<p>Application of standard for remaining life assessment at boiler tube of steam powered electrical generator unit by<br />non-destructive test (NDT), up to now has been very important. The condition of boiler tube used in electrical<br />generator in Indonesia has reached its design limit and even some of them have replaced. This research used nondestructive<br />test methods by SNI, JIS and API standard and was conducted at boiler unit II in Indonesia, that has<br />already in 25 years operated. This method consists of several technique approaches that are: replica methods<br />(microstructure), hardness test, outside diameter measurement (OD), and wall thickness measurement. After<br />assessment and analysis, the results of non destructive test methods showed that the remaining life of boiler tube<br />is 100.000 to 120.000 operation hours.</p>

The demand of remaining life assessment of the boilers arises from technical, economic, and legal reasons. Creep is major damage mechanism of primary superheat tube boiler during prolong operation at high temperature and pressure in a water tube boiler. This paper presents the calculation method for the remaining life assessment due to creep damage. The service-exposed primary superheat tube made of 2.25Cr-1Mo steels. During scheduled inspection, wall thickness measurement, metallographic investigation by replica technique, design data and operating condition were used to estimate the remaining life in the form of creep damage accumulation rate calculated from life fraction using Larson-Miller Parameter. The results indicate that the primary superheat tubes satisfy in extension service life. By attaining an accurate and timely discussion of the results, the engineer can manage the maintenance and inspection schedule for the critical part in the boiler.

LPG Storage Tank berkapasitas 50 Ton yang telah terinstalasi dan beroperasi sejak tahun 2010 akan dikaji kelayakan dan sisa umur pakai dari pressure vessel tersebut. Metode pengujian yang dipergunakan adalah Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) - Ultrasonic Testing (UT) pada bagian shell dan head untuk mendapatkan nilai actual thickness dari pressure vessel serta dilakukan Visual Examination. Nilai thickness tersebut dipergunakan untuk menganalisis dan mengkalkulasi thickness required (Treq), nilai Corrosion Rate (CR), Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) serta umur sisa (Remaining Life) dari LPG Storage Tank tersebut. Dari hasil analisa serta perhitungan maka didapat umur sisa pakai dari LPG Storage Tank kapasitas 50 Ton adalah 18 tahun dengan nilai laju korosi sebesar 0,043 mm/thn

Composites are being used in variety of applications ranging from defense and aircraft structures, where usage is profuse, to vehicle structures and even for repair and rehabilitation. Most of these composites are made of different laminates glued together with matrix for binding and now-a-days fibers of different types are embedded in a composite matrix. The characterizations of material properties of composites are mostly experimental with analytical modeling used to simulate the system behavior. But many times, the composites develop damage or distress in the form of cracking while they are in service and this adds a different dimension as one has to evaluate the response with the damage so that its performance during its remaining life is satisfactory. This is the objective of the present study where a hybrid approach using experimental results on damaged specimens and then analytical finite element are used to evaluate response. This will considerably help in remaining life assessment-RLA- for composites with damage so that design effectiveness with damage could be assessed. This investigation has been carried out on a typical composite with carbon fiber reinforcements, manufactured by IPCL Baroda (India) with trade name INDCARF-30. Experimental studies were conducted on undamaged and damaged specimens to simulate normal continuous loading and discontinuous loading-and-unloading states in actual systems. Based on the experimental results, material characterization inputs are taken and analytical studies were carried out using ANSYS to assess the response under linear and nonlinear material behavior to find the stiffness decay. Using stiffness decay RLA was computed and curves are given to bring the influence of type of damage and load at which damage had occurred.

The service life of thick-walled power plant components exposed to creep, as is the case with pipelines of fresh- and re-heated steam, depend on the exhaustion rate of the material. Plant operation at elevated temperatures and at temperatures below designed temperatures all relates to the material exhaustion rate, thus complicating remaining life assessment, whereas the operating temperature variation is a most common cause in the mismatching of real service- and design life. Apart from temperature, the tube wall stress is a significant variable for remaining life assessment, whose calculation depends on the selected procedure, due to the complex pipeline configuration. In this paper, a remaining life assessment is performed according to the Larson-Miller parametric relation for a ?324?36 pipe bend element of a fresh steam-pipeline, made of steel class 1Cr0.3Mo0.25V, after 160 000 hours of operation. The temperature history of the pipeline, altogether with the pipe bend, is determined based on continuous temperature monitoring records. Compared results of remaining life assessment are displayed for monitored temperature records and for designed operating temperature in the same time period. The stress calculation in the pipe bend wall is performed by three methods that are usually applied so to emphasize the differences in the obtained results of remaining life assessment.

The paper presents and compares the results on the reliability and remaining life assessment of a reactor (coxing box) from a petrochemical plant. The reactor shell is made of 16Mo5 (W1.5423) steel, with a thickness of 25 mm, plated with 3 mm thick X6CrAl13 (W1.4002) stainless steel. The assessment was made in two steps. For preliminary remnant life assessment, specifications of section VII of the ASME code was used followed by iRiS‑Thermo expert system. Further, experimental creep and metallographic replica analysis were performed. Results comparison of the two methods applied revealed a reduction of the preliminary estimated remaining live obtained using metallographic replica analysis. Based on the results obtained, the possibility to extend the service duration of the coxing box in the safety condition, using current process parameters, with of 20.000 hours was highlighted.

Abstract This article provides some new developments in elevated-temperature and life assessments. It is aimed at providing an overview of the damage mechanisms of concern, with a focus on creep, and the methodologies for design and in-service assessment of components operating at elevated temperatures. The article describes the stages of the creep curve, discusses processes involved in the extrapolation of creep data, and summarizes notable creep constitutive models and continuum damage mechanics models. It demonstrates the effects of stress relaxation and redistribution on the remaining life and discusses the Monkman-Grant relationship and multiaxiality. The article further provides information on high-temperature metallurgical changes and high-temperature hydrogen attack and the steps involved in the remaining-life prediction of high-temperature components. It presents case studies on heater tube creep testing and remaining-life assessment, and pressure vessel time-dependent stress analysis showing the effect of stress relaxation at hot spots.
