  1. Sargent and Lundy, Chicago, IL (United States)
This paper discusses the various aging deterioration mechanisms of high-energy piping systems, metallurgical aspects of aging submerged-arc-welded longitudinal seam welds (lessons learned based on studies made since the Mohave failure), analytical methods for evaluating these aging mechanisms, nondestructive examination (NDE) techniques for detecting the extent of such deterioration and corrective actions required to restore such piping and components. The paper discusses the programmatic aspects of high-energy piping condition assessment for units that plan to operate beyond their originally intended design life.
