Life Assessment of Defective Piping Systems with Anthropogenic Impurities in Feed Water Media*

  • Published:
Strength of Materials Aims and scope

The life of piping elements was assessed and predicted with regard to operating conditions. Prediction estimates of residual life for defective piping systems used in heat-power engineering were obtained on the basis of fracture mechanics approaches. The negative influence of anthropogenic impurities in feed water media on the piping life was shown.
