Joe Frey, PEPower Practice LeadStress Engineering Services, Inc.• 30 years experience in the utility industry in design,
construction, performance testing, and maintenance of gas, coal, and lignite fired power plants
• 20 years of experience providing emergency response for condition assessment and repair of piping and equipment
• Involved with EPRI in developing repair methods for the industry
• Current Position Chair of ASME B31.1 Power Piping Committee
Evaluate equipment damage and determine which equipment can be placed back in service
Recommend repairs for other damaged equipment prior to restart
Outline• ASME B31.1 Inspection Requirements
• ASME B31.1 Code Development
• Appendix V Recommendations
• Chapter VII Requirements (Dec 2007)
• BOILER PROPER• BOILER EXTERNAL PIPING

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
• ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR REQUIRED EXAMINATIONS ARE MANDATORY– LISTED BY METHOD IN THE CODE
• CONTRACT SPECIFICATION MAY REQUIRE TIGHTER ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA– NEEDS TO BE PRIOR AGREEMENT
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR NON-REQUIRED EXAMINATIONS• ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR NON-
REQUIRED EXAMINATION IS NOT WITHIN SCOPE OF CODE
• PIPING SYSTEM MUST STILL MEET DESIGN REQUIREMENTS– DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS
• SAFETY IS THE ISSUE(INTRODUCTION)
INTERPRETATION 7-2
• ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WHEN RADIOGRAPHY IS NOT REQUIRED
• NOT IN SCOPE OF CODE– ENGINEERING EVALUATION OF
INDICATIONS– CAUTION ON ACCEPTANCE OF
VIOLATIONS OF FABRICATION REQUIREMENTS (DESIGN ASSUMPTION)
INTERPRETATION 37-2ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WHEN RADIOGRAPHY IS NOT REQUIRED
•AN UPDATED VERSION OF 7-2
•MORE COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF FABRICATION VS DESIGN
REQUIREMENTS
ASME B31.1 now addresses the O&M of power piping.
The inspection and evaluations methods are acknowledged, but not detailed.
APPENDIX V• Added to B31.1 after Mohave
6/9/85
• Nonmandatory
• How to maintain critical piping
• Will be where details of condition assessment are introduced into the Code
• Details will be moved over into Chapter VII in time

The WAP 8 CR Seam Weld Failure Prompted Two Industry Reactions:1. Seal welded cold reheat systems were
added to the inspection programs –fatigue cracks
2. ASME B31.1 Code Committee renewed efforts on Appendix V and then began work on a new mandatory operation and maintenance chapter. Chapter VII was published in December of 2007.
ASME B31.1 CHAPTER VII Operation & Maintenance- Contributing Factors•Deregulation has reduced funds and added new players
•Plants are being bought and sold
•Common industry practice to neglect pipe supports
•Lots of stories about being “lucky”
Other Codes with O&M Requirements• B31.4 – 2002 Pipeline Transportation
Systems For Liquid Hydrocarbons and Other Liquids (Chapter VII)
• B31.8 – 2003 Gas Transmission And Distribution Systems (Chapter V)
• B31.11 – 2002 Slurry Transportation Piping Systems (Chapter VII)
• High Pressure System HPS 2003 (Section 5000)
GENERALManaging safe pipe service begins with the initial project concept and continues throughout the service life of the system.
Thou ShallKnow the Condition
of Thy Condition
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The Operating Company shall be responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of their power piping.
Covered piping systems (CPS):Piping systems on which condition assessments are to be conducted.
•NPS 4 and larger MS, HRH, CRH, & BF
•NPS 4 and larger in other systems that
operate above 750F or above 1025 psi.
•The Operating Company may include
other piping systems
CONDITION ASSESSMENTOF CPS
A condition assessment shall be performed periodically based on condition.
Basis for determining extent of assessment and reinspection intervalConsideration of the age of the CPS, the previous documented condition, anticipated operating conditions.
This includes remaining life assessment.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURESDocumentation of:1.System operating hours and hot,
warm, and cold starts2.Actual operating temperatures and
pressures3.System excursions including pipe
hammers4.Modifications and repairs to CPS5.Hydro pinning requirements
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURESDocumentation of:
6. Maintenance of pipe supports 7.Maintenance of piping system
vents, drains, and relief valves8.Maintenance of steam
attemporators9.Assessment of deteriorating
mechanisms including; creep, fatigue, corrosion, erosion
10.Documentation of condition of CPS
RECORDS
The condition assessment reports and any reference documents, such as procedures required by para. 139, drawings and reports, shall be maintained and accessible for the life of the plant.
