ETD’s forthcoming Webinar (Free Registration)
Power & Process Plant Boat Sampling and Quantitative Life Assessment of High Value Critical Components
Speakers:
Dr Ahmed Shibli, Director
European Technology Development Ltd. (ETD), Leatherhead, Surrey, UK
ETD is a UK based technical consulting company providing complete power and process plant inspection and condition/ life assessment services to clients worldwide. In addition to the on-site plant services ETD has developed a number of guidelines for plant inspection, life assessment, boiler/HRSG and turbine preservation, flexible operation of fossil power plants, boiler tube failure management, P91 and P92 issues etc. ETD has also developed procedures and software such as CRACKFIT for crack assessment in industrial components, especially in boilers and turbines; BLAS (Boiler Life Assessment Software) and more.
ETD and its associates, such as KMTL and CRIEPI in Japan, have developed tools such as innovative portable electrical discharge ‘boat sampling’ equipment and procedures for creep and fatigue testing of miniature and ultra miniature specimens, and for quantitative life assessment of critical components in high temp. plant – non-destructively. Such components can include thick section piping, pressure vessels, rotors etc. Such quantitative life assessment can give years of extra safe remaining life of critical components which otherwise may be scrapped if estimates of remaining life are merely based on minimum design strength data, thus saving millions.

In this Webinar we will discuss issues involved in high temperature plant inspection, monitoring and life assessment, including some of the unique innovative techniques that we have developed through years of R&D in collaboration with our international industrial partners. We will also talk about our current work for a power utility where the steam turbine has reached the end of its design life and the client wants to know if its life can be extended beyond the design life. Apart from its NDE inspection we will be cutting out the EDSE samples from 12, 3, 6 and 9 O’clock positions (to keep the rotor balance) from both the hot and cold ends and machining out mini-Charpies and mini-compact tension specimens (CTS) from the EDSE samples for determining the rotor Fitness-for-Service (FFS) and life extension.
