[Case Study] Replacement Work of Elbow Piping at Power Plant

We would like to introduce an example of on-site piping replacement work that reduces management burden!

We received an order for products for the replacement work of elbows with longitudinal weld seams, which we delivered for the after-service project for the thermal power plant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nagasaki Factory. This project involved the on-site replacement of aging piping used under high temperature and high pressure conditions. Instead of the same elbows supplied previously, we provided a new product that incorporates many advantages, which was well received. The specifications of the product that were appreciated are as follows: - Seamless elbows to eliminate longitudinal weld seams. - To reduce the workload within the engineering manufacturer, a water pressure test was conducted at Benkan Kiko at a pressure of 1.3 times the design pressure. - Suspension brackets were installed to facilitate easy replacement work on-site. By conducting the water pressure test at 1.3 times the design pressure in advance at Benkan Kiko, we can avoid the risk of performing a water pressure test at 1.3 times the design pressure on aging piping. We have confirmed and experienced effects such as delivery management and workload reduction, and we have received high evaluations, including subsequent orders for after-service projects under the same scheme.
