Abstract
This paper reports the crack growth behavior of pipeline steels in near-neutral pH environments. Crack growth data both from laboratory tests using compact tension (CT) specimen and from full scale tests of shallow cracks were analyzed using a true corrosion-fatigue model established recently. It has been found that the crack growth rate can be correlated with ΔK2Kmax/fα, where ΔK is the stress intensity factor range; Kmax is the maximum stress intensity factor; f is the loading frequency; and α is a factor related to corrosivity of soil environments. This correlation enables determination of threshold ΔK2Kmax/fα values for long cracks such as in a test using CT specimen. The above growth correlation appears also true for small/shallow cracks in full scale tests except that small/shallow cracks were found to grow at appreciable rates below the threshold of long/deep cracks. Implications of the growth model to crack growth occurring in the field and pipe integrity management were also discussed in the paper.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
