Pressurized Equipment Technology for Aging Plant Part 1 Pressurized Equipment Technology for Plant Engineers Sections Formulating an Inspection and Test Plan. Factors affecting the life of boiler components. The practical application of a boiler inspection. Summary of risk based inspection philosophies. Diagnosis of boiler tube failures. Pressure vessel " diseases."  more...

Risk Based Inspection Its utility is based on the rough premise that 10% of the equipment in a process contributes 90% of the risk. Consequently, if this 10% of the equipment can be identified, testing and inspection can be focused on it rather than low-risk items. This approach is clearly preferable to the usual method of treating all equipment equally, regardless of its risk contribution.  more...

Diseases of pressure vessels This module covers the degradation mechanism associated with in-service metallurgical aging. A lot of unexpected failures can be prevented if more people know about and understand the a afflictiona of pressure equipment, why they happen and how to prevent them from resulting in failures  more...

Plant degradation mechanism for aging plants an essential skill for Risk Base Inspection As operating pressure plants age, premature leaks or rupture are increasingly likely. Mechanisms such as corrosion, creep, fatigue, the possibility of cracks emanating from damaged areas could lead to dramatic consequences. It is fundamental to understand degradation mechanisms, their likelihood of occurring in the facility and the impact that they may have on the facility. This intensive  more...
