built by welding stamped sheetmetal parts together. Plastic fuel tanks usually built using blow molding, which allows more complex shapes to be used.

4. Fatigue (material) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)

   e. In materials science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading. Once a fatigue crack has initiated, it grows a small amount with each loading cycle, typically producing striations on some parts of the fracture surface. The crack will continue to grow until it reaches a critical size, which ...

5. Fibre-reinforced plastic tanks and vessels - Wikipedia

   Fibre-reinforced plastic tanks and vessels. FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastics, also known as GRP, or Glass Reinforced Plastics) is a modern composite material of construction for chemical plant, pulp and paper mill, and food and pharmaceutical equipment like tanks and vessels. Chemical equipment that range in size from less than a metre to 20 ...

   Yapp, Plastic Omnium, Kautex, TI Automotive, and Yachiyo [5] occupy roughly 70% share of the global automotive plastic fuel tank market together. On the Chinese market, Yapp takes the lead with 30% market share. [6] [7]

8. Environmental stress cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_stress_cracking

   Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) is one of the most common causes of unexpected brittle failure of thermoplastic (especially amorphous) polymers known at present. According to ASTM D883, stress cracking is defined as "an external or internal crack in a plastic caused by tensile stresses less than its short-term mechanical strength".

   On June 20, PHMSA ordered Columbia Gas Transmission Company to do extensive repair to one of their gas transmission pipelines in the states of Pennsylvania and New York, after finding extensive wall thinning on sections of that pipeline system caused by external corrosion. Approximately 800 anomalies with wall thickness losses of greater than ...
