Damage Control: Thermal Fatigue Detection

September/October 2020 Inspectioneering Journal

This article reflects the first in a series on damage mechanisms that will appear in this recurring Inspectioneering column entitled “Damage Control.” The inaugural topic discussed in this column is thermal fatigue.
Damage Management Locations (DMLs) – Connecting Inspection Data with Asset Lifecycle Management

July/August 2023 Inspectioneering Journal

Introducing the concept of damage management locations, together with remaining life estimates from CML data, offers a complete view for inspection planning.
Damage Control: Thermal Fatigue Mitigation

January/February 2021 Inspectioneering Journal

Thermal fatigue, a specific form of fatigue driven by varying metal temperature gradients and ensuing differential thermal expansion, is generally most effectively mitigated by reducing the severity of metal temperature gradients.
FFS Assessment of Aboveground Storage Tanks - Common Pitfalls and Case Studies

Sponsored Webinar Replay

Inspectioneering teams up with The Equity Engineering Group, Inc. to bring you "FFS Assessment of Aboveground Storage Tanks - Common Pitfalls and Case Studies," a one hour webinar presented by Kate Gustoff.
Damage Control: Stress Corrosion Cracking Assessment

May/June 2022 Inspectioneering Journal

Part 2 of the three-part series on stress corrosion cracking (SCC) that examines common engineering and FFS methods that can be leveraged to understand and evaluate the propensity for an existing form of SCC to lead to loss of containment.

Like all metal structures, pressure equipment and pressure vessels experience corrosion, distortion, cracking, and other damage that can inhibit performance and limit their useful service life.

In this Solving for Why video, mechanical engineer Scott Bouse describes how we performed a fitness for service assessment to project remaining service life and instruct a client's repair strategy.
