Automation of fracture and fatigue assessment procedures (BS 7910) for engineering critical assessment
  • Decision-support software designed to assist engineers in evaluating the integrity of pipelines, pressure equipment and structures containing flaws
  • Rigorous application of the revised BS 7910:2005 fracture assessment procedures
  • Leading software adopted by fitness-for-purpose engineers
  • NEW FEATURES

    • Print assessment reports directly to PDF
    • Export assessment results directly to Microsoft Excel
    • Enhanced user-friendly interface
    • Includes the current edition of BS 7910 in PDF format
    Features and Benefits

    • A wide range of flaw geometries for flat plates, curved shells and bars/bolts including surface, through thickness, embedded and corner flaws
    • Calculation of critical flaw dimensions, material properties and applied/residual stresses
    • Allows the determination of limiting conditions for design, operation and life extension of the assessed component
    • Automatic sensitivity analysis options for most input parameters for fracture calculations allowing the user to assess changes in design, operating conditions and tolerances with regard to their effect on related safety factors
    • Input of user-defined reference stresses and K solutions
    • Choice of SI and US units
    • Charpy toughness correlation and yield strength calculation toolkit
    • Substantially expanded software help program via the electronic user manual
    • Technical and software support available from TWI experts
    Applications

    The engineering critical assessment (ECA) concept is an accepted practice and the BS 7910 procedures are routinely applied in a range of industries including:
    • Pressure vessels
    • Pipelines - on and offshore
    • Offshore structures
    • Storage tanks
    • Buildings
    • Bridges
    • Ships
    • Aircraft
    • Wind turbine structures
    • Power plants (fossil, hydro and nuclear)
    • Other structural components
    Training

    CRACKWISE® Training Workshop - 1 day training workshop intended for engineering staff involved in fitness-for-purpose assessment.

    Practical application to BS 7910 procedures for the assessment of flaws in structures - 3-day course to provide practising engineers with a firm foundation for the application of BS 7910 to the assessment of flaws using fitness-for-purpose methods.
