The journal Nondestructive Testing and Diagnostics published an article entitled Determination of the degree of depletion of the structure and mechanical properties of selected components of main steam pipelines of power units, whose co-author is the Head of the Technical Diagnostics and Power Equipment Modernization Laboratory M.Sc. Dariusz Mężyk.
The article discusses the main factors influencing the failure frequency of pipeline systems of power units in domestic power plants and combined heat and power plants. Due to the operating conditions and the associated loads, the most important are the fresh steam pipelines, and mainly their shaped elements (elbows, tees, cross-pieces, steam mixers, main valves). The basic methods of assessing the technical condition of the main elements of pipelines using both non-destructive and destructive testing methods were listed. The article focuses on the results of the assessment of the φ= 508 x 20 bend (straight) section made of 10H2M steel taken from a reheated steam pipeline with a total operating time of approximately T = 280,000 hours.
