Miniature testing service for remaining life evaluation

  Today, most power and petrochemical plants have been in operation for a long time, and accurate residual life assessment of plant facilities will be in huge demand over the next ten years in an effort to extend the service life of the plants.
　
  Residual life assessment is conducted destructively or non-destructively. Destructive methods provide more precise and accurate data than non-destructive methods. However, inspection using conventional destructive technique is time consuming and costly̶the plant operation has to be stopped to extract the necessary samples by cutting the piping component and to weld a replacement in order to restore and restart the plant. Such disadvantage of the conventional technique has amplified the demand for practically applying new assessment technique that replaces the conventionaltechnique.
　
  The miniature testing service that KMTL has just officially launched uses much smaller samples from the plant piping, enabling periodic inspections while the plant is in operation. Our miniature tests (miniature-creep testing, small-punch-creep testing, and miniature-fatigue testing) were developed with relevant institutions and organizations and have been validated by the data and inspection results accumulated over a number of years.
