Abstract
- The fitness-for-service assessment is widely used to demonstrate whether identified defects or in-service deterioration threaten the structure integrity of the pressure equipment. This article introduces the development of the Chinese national safety assessment standard. The assessment procedure and assessment techniques of current Chinese national safety assessment standard GB/T 19624-2004 are demonstrated, and the improvement is proposed. In order to maintain availability of aging equipment and enhance the long-term economic performance of in service pressure equipment, a new Chinese national safety assessment standard system is methodology proposed based on the analysis of some international structure integrity procedures or standards. A new national standard fitness-for-service which focuses on the evaluation of in-service damage and degeneration will be established while GB/T 19624 is applicable for general defects.Copyright © 2013 by ASME
