Integrity Assessment

We offer the assessment of boilers, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, pressure piping and tanks for continued safe operation by:

  • Assessment of localised wall thinning due to corrosion or erosion in excess of the design allowance in accordance with AS/NZS 3788.
  • Assessment of cracks or other planar or cracklike defects in accordance with AS/NZS 3788.
  • Assessment of the acceptability of flaws in metal structures in accordance with BS 7910.
  • Assessment of in-situ postweld heat treatment for damage due to self weight, wind, thermal gradients and creep deformation.
  • Determination of the maximum allowable working pressure and temperature limited by reduced wall thickness, weld defects, corrosion, erosion, cracks, gouges, leakage, bulges, dents, metallurgical damaged material or when operating conditions have changed.
  • Determination of the safe remaining life limited by fatigue, creep and wastage.
  • Evaluation of continued suitability for service of tanks in accordance with API 653. (Click here for an example)
