Piping failures, Thickness Monitoring Programs
Translating a Mexican engineering document that pertains to piping failures, and in one section, the types of piping wall thicknesses are listed:
Espesor actual (actual thickness)
Espesor mínimo (minimum thickness)
ESPESOR DE RETIRO (?)
I have looked all over, but cannot find the proper English term for this type of thickness. Does anyone have any suggestions? Even more valuable would be the link to where you found the information, as I need to enhance my research skills.
Gracias de antemano!
