大修檢查規劃方法
 工場大修設備檢查是應用各種檢測和評估技術，
對潛在高風險的設備，來決定設備的適用性，
以進行必要的銲補、更換維修措施或限制操作
條件等措施，以期確保設備安全，降低操作意
外風險
 大修規劃目的在使大修檢查工作掌握重點，使
更具效益和效率，基本涵蓋(1)檢測計畫、(2)
檢測人員訓練和能力認定（含承攬商）、(3)
熟悉判定標準或規範、(4)熟悉檢測資料的應
用和(5)檢測資料的保存和更新。
規劃人員及方法
 大修規畫應會同現場操作、方法工程、檢測、
材料、工安和維修等相關人員共同參與討論
 可採用風險基準檢查理念作為規劃的依據，規
劃主要依據法規、失效可能性、設備劣化模式、
損壞歷史、操作歷史、破損危害、損失和設計
製造等要項，再視實際設備和管線失效風險和
損失(火災、爆炸、毒性物質、停爐損失等等)
以及大修之人力、時間和經費來訂定設備的優
先性和檢查涵蓋範圍。
資料收集
1）由P&ID、P&FD圖、目前操作條件和設計/建造
依據之規範，整理各項設備和管線基本資料，
其中涵蓋材質、尺寸、壁厚、最小需求厚度、
操作溫度、壓力、內容物和熱處理條件等。
2）過去檢查和修護記錄以及追蹤項目彙整
3）操作異常和變化記錄彙整
4）代檢設備彙整
5）延長開放設備彙整

依據資料之彙整和分析結果列出大修檢查的
設備和管線。
依據實際設備和管線失效風險和損失(火災、
爆炸、毒性物質、停爐損失、是否可線上克
漏，by-pass操作等等)以及大修之人力、時
間和經費來訂定設備的優先性和檢查涵蓋範
圍並據此擬定大修檢查重點規劃。
檢查位置和方法





設備選定後，應至現場勘查，且清楚圖示檢測位置、範
圍和檢查方法。
設備檢測位置選定原則為高溫（爐管）、高應力（法蘭
溝槽、nozzle）、高腐蝕區、高沖蝕區（彎頭、大小頭、
閥體）、滯留區和銲接處、兩相流體液體側、分配管最
靠兩側之管線、設備插管和支架保溫等不周全處、低溫
設備結冰處和線上監測異常區等等。
檢查方法和程序應依循本公司「非破壞檢測作業準則」，
必要時應評估採用較先進之檢測設備。
擬定檢查作業時程表，明列各檢測點檢測所需配合事項
（搭架、拆保溫、除漆、除銹），並送相關配合單位。
執行檢查、檢查報告和檢查資料存檔應依循本公司「固
定設備檢查作業準則」，檢測規劃書亦應建檔管理
大修檢查計畫之作業



由轄區部門主管擔任召集人，原則上於大修停爐前
三個月成立「設備檢查規劃小組」
召集檢查、修護、技術、煉研所等部門，以風險基
準檢查（RBI）理念，並參酌國內外經驗、歷年維修、
檢查、操作等紀錄綜合考量下，研訂製程中較可能
發生腐蝕損傷之設備部位及管線
由檢查部門彙整成「大修檢查計畫」作為大修檢查
依據。「大修檢查計畫」規劃明細內容應至少包含
設備及管線編號、劣化型態說明、檢查位置、檢查
方法、配合事項（如搭架、拆保溫、除銹）、檢查
優先順序等項。
檢查位置
設備至少應進行目視及測厚檢查，並應標示檢測位置及示意圖。
製程管線應予以分類，以運用較多之檢查資源於較高潛在損害嚴重性的管線。
對嚴重等級較高之管路應實施更頻繁、更廣泛之檢查，以保障其完整性，使其
能持續安全地操作。
管線分類應考慮洩漏後可能引起安全上與環境上之危害。
原則上，可分成以下二大類：
第一類：一旦洩漏最有可能引起安全或環境等因素上立即的狀況者。
(A) 內容物為可燃性且會自動結凍（auto-refrigerate）導致脆裂者。
例如液態氧等。
(B) 壓力狀態下之內容物，而一旦洩漏或釋放後，會迅速氣化、產生蒸
氣雲、形成爆炸性混合物者，例如C2、C3、C4之油料及液氨，操作溫度
在-4℃至120℃者；會迅速氣化之流體係指常壓下其沸點低於10℃。
(C) 氣相中H2S濃度超過3wt%者。
(D) 氫氣(純度低於80%者)。
第二類：大部分的工場區製程管線與部份區域外管線。
(A) 工場區之一般油料管線，漏出時會逐漸蒸發者，例如操作溫度在閃
火點以 上之油料管線。
(B) 含氫氣純度達80%以上者、燃料氣、天然氣、高壓蒸汽之管線。
厚度檢測點位置之決定
檢查或管轄部門應對各管路系統可能存在之下列特殊環境與腐蝕型
態特別注意，並列為厚度檢測與其他檢查之重點。
(A) 注入處。
(B) 滯流區(Deadlegs)。
(C) 保溫層下之腐蝕(CUI)。
(D) 土壤介面處。
(E) 蒸汽凝結處、銨鹽冷凝處、高溫硫化物環境下不同等級的碳
鋼接合處、多相流體混合交會處、沈積物（如污泥、結晶、
結焦等）下。
(F) 沖蝕及沖蝕與腐蝕之加成作用處。
a). 控制閥下游，特別是流體會氣化者。
b). 流孔板下游。
c). 泵浦出口。
d). 流體流向改變處，如彎頭之內緣及外緣。
e). 干擾流體流動導致產生擾流處（如銲道、溫度計插入
點、法蘭等）之下游。
存有以下條件，宜輔以其他非破壞檢測
(A) 應力腐蝕裂紋產生區。
a). 沃斯田鐵系不銹鋼，在保溫層或沈積物下、或墊圈及其他之間隙等部位，
因濕氣及氯化物造成之氯化物應力腐蝕。
b). 敏化之沃斯田鐵系合金鋼材，遭受硫化物、凝結濕氣或氧氣導致之聚硫酸
(Polythionic acid)應力腐蝕。
c). 苛性鹼脆化應力腐蝕。
d). 未經應力釋除熱處理管線之胺液(Amine)應力腐蝕。
e). 碳酸鹽應力腐蝕。
f). 含H2S酸水系統管線之應力腐蝕。
g). 氫起泡及氫誘發破裂（HIC）。
(B) 內襯或沈積物下之腐蝕。
(C) 疲勞裂紋常發生在應力集中之處，例如歧管或材料熱膨脹係數不同材料之之接
合焊銲道。
(D) 潛變為材料因時間、溫度及應力三者之影響而劣化之現象。在溫度過高之情形
下，材料會發生機械性質與顯微組織之變化導致材料強度降低。1.25Cr低合
金鋼在482℃(900℉)以上有發生潛變裂紋。
(E) 低合金鋼（特別是2.25Cr-1Mo合金鋼材料）及肥粒鐵系不銹鋼材料因有回火脆
化之現象，應留意其低溫脆裂之問題。
(F) 超冷之溫度下輸送水或水溶液，易因結冰使流體體積膨脹，造成管線破裂

