metengr,
Thanks for your comments. That means we can not reach a conclusion just based on the radial ridges, right? When I saw the radial ridges, I thought they may suggest fatigue related failure.
Guys, please take a look at the attached photos and help me answer the following questions.
Was the fracture caused by fatigue? Is it possible that the fracture is caused by stress corrosion cracking?
Thanks a lot.
I am selecting pipe materials for 50% Calcium Bromide and hydrogen bromide. Can any one with experience recommend the materials suitable for these service?

How to determine the hydro test pressure of a dissimilar welded pipe system (carbon steel to 2.25Cr-1Mo).
According to ASME B31.3, the test preussre can be determined by Pt=1.5*P*St/S. Now we have two values for the hydro test. Which one we should use, the lower one or the higher one?
Thanks.
Maximum Operating is 440 DegC. Looks like 304 should not be used, right?
Do I need to specify that 321SS should be stabilized? How about the solution treated 321SS?
I have a heater which is in hydrogen service. The maximum design temperature is 520 DegC. Can I use 304 SS at this temperature? Or do I need to select stablized 321 SS for this service?

What does trim 8 mean?
The wedge surface should be 13Cr and base metal equal to or better than body materials; The body seat surface should be hard faced and base metal equal to or better than body material. Am I right?
Thanks.
