The project addresses the integrity of superheated steam pipes in power plants by implementing a continuous ultrasonic monitoring system called HotScan. This technology aims to detect weld cracks early, significantly reducing the risk of catastrophic failures and associated costs in both nuclear and fossil fuel sectors…
A typical electricity power plant of 500MW (both nuclear and conventional) has up to 4 kilometres of pipe work carrying superheated steam at pressures of up to 400 bars and temperatures up to 580 oC.
The extreme pressures produce hoop stresses in a pipe causing the pipe welds to creep continuously in time until weld creep cracks are generated which, if undiscovered, may grow until the pipe ruptures.
The pipes also suffer continuous cyclic loading through vibrations which produces fatigue cracks…
