Abstract
The unavailability of coal fired electrical generating capacity when needed is often attributable to corrosion in steam generators. Such problems are becoming more widespread as electricity demand grows faster than new plants come online, forcing greater use of old plants. Identifying such corrosion problems before they force boiler shutdowns requires proper inspection tools and techniques. These enable inspectors to take the guesswork out of whether boiler tubes should be repaired or replaced.
