FEAP – Flow Erosion Assessment Program 3 EIMAGING POWER GENERATION EXAMPLE FEP INVESTIGATION REPORT MAY 2009 Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) Inspections Flow-accelerated corrosion is a function of water chemistry, operating process temperatures, fluid bulk velocities, pipe material and piping geometry. Feedwater pipe operating in the range of 175-deg to 500-deg are susceptible and feedwater systems in range of 200-deg to 350-deg are particularly susceptible. In addition, low-pressure steam piping that operates at or near saturation, or is at risk of two-phase flow, may be exposed to FAC conditions. Click here (slides 99 – 106) for additional program descriptions.here The FAC inspection program is designed to be an on-going assessment initiative consisting of evaluating historical data collected from plant records and identifying areas for investigation. In review of the plant’s operating conditions in the boiler feedwater system, a Flow Accelerated Corrosion Inspection program should be initiated and conducted at bi-annual intervals in the areas identified in the following slides: click here (slides 107 thru 129), for FAC program inspection locations.here

4  Chemical build-up of protective magnetite [black oxide] (Fe3O4) layer on carbon or low-alloy steel – direct function of dissolved oxygen levels in process flow.  Magnetite layer begins to dissolves into a stream of flowing water (single phase flow) or a water-steam mixture (two phase flow).  The pH-level at temperature and the level of dissolved oxygen in the stream influence the stability and solubility of the magnetite oxide layer.  If the oxidation reduction potential (ORP) is negative, a reducing environment exists that can reduce or eliminate the magnetite protective oxide layer that leads to FAC  Trend to over-treat water with excessive oxygen-scavengers in de-aeration process can accelerate FAC EROSION-CORROSION PRINCIPALS IN POWER PIPING EIMAGING POWER GENERATION EXAMPLE FEAP INVESTIGATION REPORT MAY 2009 FEAP – Flow Erosion Assessment Program 4

6 GRID TYPE DESIGNATION/ INSPECTION MAPPING ARRANGEMENT NOTES: 1.Grid width descriptions: the designations in the grid boxes identify number of test points in the pipe circumferential orientation and spacing between points. For instance, 1.00” indicates 5 test points spaced 1.00-inches apart 2.Lengths in the “longitudinal spacing” field identify the spacing of test points. For instance, if the spacing is 1.00”, and the “L” is called out at 8.00”, the number of test points will be nine in the pipe longitudinal direction. 3.Circumferential grid dimensions are based on total wall mapping of approximately 120-degree on the pipe circumference. The center of the 120-degree arc is identified on the system isometrics. 4.For grid type “GRD-A2” (elbows), the elongated grid extends along 60-degrees of the elbow sweep and beyond the elbow-weld through “L” inches. Grid type “GRD-A2” may also be specified for upstream end of elbows.
