Abstract

Petrochemical equipment and installations are vital components of a National energy system. Age and their wear, uncertainty related to their technical status, lack of automation and monitoring systems slows the implementation process of the risk management system in the context of the new regulations on safety in operation and environmental protection requirements. The paper presents an inspection, related to structural integrity of a petrochemical plant component. As a complementary technique, of the classical mechanical tests, an advanced method of examination SEM was used. Combining the results led to highlighting and a comprehensive understanding of the failure mechanisms of the tested materials, impacting on the confidence of the risk level and the safety in operation of inspected components.
