Inspection item
The inspection for reformer outlet pigtail in 2016 STA was carried out the below items.
・Outer diameter measurement (for 196 pigtails)
Outer diameter measurement was carried out south side of radiant box.
Measurement position was decided by 2011 STA result
→Bulging was found at six pigtails.
・PT inspection(for 196 pigtails)
Inspection is conducted same pigtails as the outer diameter measurement.
Inspection was conducted three points. Welding line with short piece/bend/welding
line with hot collector.
→The all inspections are not completed, but pigtail which bulging is detected does
not have the crack.
・SUMP inspection (7)
Seven pigtails selected by METOR, pigtail number is R2-T41,48、R3-T47、
R10-T50、R12-T49、R13-T50、R14-T48
→Waiting an inspection report
I received the inspection result. MGC selected 6 pigtails which bulging was occurred
and other 15 healthy pigtails (7 pigtails which SUMP test is conducted are included).
Every pig tail measured outer diameter 5points(①③④⑤are added).
In order to confirm detailed bulging condition of pigtails, and confirm the bulging
condition of connecting short pieces.

Additional inspection
METOR plans additional inspection by founding bulging of six pigtails.
・Outer diameter measurement (all outlet pigtails)
・PT inspection
・SUMP inspection
・Hardness measurement
・Destructive inspection
The inspection and confirmation that is necessary after the STA end immediately
・Creep destructive inspection of the R3-T48 (Bulging rate is largest) and R3-T50
(Bulging rate is smallest).
→Pigtail whose bulging rate is over 5% will be replaced, and under 5% Pigtail
It will continue use. In order to predict remaining life of pigtail whose bulging rate
is under 5%, conduct creep destructive inspection.
・For pigtail which has a big bulging tendency, you counduct metal analysis.
→The confirmation of used materials accord with drawing.
