An Overview of 'Remaining Life Assessment' of Steam Boiler through Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing

摘要

Steam Generation is the basic requirement for the successful running of any fertiliser, petrochemical and power plant etc. Therefore the condition of the Boiler from safety and reliability points of view should be assessed and ensured before starting-up the same at suitable intervals. An attempt was made in April 2000 to carry out the Remaining Life Assessment (RLA)study of 18 year old Boiler generating 80 T/hr steam, as described in this article.
