Description of Driving Event:
An explosion occurred at the test stand complex 500 at MSFC. The explosion was a result of a massive GH2 leak, which occurred in an underground 3.5 inch OD x 0.6 inch thickness wall schedule XX ASTM A106 grade B carbon steel line. This failure was the result of galvanic corrosion over a prolonged period of time and the application of high pressure gas to a resultant thin pipe membrane.
