Several leaks were observed in wall tubes located in the convection section of a package boiler after being in service for about 22 years. The design capacity of the boiler is 137 tons per hour (124.3 Megagrams per hour) at a maximum pressure of 15.6 barg (16 kg/cmz) and design temperature of 397OF (203OC). The failures occurred on the internal surfaces facing the hot gas at localized pits with hemispherical bottoms. Large tubercles, 0.43-inches (I 1 mm) in height and 0.24 to 0.47-inches (6 to 12 mm) in diameter, formed above the observed pits. The results of metallographic, SEMIEDS and XRD analyses are presented and discussed in this paper. A schematic model of a developed tubercle showing the individual layers and the distribution of detected elements in these layers is also presented. It was concluded that the tubes failed due to the presence of chlorides from sea water that contaminated the boiler feed water. Seawater contamination was caused by the severe corrosion damage of cupro-nickel tubes in the evaporator by shell side steam.

Failure analysis methodology is applied to the principal mechanisms by which boiler tubes fail during service.  sThe failure analysis procedure, or methodology for evaluation, is provided in a step by step approach.  Among the case histories discussed are: fatigue, erosion, short-term overheating, and hydrogen damage.
