Only the Fittings Corroded while the Straight Pipe did not Corrode. Why?

Only the fittings in the intermittent service steel piping developed pits, and the straight pipe sections were unblemished. Why? The fittings had lower “residual elements” than the pipe. Seemingly minimal compositional differences can result in the preferential attack of steel components in services with acids – including in somewhat acidified water, like the pitted line shown. In some lines, the

Meticulous Preparation Averts Pigtail Drama

One hundred twenty pigtails required radiography during a turnaround. Inspections and testing must always be performed while minimizing site disruptions. During turnarounds, however, the stakes are even higher than during normal operations. So, how was the task accomplished? As a first step, the customer provided IRISNDT with mock-ups of the pigtail welds. IRISNDT personnel then experimented with different setups such

ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code Changes

Important Code Changes.  Our IRISNDT Engineering group highlights changes to the 2020 edition of ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code, to be enforced in the next year, which will impact fabricators and owners of existing piping: Until now, weld metal deposits needed impact test qualifications at minimum design metal temperature (MDMT) of -29°C (-20°F) or lower.  In the 2020 edition, the

Laser Paint Removal

To the eye, metal surfaces restored after removing coatings or paint with laser appear to be as good as sandblasted surfaces. Are they? To assess this, IRISNDT performed comparative tests all on one plate which had been originally media blasted and coated. Some sections of the originally coated plate were laser cleaned while others were media blasted before being recoated.

PIPING CML OPTIMIZATION

Condition monitoring Locations (CMLs) are used in plant process piping to provide long term metal loss trends in support of asset integrity programs. This presentation overviews the various ways these CMLs can be optimized to ensure that the condition monitoring program is effective for the process conditions, damage mechanisms, and risk. It is important that you have confidence that you
