Failure Investigation of Boiler Tubes: A Comprehensive Approach
Chapter 8: Remaining Life Assessment of Boiler Tubes
-
Published:2018
Abstract
The power generating industry has become proficient at predicting how long a component will last under a given set of operating conditions. This chapter explains how such predictions are made in the case of boiler tubes. It identifies critical damage mechanisms, progressive failure pathways, and relevant test and measurement procedures. It describes life assessment methods based on hardness, wall thickness, scale formation, microstructure, and creep. It also includes a case study on the determination of the residual life of a secondary superheater tube.
