LMF2: Understanding of Welds and Welded Component Behaviour in High-Temperature Plants

• 2-Days Online Training Course
• This event is due to take place On-Line (From London)
• Dates: 13-14 June 2023

This 2-days course will run for 3.5 hours each day with 30 minutes optional Discussion Session at the end of each day. During the Discussion Session attendees can put their videos and microphones on and speak to the Course Presenter or to each other to exchange their experience. This way the course can be as close to the in-person event as possible!

The Course would emphasise the current and latest understanding, supported by notes and references for further reading and will be accompanied by Worked Examples.

Event Programme

Power Plant Inspection and Condition- Conventional and Innovative inspection and assessment methodologies

Specific Topics

ETD experts with many decades of plant experience and development of new technologies and methodologies for power and process plant asset management, who have also written a number of Guidelines for industry in Europe and North America, will discuss in detail some of the specific topics shown below:

⦁ RBI/RBM (Risk-based Inspection/ Management),
⦁ RCM (Reliability Centred Maintenance),
⦁ Power Plant Cycling/ Flexibility Issues,
⦁ Plant Benchmarking and Cost Analysis (both for the base-load and cycling plant),
⦁ Issue of crack initiation and growth in high temp. plant under creep and /or fatigue conditions, Assessment of cracks and ETD’s Crackfit software,
⦁ ETD’s EDSE (a portable spark erosion machine) for safer ‘boat’ sampling,
⦁ SFM (Scanning Force Microscope) for early-stage damage detection – especially in P91 and P92 components,
⦁ Aberrant P91 and P92 found in high temp. plant components, its detection and how to deal with it,
⦁ Full and partial Weld Repair,
⦁ High temp. strain gauging,
⦁ ‘Smart Sleeve’, ETD’s portable precision hardness tester,
⦁ Developments in NDE techniques (LFET, BFET, Potential drop, Electromagnetic–EM etc.) reducing time of inspection and increasing the inspection area coverage.
