Abstract:
Failure Analysis and the Analysis of Weld Related Corrosion Failure in Brewery Transfer Piping
It is important to make an objective study of failure of parts of structures to determine the cause. This is done by investigating the service life, the conditions that led up to the failure, and the actual mode of failure. The study should utilize every bit of information available, investigate all factors, and evaluate this information to arrive at the reason for the failure.
The steps in failure analysis will be discussed and how they were applied to determine the cause of the weld related corrosion failure in a brewery transfer piping.
