NALCO GT Boiler Failure Analysis, 2nd Edition

Filled with more than 200 color images, The Nalco Guide to Boiler Failure Analysis, Second Edition categorizes distinct failure modes that typify nearly all boiler problems and walks you, step by step, through their solutions. Each type of failure is classified according to its location, general description, critical factors, identification, elimination, cautions, and related problems. Real-world case histories are included throughout. 624 pp.

This authoritative resource contains new chapters on:

• Phosphate corrosion
• Stress-assisted corrosion
• Steam and condensate damage
• Flow-accelerated corrosion

Comprehensive coverage includes:

Water- and steam-formed deposits * Short- and long-term overheating * Caustic corrosion * Low-pH corrosion * Hydrogen damage * Chelant complexing * Oxygen corrosion * Corrosion during cleaning * Corrosion fatigue cracking * Stress corrosion cracking * Graphitic corrosion * Dealloying * Cavitation * Erosion * Waterwall fireside corrosion * High-temperature furnace corrosion * Cold-end corrosion * Dew point corrosion * Fireside corrosion * Welding defects
