Power Boiler Design, Inspection, and Repair (ASME Code Simplified)

POWER BOILERS, TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD

Based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, is designed to provide the clearest, most up-to-date information on the fabrication, inspection, and testing of power boilers.

With this book, readers will find valuable insights into: National Board Inspection Code for repairs and alterations rules, pipeline corrosion, integrity management, in-line inspection and pigs, run-or-repair decisions, analysis of metal loss B31G and RSTRENG, analysis of dents, gouges and fatigue damage and non-welded and welded repairs and replacements.

Features:

• Installation, Operation, Inspection, and Maintenance methods for repair and alteration
• A boiler inspector's insights on meeting code requirements
• Expert advice on repair and alteration to National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors standards
• Design specifications
• Code calculations
• Tips on complying with local and national requirements
