High-Energy Piping Lifing Techniques
When performed correctly, lifing provides a heads-up on potential high-energy piping problems. This new SI Webinar outlines lifing procedures, concentrating on high-temperature main steam and hot reheat piping systems. Pre-inspection evaluation topics include SI's Vindex© risk-ranking methodology; piping stress analysis; creep or creep-fatigue life fraction calculations; and MPC OmegaPipe Analysis. Post-inspection evaluation topics cover correlation of microstructural damage levels with Life Fraction Consumed and NDE detection sensitivity; fracture mechanics-based creep or creep-fatigue crack growth analysis; MPC OmegaPipe Life Assessment; and metallurgical plug sample analysis to refine analytical life predictions.
