Remaining Life Assessment

Petromaster has established expertise in the life assessment of components from petrochemical and power plants operating in the creep regime.
The assessment of remaining life of high temperature components generally requires creep analysis, which is very sensitive to temperature. In most cases limited data on operating temperatures is available, however, in steam plant the thickness of the protective internal oxide layer provides a good indicator of thermal history. Using ultrasonic techniques, from the outside of tubing, we are able to measure wall thickness and the deposit thickness nondestructively and from this infer tube metal temperature.
