The failure analysis of a seawater fire protection system of oil and gas processing facility was observed in this paper. The fire protection pipe line & hull seawater filter were made of CuNi 90/10. Severe deep pits and fracture were observed at bottom of jockey pump spool pipe and hull seawater filter. Visual observation, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, x-ray diffractometry were employed in the present failure analysis. The oxygen exposure on CuNi 90/10 of Seawater Fire Protection system had a significant impact on failure and was exacerbated by the presence of chloride exposure.
