Abstract

Gives guidance for conducting FFS assessments using methodologies specifically prepared for pressurized equipment. These are engineering evaluations that are performed to demonstrate the structural integrity of an in-service component that may contain a flaw or damage or that may be operating under specific conditions that could produce a failure.
