Importance measures in ranking piping components for risk informed in-service inspection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Risk informed in-service inspection aims at prioritising the components for inspection within the permissible risk level thereby avoiding unnecessary inspections. Various methods have been evolved for prioritisation, in which the importance measure approach has gained a wide popularity. This paper presents an importance measure that can be employed to prioritise components of any dimension, which is normally required from the point of view of carrying out a risk informed in-service inspection of nuclear power plants.

A comprehensive framework for evaluation of piping reliability due to erosion-corrosion for risk-informed inservice inspection
Risk-Informed In-Service Inspection (RI-ISI) aims at prioritizing the components for inspection within the permissible risk level thereby avoiding unnecessary inspections. The two main factors that go into the prioritization of components are failure frequency and the consequence of the failure of these components. The study has been focused on piping component as presented in this paper. Failu...

متن کاملEnhancing offshore process safety by selecting fatigue critical piping locations for inspection using Fuzzy-AHP based approach
Topside piping is the single largest source of the hydrocarbon releases (HCRs) on the offshore oil and gas (OOG) platforms in the North Sea region. Consequently, if the leaked hydrocarbons from the process pipework are ignited, it may lead to a catastrophic event, thereby causing significant economic losses, environmental damage, and posing serious threat to the safety of the onboard personnel....
متن کاملWeld Overlay Examination Using Ultrasonic Phased Array Technology
Weld overlay of piping was first used as a method to repair components of simple configurations which were known to contain cracking. An adequate ultrasonic examination of these geometries can be achieved by using a few conventional search units. Currently the application of pre-emptive weld overlays as a mitigation technique and/or to improve the examination surface condition for more complex ...
