    EXTERNAL CUI OF PRV
    DISCHARGE PIPEWORK

    API 576 Sec 5 Slide 2


    © Matthews Engineering Training Ltd
    API 510 CERT CORROSION UNDER
    INSULATION (CUI)

    Common location
    lagged PRV
    discharge pipes

    ..and sometimes inlet


    nozzles

    API 576 Sec 5 Slide 3

    PRV PIPEWORK RESTRAINT

    Check for correct


    restraint etc on
    silencer discharge
    pipes

    API 576 Sec 5 Slide 4

    API 510 CERT
    INCORRECT RESTRAINT

    Restraint /thermal stresses


    can be many times the
    pressure stress

    API 576 Sec 5 Slide 5

    API 510 CERT
    PLUGGING AND STICKING

    Plugging with process


    solids can block the PRV
    and/or cause sticking

    It can also cause ‘galling’ of


    the spindle/guide
    components

    API 576 Sec 5.5 Slide 6

    API 510 CERT

    CORRODED NOZZLE RING

    Corrosion
    initiated by
    seat leakage
    (incorrect
    material after
    poor
    upgrading)

    API 576 Sec 5 Slide 9

    API 510 CERT
    PRV PRE-POP DEFAULTS

    May be due to just


    ‘stiction’ or serious
    mechanical
    damage/corrosion

    Typical H2S attack

    SPRINGS CAN ALSO FAIL
    DUE TO SCC
    (a common source of PRV failure)

    API 576 Sec 5 Slide 11

    API 510 CERT SEAT DEFECTS
    Chatter

    Mating face of seat becomes


    worn by prolonged use and
    ‘chattering’

    Chatter can be caused by


    incorrect blowdown ring
    setting or too-low differential
    pressure
    Grooving (wire
    Fine stress-corrosion or drawing) of nozzle
    fatigue cracking on nozzle or seat
    sealing faces leads to
    eventual cracking and erosion Slide 12

    VALVE SEAT’WIRE’ DRAWING

    This is a common problem on steam service


    caused by PRVs ‘passing’ in service

    API 576 Sec 5 Slide 13

    API 510 CERT
    MISALIGNMENT
    PROBLEMS

    Stresses from connecting


    pipework can cause
    distortion and misalignment,
    giving increased stresses
    and wear

    STRESS CORROSION CRACKING
    (SCC)
    The most common mechanism
    on stainless steels and high
    Nickel alloys

    IT IS
    • Commonplace
    • Made worse by chlorides
    • A risk of failure by cracking
    • Notoriously unpredictable

    CREEP
    A time and temperature-dependent
    degradation mechanism

    Made worse by local


    ‘restraint’ stresses and
    inadequate PWHT during
    manufacture/ site welding

    TESTING

    •To detect creep 400 degC +

    •Grinding,etch and acetate

    PRV CORROSION :SUMMARY
    •Spring corrosion is one of the most common
    causes of failure

    •Plugging and sticking can be prevented by


    protecting the PRV with a rupture (bursting)
    disc

    •Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a


    common occurrence on stainless steel PRVs
    and rupture discs
