    Residual stress measurements in vintage LPG pressure vessel welds, via neutron diffraction
    (Materials Research Forum LLC, 2016-07-03) Sozen, K; Paradowska, AM; Reid, M; Griffins, R; Daniels, JE
    Systems in power, petrochemical and refinery plants are subject to innumerable degradation mechanisms. Welds are the critical regions in such components. The focus of this project is on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage vessels manufactured for Australian refineries in the 1960s. Residual stresses were measured in seam and circumferential welds extracted from the vessels. The aim of this project is to measure the residual stress storage vessel. This data will be used to engineer a procedure to repair the vintage steel plates of the pressure vessels with modern consumables and welding techniques. © The Authors
