A conference on boiler tube failures in fossil plants was conducted on November 10-12, 1987 at the Waverly Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Approximately 270 participants represented domestic and foreign utilities, equipment vendors, contractors and consultants. The objectives of the conference were to review, document and transfer technology on all aspects of boiler tube failures (BTF). To meet these objectives, papers and presentations were provided on the following topics: general topics on BTF including statistics from utilities around the world; BTF mechanisms including fatigue, fireside and waterside; remaining life assessment; BTF reduction programs; and, NDE and monitoring. Each topic discussed in a separate conference session. To maximize the information transfer, the sessions on remaining life and NDE included overviews of the topics by recognized experts in the fields (rapporteurs) as well as presentations by the authors. Discussion followed each paper and each session. These are included in the proceedings. Papers in this volume are indexed separately.
