    The Production Department of Osaka Gas is addressing activities of enhancing reliability at lower cost by performing maintenance of equipment properly at proper time. Among the activities, equipment diagnosis technology is of great importance, which checks soundness of equipment and detects signs of deterioration of equipment.
    We are systematizing such equipment diagnosis technology, and are going ahead with the construction of a new system for maintenance. This paper describes the online Inspection techniques for vessels and piping, which mainly use ultrasonic methods.

    An intermetallic compound, Ni3Al shows an unusual property that strength increases with higher temperature in the range below 900°C.
    Accordingly, it seems to be applicable to turbine blades for jet engines. However, it is well known that the hot workability is markedly inferior.
    From these viewpoints, the effects of a small amount of B and Hf on hot workability, microstructures, and high temperature strengths were investigated.
    The specimens used in this experiment contained about 11% Al and indicated duplex structures of γ and nearly 30% γ′. Therefore, they showed on reverse dependence on temperature with regard to high temperature strength.
    Adequately added B and Hf to the specimens improved creep rupture strength at 750 and 800°C and hot workability.

    We present a new and simplified method of estimating residual stress in welded structures using inherent strain. The method makes use of elastic analysis with the finite element method, and can be used to calculate the welding residual stress in three-dimensional structures. The method is used to efficiently compute the residual stress remaining in complex welded structures. The inherent strain distribution at a welded joint of a pipe penetrating the spherical head of a pressure vessel and a socket-welded pipe joint can be assumed to be present in a simple distribution, and the residual stress was calculated by elastic analysis. Inherent strain distributions were inferred from those of welded joints with simple shapes. The estimated residual stress distributions using these inferred inherent strains agree well with the results of measurements of a mock-up specimen. Welding residual stress in three-dimensional structures with complicated shape can be estimated by using the proposed method in this paper.

    This Plant Inspection System lies at the cutting edge of facility maintenance.
    The primary purpose of this inspection is to keep the plant in good working order, and to avoid the unscheduled shutdown of the plant by unexpected failure of plant components, such as TW, VE, RE, HE, and Pipes.
    Both plant safety and effective production require a higher quality and larger volume of plant inspection activities.
    As one of the most advanced systems currently available, Super Kensa-Man offers the latest solution to the needs of more elaborate maintenance activities for inspection work.
    Super Kensa-Man supports the following management activities concerning plant inspection:
    -Inspection data management
    -Inspection planning
    -Budgeting
    -Inspection drawing management
    -Diagnosis/predictive maintenance
    Super Kensa-Man provides user-friendly system features:
    -A graphical user interface especially designed for diagnostic activities
    -An inspection drawing environment applicable for both vector and raster data format (thus enabling easy use of the existing inspection drawing)
    -Flexibility and expandibility for reflecting the latest change in the execution procedures of inspection activities.
