During the pre-turnaround hydrostatic test, multiple tube leaks were discovered in the original water wall tubes of a 680 psig industrial boiler installed in 1954. Inspection of the water wall tubes of the boiler revealed significant pitting corrosion on the high heat ff ux side warranting tube repair or replacement, while the cold-side of the tube maintained close to original wall thickness. Metallurgical analysis determined the mode of failure to be caustic corrosion. Further investigation concluded that the physical root cause was localized higher heat flux due to the operation of low NOx burners installed in 1996.

Failure analysis methodology is applied to the principal mechanisms by which boiler tubes fail during service.  sThe failure analysis procedure, or methodology for evaluation, is provided in a step by step approach.  Among the case histories discussed are: fatigue, erosion, short-term overheating, and hydrogen damage.
