本技巧描述了计划回收锅炉检查的过程，具体说明了每个锅炉区域的检查范围，以在其最可能的位置找到可能的损坏机制，使用最有效的检查和无损检测（NDT）方法对损坏进行量化和趋势化。使用本技巧中描述的实践，回收锅炉所有者/操作员可以合理分配正确的时间、脚手架和检查/无损检测资源，以了解以最低成本提高锅炉可靠性所需的一切。基于核工业、炼油工业和化学工业中经常使用的检查设计实践，本技巧中描述的检查计划流程可确保被检查的回收锅炉在业主了解影响锅炉各部分的损坏机制的程度和速率的情况下恢复使用。 这种设计检查范围的方法同样适用于动力锅炉和其他固定设备。附录A列出了损伤机制和相应的推荐检查方法。本文件中的任何内容均无意取代或取代管辖权要求。

This TIP describes a process for planning a recovery boiler inspection by specifying an inspection scope for each boiler zone to find possible damage mechanisms in their most likely locations, using the most efficient inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to quantify and trend the damage. Using the practices described in this TIP, a recovery boiler owner/operator can rationally allocate the correct amounts of time, scaffolding and inspection/NDT resources to learn everything necessary to improve the boiler's reliability at lowest cost.Built on inspection design practices in regular use in the nuclear, refining and chemical industries, the inspection planning process described in this TIP can ensure that an inspected recovery boiler returns to service with the owner having an understanding of the extent and rate of damage mechanisms affecting each part of the boiler. This method of designing the inspection scope applies equally well to power boilers and other fixed equipment.Appendix A has a comprehensive list of damage mechanisms and corresponding recommended inspection methods. Nothing in this document is intended to replace or supersede jurisdictional requirements.
