abstract = "Structural life of welded pipes made of API J55 steel by high-frequency (HF) welding has been evaluated. Experimental tests of base metal mechanical properties, including fatigue properties, were conducted on pipes after 70.000 hours of service in an oil drilling rig. The fatigue crack growth rate and fatigue threshold is obtained using the pre-cracked Charpy specimens. The number of cycles to the final fracture is then calculated using initial and critical crack depths. Based on the number of cycles to the final fracture and the remaining fatigue lifetime of pipes with axial outer surface crack are determined. It was shown that the remaining fatigue lifetime is more sensitive to the changes in the stress range than to the initial crack depth.",
