etermination of the Damage Factor CLSCC

Comments The susceptibility is determined by expert advice or using the procedures in this paragraph. Determine the bulk Cl-concentration of the water phase. If unknown, the default value for ppm is >1000. Consider Cl-content of any water present in system (i.e. hydrotest, boiler feed, steam) Also, consider the possibility of concentration of Cl- by evaporation or upset conditions. Determine the highest operating temperature expected during operation (consider normal and non-normal operating conditions). Determine pH of the process water. High pH solutions with high chlorides generally are not as susceptible to cracking as low pH solution with chlorides.

Use inspection history to determine the time since the last SCC inspection. The effectiveness category that has been performed on the component. The number of inspections in each effectiveness category that have been performed.

Non-intrusive Inspection Example

Shear wave ultrasonic testing of 25% Dye penetrant testing of to 100% of weldments, transverse and Highly Effective 50% to 100% of parallel to the weld with the weld cap weldments removed Shear wave ultrasonic testing of 10% Dye penetrant testing of to 24% of weldments, and radiographic Usually Effective 25% to 50% of testing of 50% to 100% of weldments. weldments or AE test with partial insulation removal and PT Shear wave ultrasonic testing of less Dye penetrant testing of than 10% of weldments, and Fairly Effective less than 25% of radiographic testing of 20% to 49% of weldments weldments Poorly Effective Visual Ineffective No Inspection Visual for Leaks No Inspection
