Development of a Reproducible Ultrasonic Thickness Monitoring Program for Gas Storage Facilities

Regulatory groups require gas storage facility operators to address the safety and environmental concerns that would be impacted due to a release of the processing fluid. The objective of this paper is to disseminate a process that operators can use to develop an ultrasonic thickness (UT) monitoring program with reliable and reproducible results that meet the fitness-for-service requirements set forth by industry. This paper targets Class 1 Type A components using a Level 1 assessment approach. These components represent the high risk assets subject to design equations that specifically relates to pressure and where supplemental loading does not govern required wall thickness i.e. the required thickness is based on pressure only. A systematic approach to the organization and implementation of the program complete with mathematical equations to evaluate components for fitness-for-service requirements and justification for asset retirement is provided.
