Case Study

A $65,000 carbon steel spool has been rotated using information from manual UT surveys resulting in 4 rotations when the 6:00 thickness gets to 9mm provides 24 months of service life.



Get the most out of your assets

With PIPVIEW analysis, prescriptions for optimum rotation dates for 6 rotations and EOL minimum thickness of 5mm provides a service life of 52 months with an ROI of 820% and much higher when factoring reduced hole-out risk.

Increase spool service life / reduce capital replacement cost
  • Increase rotations to use more wear material if the wear profile permits – from 4 rotations to 6 rotations increases wear service life up to 50%.
  • Set End Of Life (EOL) thickness target at 5mm instead of 9mm – increases service life 44%.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
  • No more take-it-apart for internal inspection.
  • Reduce number of rotations for all-around wear profile to reduce maintenance cost.
  • Predict and prescribe Leading Edge weld repair for scheduled outages (optional).
  • Reduce (ineffective) manual UT surveys / reduce personnel risk.
Reduce Risk of holeout, unscheduled shutdowns and cleanup
  • Advance warning of End Of Life.
  • Easy planning for replacements.

Optimize

Optimize the lifetime cost

The quality of the reports is excellent and the rotation schedule can be picked to optimize the lifetime cost of the spool.



Weekly reporting

Weekly reporting

The preformatted historical data from earlier rotations is valuable to see the short term effects on wear rates and service life.

Impact on the service life

Interactive options for rotation angles and dates allow us to descope certain maintenance activities and we can see what the impact is for service life.



Impact on performance

The reported rotation angle after a maintenance outage immediately shows the impact on holeout risk and service life when errors in rotation have occurred.



The PIP360 support staff help to interpret maintenance options when a maintenance outage is overbooked.
