Important Code Changes.  Our IRISNDT Engineering group highlights changes to the 2020 edition of ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code, to be enforced in the next year, which will impact fabricators and owners of existing piping: Until now, weld metal deposits needed impact test qualifications at minimum design metal temperature (MDMT) of -29°C (-20°F) or lower.  In the 2020 edition, the

To the eye, metal surfaces restored after removing coatings or paint with laser appear to be as good as sandblasted surfaces. Are they? To assess this, IRISNDT performed comparative tests all on one plate which had been originally media blasted and coated. Some sections of the originally coated plate were laser cleaned while others were media blasted before being recoated.

Join us for our next Live Event, titled “Overcoming the Challenge of P91 Steam Piping Cracks”.  P91 is a common material used in components that run at high temperatures and pressure in modern power plants and refineries.   It has been a very successful material, but there are issues with it that need to be understood to ensure safe and reliable operation. 

Condition monitoring Locations (CMLs) are used in plant process piping to provide long term metal loss trends in support of asset integrity programs. This presentation overviews the various ways these CMLs can be optimized to ensure that the condition monitoring program is effective for the process conditions, damage mechanisms, and risk. It is important that you have confidence that you
