Read MoreDuring a major statutory inspection of a 150MW steam raising boiler, cracks were found at the stub tube-to-header fillet weld of both the secondary superheater outlet header and the reheater outlet header. These cracks extended in some instances up to halfway through the tube wall thickness. The extent of the cracking precluded immediate and widespread repair and so an engineering solution was

Read Morecracking is topical and is receiving increased in- dustry concern and attention. The Reference 6 paper, and EPRI Project No. RP-1890-6, in pro- cess, address this subject in detail. Case 2 This example addresses internal circumferential cracking in tube connectors at a superheater outlet header. The cracking was found to exist just below
Read MoreWith the unit off-line, the boiler was vented and drained while the forced draft and induced draft fans were left on to cool the boiler and allow access for inspection and repair. Initial inspection found Cyclones 1, 2, and 6 relatively clear of pluggage while Cyclones 4 and 5 were plugged with ash. The cyclones were vacuumed and inspected.

Read MoreA boiler tube cracking failure from caustic embrittlement corrosion in boilers or oil ash corrosion can be found with boiler tube testing and failure anaylsis. Tube failure analysis and tube testing is well suited for heat exchangers like steam turbine condensers or shell and tube heat exchangers.

This was the first known creep related terminal tube failure on Unit 1. During this forced outage, more bulged and swollen tubes were discovered. In addition, several minor cracks in the tube

Read MoreThe failed tubes were reportedly found to be weeping during an operating pressure hydrostatic test, performed after a repair of another boiler component. The failure analysis indicated that the 304H tube leakage was due to stress corrosion cracking. The cracked tubes were studied and found to have undergone sensitization due to either welding
