Boiler Tube Lifing
Boiler Tube Lifing — the evaluation of serviceability and remaining useful life of a boiler tubing section — is a useful means for identifying problematic tubing prior to failure. When performed correctly, lifing allows staff to develop go/no-go thresholds for emergency inspections; provides data to support future outage planning and scheduling; and supports improvements in component design and unit operations. This new SI Webinar describes the rationale behind lifing and presents an integrated lifing approach that includes life prediction based on stress and operating condition analyses; nondestructive examination; materials evaluations; instrumentation and monitoring; and data management.
