The design of pipelines to resist ductile fracture propagation has traditionally utilised semiempircal models based on Charpy V-notch impact energy. Recent full-scale fracture propagation tests have shown these methods to fall short in characterising the fracture behaviour of high strength steels such as Grade X100 and over. So, there is a general opinion that the Charpy-V fracture parameter exhibits some intrinsic limitations that preclude its use when high strength steels are considered. This paper focuses on the existing proposed methods to define the laboratory toughness of steels and on the limitations encountered when characterising the real ductile fracture propagation behaviour of high grade steel pipes.
