[/stm_iconlist][vc_column_text]FCI is experienced in the assessment of the following damage mechanisms:[/vc_column_text][stm_iconlist icon=”stmicon-checkmark-circle”]
- Hot tap thermal analysis
- Brittle fracture, including tank hydrotest exemption
- Blast loading and other dynamic effects
- General and locally corroded areas, including pitting
- Mechanical vibration
- Laminations and blisters, HIC and SOHIC damage
- Wind-induced vibration of towers, stacks, and pipelines
- Bulges and out-of-roundness
- Modeling of weld residual stresses and incorporation into crack-like flaw assessment
- Crack-like flaws, including stress corrosion and fatigue crack growth
- Local PWHT of weld repairs
- Dents, gouges, and dent-gouge combinations
- Tank shell and edge settlement
- Evaluation of hot spots
- Ring joint flange cracking
- Heater tube remaining life
- Fatigue evaluation of welded joints
- Evaluation of high-temperature equipment for creep and creep-fatigue damage
- Thermal and mechanical fatigue
