Covers the overarching principles of NDE selection and the qualification of personnel and procedures. Part 2: Methane/Hydrogen Damage:
Section 2 addresses the limitations of traditional inspection methods and provides guidelines for using techniques such as Advanced UT, Full Matrix Capture (FMC), and Total Focusing Method (TFM).
– Covers inspection of ferrous and non-ferrous tubes using electromagnetic and ultrasonic methods. Part 2: High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA) api rp 586 pdf
The development of API RP 586 is ongoing. Following the work on Section 2 for HTHA, the API SCIMI has turned its attention to another common yet challenging mechanism: (also known as Contact Corrosion).
The document addresses:
: Provides guidance on selecting NDE methods (e.g., eddy current, magnetic flux leakage, ultrasonic) for inspecting shell and tube heat exchangers.
1. Section 2: Inspection for HTHA (High-Temperature Hydrogen Attack) Covers the overarching principles of NDE selection and
Successfully implementing an RBI program per API RP 586 requires a structured approach involving people, data, and technology.
: Includes Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD), Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), and Full Matrix Capture/Total Focusing Method (FMC/TFM) for HTHA detection. Electromagnetic Methods Part 2: High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA) The
