Corrosion Monitoring & Inspection Glossary - Y

  • Yield Pressure: The pressure at which the nominal hoop stress in the pipe wall equals the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe grade.

  • Yield Strength: The stress at which a material exhibits a specified deviation from the proportionality of stress to strain. The deviation is expressed in terms of strain by either the offset method (usually at a strain of 0.2%) or the total-extension-under-load method (usually at a strain of 0.5%).
