Predictive Corrosion and Failure Control in Process Operations |
| by P. F. Timmins, 220pp, 1996, ISBN: 0871705818 |
 |
This book
provides inspectors and engineers with an approach to
predictive control of corrosion in chemical processing
industries.
This
approach is based on ranking the risk of possible
losses of capital equipment due to corrosion.
The
maintenance, inspection and operations activities can
then be organized to keep their focus on those pieces
of equipment that are considered to be at highest risk
of corrosion failure. |
|
| Assigning such a
hierarchy to the equipment, based on this Asset-Loss-Risk
concept, allows maintenance and inspection costs to be reduced
and overall plant profitability to be increased. |
| Fracture mechanics
is discussed at great length in terms of cost benefit and
methodology covering specific applications such as cast irons,
cast and wrought steels, pressure vessels, pressure tubes,
stress maps, and failure assessment diagrams. |
