Remaining life assessment using API 579

Static equipment and piping are designed for a certain design life, often 25 years. During this prolonged use, the material may deteriorate even when the system is used correctly as a result of: Creep due to prolonged loading under high temperature Corrosion and erosion due to the process medium fatigue due to cyclic operation or […]
