Equipment
degradation such as pitting, thinning, cracking, and bulging
is often found during an inspection. Prompt condition assessment
is crucial so that safe and efficient operation can continue
or resume. We define the inspections and measurements necessary
to properly characterize the damage and determine whether
the equipment can continue to operate, needs repairs, can
be rerated, or should be replaced. Our fitness-for-service
experts evaluate flaws and conditions according to established
guidelines.Using
analytical tools, particularly non-linear finite analysis,
we can salvage equipment otherwise destined for repair or
retirement. The Equity Engineering Group has saved clients millions
of dollars in avoided repairs, reduced business interruption,
and improved reliability.
Our
fully equipped portable metallographic laboratory aids in
assessing the condition of equipment in the field, without
costly sampling, delay, and subsequent repair.
