FFS Master Software For Fitness-For-Service Assessment of Hydrogen Induced Cracking Equipment Based on API 579-1/ASME FFS-1

Over time, industrial equipment, particularly in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, is subjected to various forms of degradation damage that can affect its structural integrity. Most Codes Standards pertaining components do not address issues damage. As such, performing a Fitness For Service (FFS) assessment recommended make run-repair-replace decisions an in-service component may be flawed or damaged. In this study, FFS Master –Fitness evaluation software –was developed according 3rd Edition API579-1/ASME FFS-1. The coding was written using C# programming language with SQL server database. This specifically for low strength ferritic steel pressurized hydrogen induced cracking (HIC), giving user ability accurately assess if system continue operate their current service condition.
