Inspection Technologies for Boiler Tubing
Careful planning is essential for successful boiler tubing inspections, and this recent SI Webinar discusses exactly how to ensure that all inspections proceed as anticipated. Topics covered include defining what you're looking for and where to look; identifying optimal inspection techniques for each damage mechanism; qualifying inspection personnel; providing inspection support functions and preparing the area to be inspected; defining acceptance criteria; and developing a contingency plan for either additional analysis or immediate repair. SI's Webinar also emphasizes the importance of properly documenting every inspection as part of a fossil unit's record.
