GSA metallurgical testing laboratory
 

Quick Quote

 
One (1) failed NAVCO S20 relief valve from a 4” natural gas line was submitted to our laboratory for a steel failure investigation.

1) Based upon the performed metallurgical testing it is our opinion that the failure occurred by a reverse bending fatigue
mechanism. 

2) Fatigue cracking initiated at the center of the weld bead, deposited over the mating surfaces of two body sections, joined by a threaded connection. 

3) The weld joint geometry formed a plane of stress concentration through the center of the face, creating favorable conditions for initiation and propagation of fatigue cracking.
 
EXPERIENCE is the key
 
Our staff has experience dealing with government facilities concerning component failure investigations. Rapid turn-around, direct questions and answers so that root cause determination of the metal failure investigation can be determined expeditiously and in a cost effective manner. Many times component failures returned from the field have impact on the remaining parts still in service. Our engineers are EXPERIENCED in making recommendations concerning the potential for additional failures based on the supplied client information.

The MSi Engineering Staff has industrial experienced with the use, manufacturing and failure analysis of the following materials:

Plain Carbon & Alloy Steel
Tool Steel
300 / 400 / Cast Stainless Steel
Aluminum
Nickel Base
Copper / Brass / Bronze Alloys
Tool Steels
Titanium Alloys
Gray & Ductile Cast Iron

When you need GSA metal failure analysis and GSA corrosion testing services you need an experienced lab with depth in all departments required to determine root cause of the problem of failure. Visit our Learning Center to see examples of previous failure investigations. The format is direct and to the point with stated conclusions and photographs to make the report easier to understand. Please call us talk with one of our staff engineers if you have a failed component or corrosion problem that needs solving. But crime but it
