Table 1 presents a listing of some typical problems and failures found in boiler header and drum components, together with their associated failure mechanisms. Note that the listing includes

Boiler Tube Failure Investigation - TCR AdvancedBoiler tubes. can undergo sudden failures by rupture or leakage and is usually detected while in operation rather than during a hydro test or other inspection activities. This calls for immediate action as it can often cause a shutdown of the boiler, leading to loss of production and downtime. It is critical to understand the various modes and ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS FOR BOILER & STEAM or More CYCLE …Also included in the report is a critical review of the current state of the art of boiler erosion mechanisms, description of the effectiveness of various erosion protection methods used to limit the deleterious effects of different degradation mechanisms and

Cavitation Erosion – A review of physical mechanisms and …failure modes are reviewed, with focus on those occurring in the boiler, critical piping and other key components such as pressure vessels and condensers. Major emphasis is placed on analyzing how upstream events in the steam cycle process can lead to2. LITERATURE REVIEWIt is critical to understand the various modes and mechanisms of the boiler components such as tubes, headers, pipes, turbines, etc. A proper understanding of the damage mechanisms, the inspection activities, and on-line monitoring tools are necessary to address challenges in a more systematic manner.
