Abstract - DWTT (Drop Weigh Tearing Test) is one critical method that can exhibit the fracture properties of line pipe steel, since it estimates the properties with real pipe steel. In this study, the ductile portion, inverse fracture ratio and absorbed energy of API X65 and X70 line pipe steels were estimated with temperature variation. Both steels showed that the ratio of ductile area and absorbed energy were decreased with respect to decreasing the test temperature. However, while the ductile fracture behavior exhibited until -40 ℃ for the X70 steel, but it showed until -30℃ for the X65 steel. The fracture properties were discussed with respect to test temperatures.Key words : linepipe steel, DWTT, absorbed energy † I. 서 론 최근 천연자원이 개발되면서, 실생활에 밀접하게 영향을 주는 원유와 천연가스의 생산지로부터 소비지로의 수송이 중요하게 대두되고 있다[1-8]. 현재는 많은 양의 원유와 천연가스 (특히 천연가스는 LNG로 액화시켜 공급)가 선박 수송 및 라인파이프강(line † 교신저자:jsphb@hanbat.ac.krpipesteels) 을 통해 공급되고 있다. 하지만, 천연자원의 매장량의 일부는 극지방과 같은 한랭지, 심해저 등에 매장되어 있기 때문에, 이러한 지역의 자원들은 선박으로 수송하는 것은 한계가 있다[1,7,9]. 그러므로 라인파이프강을 통한 공급 개발이 증가하고 있다. 그에 따라서, 원유와 천연가스의 수송효율을 높이기 위해, 고압에서도 잘 견디는 높은 강도의 라인파이프강을 요구하고 있고, 많은 양의 원유와 천연가스를 수송하기 위해 배관의 크기는 점점 커지고 있다.KIGAS Vol. 16, No. 3, June, 2012(Journal of the Korean Institute of Gas)
