Inhaltsangabe

This book explores Mechanical Integrity (MI) and Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodologies, specifically tailored for professionals in chemical, petrochemical, and petroleum refining plants. It starts with foundational aspects of equipment and pipe design and manufacturing within the process industry, followed by an introduction to prevalent damage mechanisms in metal components during service. The book then delves into the general methodology for mechanical integrity analysis, covering remaining life estimation and methods for assessing common defects found in in-service components. It further introduces the principles and overall methodology of Risk-Based Inspection, detailing approaches for evaluating Probability of Failure and Consequences, along with the application of risk matrices to formulate Inspection-Based Risk (IBR) plans. Lastly, it directs attention to the practical implementation of MI and IBR methodologies for managing the integrity of pipelines transporting liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, aligned with API codes and ASME standards, offering a comprehensive example illustrating the development of an integrity management plan for a real-life pipeline. Through this structured approach, professionals can gain actionable strategies and insights essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of industrial plants and pipelines.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jorge Luis Gonzalez Velazquez has served as Professor in the Metallurgy and Materials Department at the Instituto Politecnico Nacional (National Polytechnic Institute) of Mexico since 1990. He earned his B.S. in metallurgical engineering and M.S. from the same institution. His academic journey continued with a Ph.D. from The University of Connecticut, USA, in 1989, followed by post-doctoral studies under a Mexico-Japan collaboration agreement from 1993 to 1995. Joining IPN in March 1990, he has been actively involved in teaching various subjects, including Fracture Mechanics, Mechanical Behavior of Materials, and Fractography, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Concurrently, over the past 30 years, he has contributed to research and technological development projects for private and government industries, pioneering the introduction of Structural Integrity into the Oil and Gas sector in Mexico.
