Abstract
The overall objective of the AMASS project is to develop an on-line surveillance system which monitors the condition of boiler tubing in s ervice and reduces the number of forced outages due to degradation by erosion, corrosion and overheating. The system will integrate the outp uts of on-line and off-line techniques, together with tube life algori thms to give real-time estimates of tube life probability. This paper presents the planned project objectives and the results achieved to da te.
