Residual Life Assessment

In the industrial world, there is a very large number of structures, machines or components for which Residual (remnant) Life Assessment (RLA) is needed.

Because when an equipment/structure has reached its finite design lifetime, its owner has to ask himself crucial questions, such as “Can I continue to use it as it is now and without danger?”

This webinar deals with this issue and provides keys, considering that most of the standards are intended for design only and not for the extension of the service life-time of old equipment.
