Author: Ing. Carlos Álvarez, December 10, 2023. Steam reformer tubes used in the refining, petrochemical and fertilizer industries are manufactured by the centrifugal casting process of heat-resistant austenitic alloys, such as HK-40, HP-40 and HP-Niobium modified materials. These tubes are prone to various degradation mechanisms such as creep, the useful life of these tubes depends largely on operation and maintenance. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) plays a fundamental role in detecting these failures.
Current techniques for analyzing composite materials in high-performance industrial sectors.
Section VIII of the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Code is a fundamental standard in the pressure equipment industry. This section establishes requirements for the design, manufacture and inspection of pressure vessels. ASME Section VIII Division 1 is a comprehensive standard with several requirements and guidelines for testing and certification of pressure vessels.
Explore the intersection between NDT 4.0 and manufacturing process optimization, highlighting its impact on quality, productivity and operational excellence.
