Coal-fired Power Plant Boiler Tube Corrosion Inspection Equipment and Remaining Lifetime Evaluation Program

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper discusses the design of a prototype for accurately inspecting the degree of wall thinning in boiler tubes, which plays a critical role in power plants. The environment in power plants is characterized by extreme conditions such as high temperatures, high pressure, and ultrafine dust (carbides), making the maintenance and inspection of boiler tubes highly complex. As boiler tubes are key components that deliver high-temperature steam, their condition critically affects the efficiency and safety of the power plant. Therefore, it is essential to accurately measure and manage the wall thinning of boiler tubes.
