Ensuring Safe and Reliable Operation of High Energy Piping

摘要

In the mid-1980s the power industry experienced high energy piping (HEP) system failures that resulted in personnel injuries and fatalities, as well as damaged equipment and loss of power generation. Power industry leaders worked together with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Materials Property Council (MPC) to study HEP failures, to understand the causes and to develop resources for avoiding future failures.
