Condition assessment programs must address all areas of the plant. Assessment of the boiler must be sure to include the critical pressure components.
Generally, the critical components are those whose failure will directly affect the reliability of the boiler.
These components - which can be prioritized by the impact they have on safety, reliability, and performance - include:
- drums-steam, lower
- headers-both steam and water
- tubing-superheater, generating, waterwall, economizer
- piping-steam and feedwater
