Thoroughly explains the principles behind
Asset Loss Risk, an approach where expenses are controlled by
identifying, then focusing on, those pieces of equipment most at risk of
breakdown.
Particular emphasis is placed on
controlling corrosion. Also described is process corrosion (featuring an array
of mechanisms), management of change, and condition assessment.
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. |
