The paper also refers to recently published technical report API 932-C. This technical report covers results...

... process medium, the construction materials of the coke drums, and the structure features of the vessel. The main characterizations, the crucial influencing factors, and the control measures are put forward as well. Based on some inspection examples of coke drums, the causes of typical failures...

... service life. While a corrosion allowance aids when managing uniform corrosion losses, this is not the case for pitting, damage within crevices, stress corrosion, and high temperature-related cracks. To manage these losses, service experience and meticulous inspections, among others, are needed...

... Abstract The fully-wrapped carbon fiber reinforced cylinders with an aluminum liner are currently the most common high-pressure hydrogen storage tank for vehicles. However, it is difficult to detect it by traditional detection methods effectively. X-ray digital radiographic inspection...

... Abstract For the last 50 years, inservice inspection (ISI) of passive components, i.e., vessels, piping, etc., has played a pivotal role in maintaining the safety of the current nuclear fleet. The original inspection programs were designed on a sampling strategy, where a sampling of similar...

... Abstract The ASME Post Construction Standards Committee was formed in 1995 in response to an identified need for recognized and generally accepted engineering practices for the inspection and maintenance of pressure equipment after it has been placed in service. In 2020, the Committee marked...
