The recent introduction of K_initialto the TM0177 Method D test method is explained and discussed. The reporting of K_initial allows end users to calculate an equivalent NACE K_ISSC from DCB results that would be considered "off spec." when considering NACE or API test requirements. If the crack path and surfaces are valid, you can still get some information from the test.
