Problem Summary
Anomaly Description:
A steam leak was discovered from the welding area on the T-Piece.
Root causes:
The leak was caused by a crack on the welding. The pipe was also reported to have an extremely low remaining wall thickness (through-wall).
Integrity concerns:
The pipe was in a critical condition with measurements at the lowest remaining wall thickness (through-wall).
Due to the remaining wall thickness (through-wall), the pipe could suddenly rupture/fail anytime and therefore the integrity of the piping was a major concern.
