Smart Power Piping Management System
SPPMS (Smart Power Piping Management System) is a pipe management system geared to thermal power plants, beefed up with realtime pipe status monitoring and life assessment technology.
Power piping bridging boiler header to turbine inlet, carrying hot and high-pressure steam way long, is subjected to the degradation and deformation at ease, which would cause fatal damage to the piping eventually. Damage to the piping can trigger the failure of the main unit or peripherals, even worse, likely leading to the shutdown of the power plant to incur huge socio-economic losses. SPPMS monitors the condition of pipes in realtime to prevent such pipe accidents predictably, which comprise a '3D pipe displacement measuring device' managing realtime 3D movements of power piping, a 'temperature monitoring sensor' sensing the temperature, and an 'applied load measuring device' monitoring the self-weight and load. Each measuring device puts forth basic data through which enabling comprehensive assessment and interpretation of the pipe conditions.

Crack in stress-concentratedEven today, the piping management system by individual power plants stays limited to retain only the records of hanger indicator travels before and after overhaul, leaving 3D displacement movement that occurs in pipes during operation totally unmeasurable and untraceable. Likewise, the plant has been dependent on short-term maintenance practices so far, so that it becomes unaffordable to map out fundamental proactive measures.
Even today, the piping management system by individual power plant stays limitedly to retain only the records of hanger indicator travels before and after overhaul, leaving 3D displacement movement that occurs in pipes during operation totally unmeasurable and untraceable. Likewise, the plant has been dependent on short term maintenance practices so far, so that it becomes unaffordable to map out fundamental proactive measures.
Since pipes are installed geometrically in a 3D structure, they are liable to go through unanticipated damages like cracks and ruptures, in the case that they tend not to expand to the extent of the design, or they expand over the extent, due to malfunctioning of pipe support devices, interference with the structure, errors in pipe design or the like. Such damages happen to give rise to sudden plant knock-off and their resulting repairs, which would cost huge socio-economic losses therewith.
In every power plant, a large number of pipe support devices like hangers and snubbers have been installed for the purpose to support the self-weight and thermal expansion load of the pipes. However, it may happen more often to miss the right timing of essential maintenance for the pipe support devices because it is not intuitively easy to sort out the cycles for the maintenances and reparation for such devices.
Since most pipe support devices are located in hazardous areas of remote or high-temperature places, the accessibility is too virtually obstructed to carry out detail inspection, along with exposure to safety accidents.
Featuring realtime remote monitoring on changes in 3D movement such as pipe displacement, temperature, and load.
By way of a comparative analysis between the original design value set (design displacement) and the displacement resulting from the operation (operation displacement), the pipe accident can be predicted, whereupon the measures required for such piping can be taken swiftly so that the integrity and safety of piping can be maintained in one piece.
Most pipe support devices are installed in hazardous areas such as high places and high temperatures /pressures, which makes it not easy to access them. Introducing SPPMS workable to monitor the piping remotely can prevent safety accidents preemptively.
Data purposed to diagnose the condition of pipes are being collected in realtime in SPPMS, which can be compatibly utilized as a basis for prognosing and sorting out the other pipe damage problems
