Failure of Water Wall Tubes Caused by Hydrogen …

4/5/2020 · It is a heavy-fuel-oil fired boiler and uses positive pressure type water tubes with a rated capacity of 204.68 kg/s at a pressure of 8.5 MPa and steam temperature of 523 °C. The failed tube had an outer diameter of 76 mm and original wall thickness of 5.6 mm. It was in a slanted position with a ~20-degree slope, and was located close to the

Damage mechanism in boiler (thermal power plant)

Hydrogen damage on the I.D. of a boiler tube can cause rupturing of the tube which necessitates an immediate shutdown of the boiler. Hydrogen damage occurring within the thickness of the tube wall, is a far more serious and dangerous condition than I.D. corrosion or surface roughness.

Hydrogen attack on waterwall tubes in a high pressure …

1/8/1995 · Three case histories of similar failures from hydrogen attack on waterwall tubes in two 1,800 psig (12 MPa) boilers are described. The influence of previous window repairs, boiler water treatment, and contaminant chemistry is presented.

Comparison And Contrast: Hydrogen Damage Vs. Creep …

9/3/1997 · Hydrogen damage exhibits loss of tube wall thickness due to corrosion beneath the deposit, intergranular cracking which initiates from the tube interior, and loss of carbon from the alloy (Figure 4). Metal creep is characterized by degradation of lamellar pearlite, intergranular cracking which initiates from the tube exterior, and no metal loss due to corrosion beneath the deposit (Figure 5).

Method for ultrasonic detection of hydrogen damage in …

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of ultrasonically testing a wall of a boiler tube for detecting hydrogen damage comprising the steps of: providing a shear-wave angle-beam transmitting transducer with a frequency in the range of 2.5 MHz to 10 MHz at a first

Characteristics of Water-Side Deposits in Boiler Tubes

Identifying Hydrogen Damage In Furnace Waterwall Tubes – Thielsch

Water Handbook - Boiler System Failures | SUEZ

When a failed tube section is removed from a boiler, care must be taken to prevent contamination of deposits and damage to the failed zones. Also, the tube should be properly labeled with its location and orientation. The first step in the lab investigation is a

Hydrogen-induced fractures of metallic components of thermal fossil fuel power plants (TPP) presents very serious exploitation problem and often exert considerable influence on the loss of power plant availability. Hydrogen damage is one of the most disturbing of boiler tube failure mechanism, and from the international experience, remains as one of the leading causes of frequent outages of

Waterwall Fireside Corrosion | Structural Integrity …

Introduction Industry experience shows that waterwall tubing in conventional boilers can be susceptible to fireside corrosion, depending on fuel type, firing practice, etc. In boilers where fireside corrosion has been identified as a maintenance issue, wastage rates of 5 to 25 mils/year are not uncommon. Since the mid 1990s, the installation of low NOx burner systems designed to lower NOx
