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

Abstract This work proposes a sampling inspection framework for point measurement non-destructive testing of pipelines to improve its time and cost efficiencies. Remaining pipe wall thickness data from limited dense inspection are modelled with spatial statistics approaches. The spatial dependence in the available data and some subjective requirements provide a reference for selecting a most efficient sampling inspection scheme. With the learned model and the selected sampling scheme, the effort of inspecting the residual part of the same pipeline or cohort will be significantly reduced from dense inspection to sampling inspection, and the full information can be reconstructed from samples while maintaining a reasonable accuracy. The recovered thickness map can be used as an equivalent measure to the dense inspection for subsequent structural analysis for failure risk estimation or remaining life assessment.

As widely recognized in the industry, it is important to evaluate the creep damage of an elevated temperature vessel so that the mechanical integrity of the vessel can be achieved through the adequate repair and replacement planning. This is quite straight forward procedure for internal pressure vessels. For an external pressure vessel, it is not easy to assess the creep damage due to the complexity of the creep buckling analysis. Eventually, creep cavity evaluation technique without identifying the correct stress distribution has been used so often. However, due to the uncertainty of the technique itself plus conservative mindset of the inspectors, it tends to leads to an excessive maintenance most of the cases. In order to conduct a reasonable remaining life assessment, it is desirable to use the creep cavity inspection in conjunction with another assessment technique such as FEM creep analysis as stated in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 10.5.7. In this paper, comprehensive approach with FEM and field inspection such as creep cavity evaluation to reinforce the uncertainty of each method will be demonstrated.

<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>

This paper examines many aspects of structural auditing, including visual examination, non-destructive testing, core sample, and testing. It also emphasises various building repairs and retrofitting procedures that should be employed after a structural audit. As the structure matures, it need frequent maintenance and inspection in order to avoid further damage. The health and performance of a building are dependent on its maintenance quality. In order to protect the structure from environmental effects, it should be monitored on a regular basis by a professional. As a result, a structure audit is performed to assess the overall health of the building. A structure audit is a preliminary technical survey performed on a structure to recommend repair solutions.

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in retaining rings of generators has been a major issue since large generator manufactures started to advise generator owners to replace and inspect retaining rings made from certain materials in the mid 1990’s. KEMA has been inspecting generator retaining rings with automated systems from the seventies on. Since 1995 new developments led to the possibility of also testing rings in situ, eliminating the need of removing the rotor from the stator and thus saving considerable down-time. Over the years, step by step improvements to the system and its application to generator retaining ring inspections have been implemented, one of which is the use of smaller probes and manipulators. Another improvement is the implementation of eddy current testing (ECT) to increase the detection capability for cracking at the outside surface in parallel to the automated ultrasonic testing (AUT). Experience obtained with this method contradicts some of the common ideas about reliability of other Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, in particular the application of Dye Penetrant inspection (DPI) which appears to be less reliable. By performing fracture mechanics calculations to evaluate detected and sized flaw indications, predictions of remaining life of the rings can be made (Fitness-for-Purpose analysis). This paper presents results of applying the in situ retaining ring inspection system in the last 14 years and gives an overview of cases — some of those from recent inspections — where defect indications were detected, sized and evaluated. In some cases this resulted in recommendations to replace the retaining rings.

Acoustic Emission (AE) is a proven successful Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method to assess the state of storage tank floors. Traditional AE source location in tanks floors is performed using only the wavefronts that have traveled directly from the source to the sensor (direct hit). The wavefronts captured after reflected from the tank walls are identified and discarded. This paper proposes a new AE source location algorithm in tanks that considers a combination of reflections and direct hits. The proposed algorithm is based on time-reversed acoustics and ray theory. The methodology uses the concept of time-reversed acoustics in which a wave detected at any location can be directed back to the source when re-created at the detection place. Therefore, the developed approach takes the time at which each wave arrives to the sensor and sends it back as if time had reversed. Ray theory is used in the methodology to account for the way in which the wavefront is reflected when encounters an obstacle such as the walls of the tank. Then, the point of intersection of all wavefronts is identified using an optimization algorithm. This point where all wavefronts intersect is considered the location of the source. The location algorithm considers the first path or direct hits from the source to the sensors combined with reflections obtained by wavefronts bouncing from the tank walls. The proposed location algorithm was validated using numerical data from 176ft diameter tank and experimentally using AE data from a tank 55ft diameter.
