## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL NOTED THAT NR 3 CYLINDER INTAKE PIPE WAS LOOSE AT CYLINDER.  FOUND INTAKE PIPE BROKEN ABOUT 45 DEGREES AT THE FLANGE.  REPLACED PART WITH A NEW INTAKE PIPE.  OLD INTAKE PIPE HAD BEEN CHROMEPLATED BY UNKNOWN SHOP.  SUSPECT HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT.  RECOMMEND THAT INTAKE PIPES NOT BE CHROMEPLATED.
