Abstract

Means are described for raising by a factor of about three the allowable cyclic pressure provided by a high pressure fatigue machine for fatigue testing of thick-walled tubes. Fatigue test results are given for 7.9- and 6.4-mm high pressure tubing of 316 (Unified Numbering System [UNS] S31600) stainless steel, crosses, tees, and seals.

Keywords:
fatigue (materials), tubes, high pressure tests, fatigue of high pressure tubing, fatigue of high pressure crosses, life of high pressure seals
