Estimate of Remaining Operating Lifetime of Penstock Metal Lining with Due Regard for Its Actual Thickness

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

A method is examined for estimating remaining penstock metal lining operating lifetime with due regard for all conditions in which it operates. An estimate is presented for the remaining operating lifetime of penstock metal lining at the penstocks of the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, with due regard for actual lining thickness.
