Abstract: Pressure components used in energy and resources industries may be subjected to various damages including plasticity and creep. Life prediction of such components is an important consideration for engineers who design, build, or operate them. This paper aims to present a comprehensive study to investigate the problem of creep life assessment of a complex welded component containing multiple zones with different material properties unlike almost all of the previously developed methods that have been based on the secondary creep condition alone that cannot be considered as a true representative for the creep behaviour of materials. Thus, the necessary information to estimate the life of a branch tube based on the primary, secondary, and tertiary creep conditions are presented. Results confirm the experimental data from the literature producing the most conservative life.
