The Ninety Nine Diseases of Pressure Equipment

摘要

This is a follow-up paper about the ninety-nine leading types of degradation, flaws and defects that can and do occur, causing failures of pressure equipment in the hydrocarbon process industry. For the sake of continuity, the first and second parts, presented as NPRA RMC-05-83 and RMC-06-94 during the previous two years are included in this paper (Part 3). A series of articles on this topic is currently running in the Inspectioneering Journal(1), progressively outlining all "99 of the most common diseases of pressure equipment". This NPRA paper outlines all the "diseases" that have been published to date in the Inspectioneering Journal.
