The Effects of Erosion-Corrosion on Power Plant Piping National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors

<<Major failures have occurred in piping due to single-phase or
wet-steam erosion-corrosion, resulting in injuries or loss of life as well as extensive plant downtime. Both nuclear and fossil power plants as well as petrochemical plants are susceptible to erosion-corrosion. Causes, possible corrective actions, where to look in susceptible systems, optimum nondestructive examinations and analytic techniques to predict remaining life are covered. >>

Solon Flange Washers
Draco Mechanical Supply, Inc.

<<Solon Flange Washers and Flange Disc Washers are special high
temperature Belleville Springs which were developed by Solon Manufacturing in 1968. Solon Flange Washers are designed to maintain sufficient bolt tension and resultant gasket pressure by compensating for bolt creep, gasket relaxation and differential expansion during pressure and temperature changes.>>

3-D Design (Piping)
Cadalyst Magazine

<<In complex piping system design, 3-D scale models are
constructed for conceptualization and communication to minimize such problems. However, these physical models are costly, time-consuming, and difficult to rearrange if design changes occur...Let us say that we are designing a pumping system. In 2-D computer-aided design (CAD), a system would be represented with a large-scale plan view and one (or, in some cases, many) elevation views. Each of these views is drawn from scratch as a separate, unrelated drawing. This requires much checking back and forth to ensure that each elevation view is an accurate and consistent portrayal of the plan view.>> Received on Mon Oct 15 12:49:00 2001
