SECONDARY COLD BLOW COOLER 40-12-030

REMAINING LIFE CALCULATION

Material: Carbon Steel
The following readings are taken from Inspection reports of 1996,
2002 and 2008. The minimum wall thickness was measured just
above the lower tube sheet and this reading is taken to calculate the
rate of corrosion
Inches
1990 Nominal Uncorroded Thickness- T1990 0.375
1996 Thickness - T1996 0.350
2002 Thickness -T2002 0.235
2008 Thickness - T2008 0.203
Manufacturer Specified Corrosion Allowance -TCA 0.0625
TMIN DESIGN= (T1990-Cor. Allowance) 0.313
TMIN CALCULATED - TCAL 0.220

CORROSION RATE Inch/Year

6-Year Short term Corrosion rate = (T1990-T1996)/6 = Tcr6 0.004
12 -Year Medium Term Corrosion Rate = (T1990-T2002)/12 = Tcr12 0.012
18 Year Long Term Corrosion rate =(T1990 - T2008)/18 =Tcr18 0.010
