Probabilistic life assessment of steel components used in power plants
Description
Presented life assessment of steel components used in power plants is based on probabilistic methods of the theory of reliability accepted in the International standards ISO 9324, 13833 and ISO 13823. An example of quick-closing valves in a selected hydroelectric power plant illustrates general principles of the reliability and life assessment of steel components for a given model of corrosion. It appears that the probabilistic methods provide rational background information for assessing remaining working life of the components and planning their regular maintenance. The required target reliability level is a key question that remains still open. (orig.)
