Acceptance criteria for structural evaluation of erosion-corrosion thinning in carbon steel piping

Creators

Description

The paper presents an acceptance criterion for structural evaluation of erosion-corrosion thinning in carbon steel piping. This criterion is currently being considered for implementation into Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. This evaluation method was developed as a result of a failure of the Surry Unit 2 reactor feedwater piping, and subsequent NDE evaluations showing wall thinning in several other Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) feedwater piping systems. 11 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs
