Service experience and life management: Nuclear, fossil, and petrochemical plants

This publication contains papers presented at four symposia conducted at the 1993 Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference in Denver, Colorado, July 25--29. The symposia titles are listed below: Service Experience and Reliability Improvement in Nuclear Plants; Service Experience in Operating Fossil Power Plants; Service Experience in Petrochemical Plants; Aging Management, Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics. These symposia were sponsored by the Materials and Fabrication and the Design and Analysis Committees of the ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division. The objective of these sessions was to disseminate information on issues and degradation which have resulted from the operation of nuclear, fossil, and petrochemical power plants, as well as related monitoring and diagnostic techniques. Individual papers have been processed separately for inclusion in the appropriate data bases
