Element’s 服务适能 (FFS) assessments help determine if your equipment is safe and fit for continued operation. 它可以防止故障,将风险降到最低,并消除昂贵的维修费用.  

评估程序由 Oil & Gas, Hydrogen, 发电、化工加工业等 完整性管理 并对承压设备的适用性进行评价. 

Element can evaluate the structural and mechanical integrity of a wide range of components to API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 international standards, 包括锅炉, HRSG, 压力容器, 化学反应堆, 储罐, 管道系统, 和管道. 从设计到退役, our 服务适能 assessments help you avoid brittle and ductile fracture and metal loss, 做出具有成本效益的运行-维修-更换决策, 并解决在组件生命周期中可能出现的问题.  

根据API 579/ASME FFS-1进行评估

Element routinely performs the API 579/ASME FFS-1 standard to assess the stability and propagation rates of different types of defects, 哪些可以在设计和服务的组件中找到. Our experts are qualified to Level 2 and 3 for NDT and metallographic replicas with specialist knowledge in 断裂韧性, 有限元分析, and 疲劳测试

我们的方法

设备可能存在缺陷, 成为受损, or aged so that it cannot be evaluated using the original 建设 codes. API 579-1/ASME FFS1 can be used to assess the equipment for continued operation. 它允许:

  • Thermo-mechanical analysis under operating conditions (temperature and strain): normal service, 瞬变, 可预测的异常或故障服务条件. 
  • Structural analysis under normal operating conditions aimed at the detection of anomalies (thickness reduction due to corrosion/erosion, subsidence/displacement of supports/anchors) to evaluate the further use and the need for any corrective actions
  • Design, design verification, faulted component assessment, and requalification.
  • Defects propagation rate evaluation and stability assessment for operating conditions according to recognized procedures and standards (API 579, BS 7910, DNV, NE R5, NE R6). 
  • Evaluation of structural inspection results and assessment of the severity of the detected flaws
  • 协助 失效分析 对故障情景的合理性进行调查和评估

Element的FFS评估服务

氢管道系统上的FFS

Element is working with customers in the feasibility assessment on the current pipelines network capability to transport H2 blended with natural gas.

im体育官方app下载:

在第一阶段, 该活动涉及材料证书的评估, 操作数据, 以及客户提供的项目文档. 如果需要, NDT replicas at field could be performed and once a clear data set has been carried out the ECA phase can start. 

根据参考标准和相关标准,如ASME B31.8、我的意思是.12, EIGA指南IGC Doc 121/14《im体育APP》, we run the ECA on the representative pipeline component and determine the predictive component life as well as its eligibility to H2 and natural gas transportation.

发电机转子固定环上的FFS

Element performs FFS testing on generator retaining rotor rings to avoid catastrophic failure of the generator and associated turbines. We can perform analysis to evaluate the reliability of the retaining ring to establish the need for repair or replacement.

Generator rotor retaining rings are usually the most highly stressed component of the generator and the entire turbine generator set, 包括蒸汽轮机和燃烧轮机.

Our experts use a specialized computer program called Retaining Ring Module to evaluate the incubation conditions and defect propagation in retaining rings of generators.

Plant components may contain defects during manufacturing processes and service life, which reduces the initial degree of safety and integrity with which it was designed. 

能源生产, process, 以及核电站(NPP)和水力发电厂等发电厂, 哪些经常使用复杂的系统, are located in adverse environments and interact significantly with the population residing in the neighboring territories and with other infrastructures such as roads and railways. 出于这些原因, safety aspects play a fundamental role in all phases of their life cycle; design, 制造, 建设, service, 运行和退役.  

We can assess component stability according to internationally recognized procedures and regulations, and not only refer to actual defect or material conditions but also consider their future evolution in normal service conditions.
