Long-term creep and fatigue damage are the main degradation mechanisms that can eventually lead to cracking, leakage, or rupture in critical high-temperature fossil plant boiler and turbine components. The rate of creep-fatigue damage accumulation depends directly on actual plant operating conditions, but plant staff need a way to access that operating data and convert it into creep-fatigue usage, all in real time. Creep-FatiguePro©, a real-time creep-fatigue monitoring software system developed by Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SI) and licensed by EPRI®, automatically tracks creep-fatigue usage and transients in these key components using existing plant instrumentation, delivering an immediate, up-to-date, and continual assessment of creep fatigue usage in piping and other components. The most recent version of Creep-FatiguePro is Microsoft® Windows®-based and user-friendly, configured to reside on a dedicated personal computer. Creep-FatiguePro is available from SI under EPRI license.
