Description

Since the nuclear industry is dramatically increasing the amount of non-destructive examination for erosion-corrosion, managing the large quantity of data arising from these examinations has become a key issue. Westinghouse's PC-based Corrosion-Erosion Monitoring System (CEMS) takes wall thickness data from standard nondestructive examination devices and creates tables and 2D and 3D plots of worn components, makes component life predictions, and evaluates structural integrity. Reports are generated automatically. (author)
