Abstract

Fracture mechanics approach for structural integrity assessment is described in the case of pressure vessels for compressed air. The results of non-destructive testing indicated unacceptable defects on the vessels and set a base for application of failure analysis diagrams (FAD) and risk-based analysis. Risk matrix are applied with the aim of assessment and analysis of the integrity of the vessels.

Keywords: pressure vessel, NIOVAL 50, welded joints, non-destructive testing, Failure Analysis Diagram (FAD)
