Fitness for Service (FFS) -API 579/ASME FFS-1

元素的服务健身（FFS）评估有助于确定您的设备是否安全且适合继续运行。它可以防止故障，最大限度地减少风险，并消除昂贵的维修。

评估程序由石油和天然气，发电和化学加工行业使用完整性管理and to evaluate fitness for service of pressure containing equipment.

元素can evaluate the structural and mechanical integrity of a wide range of components to API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 international standards, including boiler, HRSG, pressure vessels, chemical reactors, storage tanks, piping systems, and pipelines. From design to decommissioning, our Fitness for Service assessments help you avoid brittle and ductile fracture and metal loss, make cost-effective run-repair-replace decisions, and solve problems that may arise throughout the lifecycle of a component.

API 579/ASME FFS-1

元素routinely performs the API 579/ASME FFS-1 standard to assess the stability and propagation rates of different types of defects, which can be found in a component both in the design and in service. Our experts are qualified to Level 2 and 3 for NDT and metallographic replicas with specialist knowledge in骨折韧性那有限元分析[FEA]， 和疲劳试验。

我们的方法

设备可能含有缺陷，变得损坏，或老化，以便无法使用原始建筑码进行评估。API 579-1 / ASME FFS1可用于评估设备继续运行。它允许：

• 在操作条件下的热机械分析（温度和应变）：正常的服务，瞬态，可预测的卓越或故障的服务条件。
• 正常操作条件下的结构分析旨在检测异常（由于腐蚀/侵蚀，支撑/锚的沉降/位移）来评估进一步使用和任何纠正措施的需要
  设计，设计验证，故障组件评估和报价。
• 根据公认的程序和标准（API 579，BS 7910，DNV，NE R5，NE R6），对操作条件的传播速率评估和稳定性评估缺陷。
  评估结构检查结果和检测到缺陷严重程度的评估
