Crack Propagation and Remaining Life Assessment of Coke Drums Due to Thermal Stresses

Coke drums are subjected to cyclic thermal stresses, thus their operational life is much shorter than other pressure equipment in oil refineries. It is known through surveys that one of major typical location of failure in coke drums is the shell-to-skirt junction. The main objective is to simulate crack propagation and to develop a remaining life assessment method for shell-to-skirt junction with crack. Operational temperatures and strains on a coke drum have been measured for 100 cycles. The selected operational temperatures will be applied as thermal boundary conditions in analyses. The crack propagation is then simulated to assess the remaining life.