檢查結果予以初步判定

Testing Cryogenic Tank Walls with AE






Global Monitoring - Sensors detect AE signals
from considerable distances, making this
method ideal for global monitoring of large
vessels and systems. Identified problem areas
can then be inspected using other NDT methods.
Minor Disturbance of Insulation - Only small
holes in insulation are required for sensor
mounting.
On-Line Testing. Opening a tank introduces
oxygen into the tank. When the tank is put back
into service the corrosion process starts all over
again.
Cost Reduction. In ammonia applications, it
can cost up to $1,000,000 just for a nitrogen
purge.. The use of AE can reduce plant
maintenance costs considerably, while
increasing the information available about plant
integrity. Plant downtime for inspection is also
minimized.
Rapid Inspection - The actual AE test takes a
matter of hours, and in some cases,
considerably less. No comparable method can
provide 100% volumetric inspection in the same
amount of time.
Permanent Record of Test - Data is digitized
and stored on disk, providing a permanent
record of

Fitness-For-ServiceAPI 579-1/ASME
FFS-1
 Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessments are quantitative
engineering evaluations that are performed to demonstrate the
structural integrity of an in-service component that may contain
a flaw or damage.
 This Standard provides guidance for conducting FFS
assessments using methodologies specifically prepared for
pressurized equipment. The guidelines provided in this Standard
can be used to make run-repair-replace decisions to help
determine if pressurized equipment containing flaws that have
been identified by inspection can continue to operate safely for
some period of time.
 These FFS assessments are currently recognized and
referenced by the API Codes and Standards (510, 570, & 653),
and by NB-23 as suitable means for evaluating the structural
integrity of pressure vessels, piping systems and storage tanks
where inspection has revealed degradation and flaws in the
equipment.
 The Fitness-For-Service assessment procedures in this
Standard cover both the present integrity of the component
given a current state of damage and the projected remaining life.
 Assessment techniques are included to evaluate flaws including:
general and localized corrosion, widespread and localized
pitting, blisters and hydrogen damage, weld misalignment
and shell distortions, crack-like flaws including
environmental cracking, laminations, dents and gouges,
and remaining life assessment procedures for components
operating in the creep range.
 In addition, evaluation techniques are provided for condition
assessment of equipment including resistance to brittle fracture,
long-term creep damage, and fire damage.

Applicability and Limitations of the
FFS Assessment Procedures
 The FFS assessment procedures in this Standard
were developed to evaluate the pressure
boundaries of pressure vessels, boiler
components, piping, and shell courses of storage
tanks with a flaw resulting from single or multiple
damage mechanisms.
 The concepts presented in this Standard may
also be used for the assessment of non-pressureboundary components such as supports.
 Fitness-For-Service procedures for fixed and
floating roof structures, and bottom plates of
tanks are covered in Part 2 of API 653.
Assessment Techniques and
Acceptance Criteria
 Level 1 Assessment: may be performed
either by plant inspection or engineering
personnel
 Level 2 Assessment: would typically be
conducted by plant engineers,or engineering
specialists experienced and knowledgeable in
performing FFS assessments.
 Level 3 Assessment: primarily intended for
use by engineering specialists experienced
and knowledgeable in performing FFS
assessments.
