[0002] Oil and gas pipelines are the lifeblood of energy, but they are flammable and explosive, making pipeline transportation safety a public safety issue. The development, extraction, and transportation of sour gas fields both domestically and internationally often contain a certain amount of H2S gas. This process can easily lead to hydrogen-induced cracking damage in pipelines, severely impacting their service life. Therefore, crack prediction and control in hydrogen sulfide-containing conditions are of utmost importance.

[0003] The threshold stress intensity factor (TSIF) is the maximum stress intensity factor at which a cracked body does not experience delayed fracture. Using this factor can effectively assess the safety of pipes in service. However, existing conventional hydrogen-induced cracking testing methods have several problems: first, they cannot fully meet the requirements for theoretical model verification and key parameter correction; second, measuring the TSIF requires a large number of experiments; and finally, conventional hydrogen-induced cracking testing methods can only simulate conditions under simple loading conditions and are difficult to match with actual field conditions.
