The measurement of feedwater heat exchanger degradation by correlating in-service monitoring using vibratory sensors and off-line inspection using the sonic pulse method

Description

This paper summarizes the work performed on Feedwater Heaters which were monitored using vibration sensors from October 1982 to December 1983. The heaters were inspected using the Sonic Pulse Technique at mini-outages during the same period, and four heaters were dissected during 1984 to compare actual to postulated damage
