The morphology of API steel pipe fracture surface may have characteristic dimples. Thus we may finally say that piping system development is typical for ductile mode of fracture. This is because piping system development is clear visible on the left side of micrograph and the depth of dimples will reflect ductility of piping system development. Thus, it can be suggested that this ductile mode of API steel pipe is caused by austenite as well as lattice. However, in some nations piping system development is characterized with rather flat surfaces that might assist cleavage plane in ferrite. This mode of API steel pipe fracture surface morphology can be used to confirm the complex microstructure which consists of ductile lattice austenite. In fact, the less ductile ferrite can be used in piping system development with the help of similar morphology of fracture. At the same time, API steel pipe surface could be expected in case of carbide or low alloy steel.

On the other hand the aim of low alloy steel heat treatment is featured by isothermal quenching in the microstructure. This is because steel pipe system consists mostly of ferrite and a relative small amount of austenite. In terms of the quantitative evaluation, piping system development can be carried out due to the relative volume of ferrite and carbon stabilized austenite. It would means that API steel pipe can be produced at relative small proportion of the first phase. The fracture morphology could differ a little from the tensile elongation of the steel since piping system development is widely used to quantify material stocks. The bottom-up approach in piping system development can be integrated inventories of the most relevant products in use.

This is because the metal concentrations are quantified to calculate the overall API steel pipe metals stock. The top down approach can be computed by using historic production as well as trade data. It is estimated for a long product lifetime distributions although bottom up studies offer more detail about piping system development. The different API steel pipe reservoirs can be combined with the top down approach so as to provide information on the historic development of the piping industry.

Although the quality of the micrograph is rather poor, these are scanned from original API steel pipe production. It is evident that steel pipe structure consists mostly of mixture plate made from acicular ferrite and some amount of austenite in piping system development. To do so, we need to quantify the historic development of all major iron flows and reservoirs the essential approach to evaluate the sustainability of API steel pipe resource management. The reservoirs can be computed by using available government and industry statistics for piping system development.
