FFSpro

FFSpro is a Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessment software covering

• • Fracture Mechanics – Uses the Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) to evaluate the structural integrity of in-service components with crack-like flaws
  • Brital Fracture – Analyzes brittle fracture to establish the Minimum Allowable Temperature (MAT)
  • Metal Losses – Performs evaluations for general metal loss, local metal loss, and pitting corrosion
  • Fatigue Screening – Assessment of fatigue damage
  • Weld Misalignment and Shell Distortions – FFS assessment for pressurized components with weld misalignment and shell distortion, including out-of-roundness
  • Dents, Gouges, and Dent-Gouge Combinations – FFS assessments for pressurized components containing dents, gouges, or dent-gouge combinations resulting from mechanical damage
  • Laminations – Assessment for pressurized components with laminations

With the help of this software, the user is able to determine if equipment can continue to operate safely, and make decisions about running safely without repair, or running safely after repair, or replacing equipment, knowing that the decisions comply with the Standard.  With the software’s capability of predicting remaining life under cyclic loading, the user is able to establish appropriate inspection plans.
