The notched cylindrical specimens were precharged in a 1 M H2SO4 solution + 0.25 g/l As2O3 for 3 h and 1.2 mA/cm2. Thereupon, hydraulic fracture tests were done under different ramps of pressure: 208, 100, 52, 35 and 25 MPa/h, respectively. Hydrogen content introduced into the notched cylindrical specimens (∼1 ppm) was determined by thermal desorption analysis (TDA), using a LECO DH 603 hydrogen analyser. Hydrogen damage was observed as testing time increased until 2 h. The burst pressure is reduced around 28 % while the Notch Mouth Opening Displacement decreased around 50 %. Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility is discussed through the hydrogen embrittlement micromechanisms.
