In order to study the influence of different types of weld defects, such as slag inclusion, porosity, incomplete fusion, incomplete fusion, burn through, crack on the mechanical performance of X65 marine pipe welding joint (Φ323.9 x 16 mm), the test on the mechanical properties of static tensile, fracture toughness CTOD and fatigue life were carried out to achieve the maximal defect tolerance size allowed in this paper. Research shows that the existence of crack defects would significantly reduce the fracture strength and the fatigue life of welded joint, the application of the maximal defect tolerance size allowed based on crack defects assessment can provide referential basis for the safe and stable operation of marine pipelines.
