<p>Failure Analysis of Abnormal Corrosion of Steam System Pipe Fittings. In view of the frequent leakage and perforation of the steam system pipe fittings of a Chinese factory in a short period of use, it will not only affect the normal use of the pipe system, but also cause safety hazards. In this paper, sampling and analysis of failed pipe fittings have shown that the acid-base characteristics of the medium and the structural style of pipe fittings will all have a certain influence on the corrosion process. At the same time, through the analysis of the macro and micro corrosion morphology on site, it is shown that local corrosion is the root cause of the failure. At the same time, erosion or dead zone is formed in some areas of the pipe fittings, which causes perforation corrosion and causes greater safety hazards. Therefore, effective Countermeasures to prevent such accidents from happening.</p><p>Including strict control of the quality of cooling water. Do a good job of steam defogging. The opening and closing operations must be slow. Replace the pipe fittings with serious thinning and corrosion thinning in time. Change the material to 316L ultra-low carbon stainless steel, or high wear and corrosion resistant composite pipe. Carry out measures such as comprehensive inspection and structural integrity safety assessment.</p>

ASME 2021 Pressure Vessels & Piping Conference (PVP2021)

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
