).
Assessment of the piping system integrity for malfunctioning supports includes determining the highest ranked locations of consumed creep life and implementing applicable nondestructive examinations (NDE) at the selected locations. Consideration of the actual pipe wall thicknesses and evaluation of the piping system historical operating temperatures and pressures can improve the remaining creep life estimates. After evaluations of the site-specific NDE results, the Intertek strategy is to select locations with estimated remaining creep rupture lives less than 20 years for NDE during the next scheduled outage.
