Creep of High Pressure Steam Pipe - Corrosion Inspection
- High-pressure steam pipe may be exposed to stresses above design and suffer high-temperature creep damage causing industry incidents with multiple fatalities and major consequences.
- Field metallographic replication (FMR), magnetic particle testing can only detect creep damage on the outer surface, not a volumetric assessment.
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) phased array can easily be field deployed to investigate volumetric creep damage and corrosion in areas of concern in steam pipes.
