From Process Safety Management to Pressure Relief Devices – Do We Ever Connect the Two?
Two groups within a processing plant rarely interact, but each has a vested interest in the reliability of pressure relief devices. The PSM group performs process hazards analyses (PHAs) to determine the required safeguards a process needs to meet the company’s risk target. A major safeguard for reducing risk is the pressure relief device (PRD), […]
High-Temperature Creep Assessment Methodology & Case Studies
FFS assessment of components operating at elevated temperatures in the creep regime can pose several challenges. The results of any assessment are highly sensitive to the key analysis inputs – stress, temperature, time, and material properties. Unfortunately, many times, historical operating process data is required to accurately capture these inputs, and the end results when […]
Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices to Expedite and Maximize the Value of Fitness-for-Service Assessments
FFS technology is used to optimize run, repair, or replace decisions for equipment containing flaws or defects. API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 (API 579) is the international code that provides Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 FFS procedures to assess various damage mechanisms. This presentation will provide the novice or intermediate experienced FFS practitioner an overview […]
