Heat exchanger condition and remaining life assessment

EPRI GS-6724 is a guideline which, in part, outlines a phased approach for performing power plant heat exchanger condition assessments. Remaining life projections that result from these assessments enable utilities to accurately and cost effectively extend component and system life. Overview and in-depth descriptions of essential procedural information from the EPRI guideline -- as applicable to power plant heat exchangers, recommended remaining life assessment methods and case histories -- are provided.
