This extremely helpful resource explains how to construct and interpret operating stress maps for an alloy of given toughness and operating stress. The maps immediately show you if a detected crack is acceptable or not for the particular service conditions and geometry.
It also gives you the calculations to use with the operating stress maps that will enable failure control of through-thickness cracks and surface cracks in nuclear power equipment, sour gas gathering systems damaged by stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen induced cracking (HIC), and refinery plants.
