Abstract
Quite few analytical flow assessments methods as specific standard and guidelines there have been developed in recent years. Today, as one of a most comprehensive assessment procedure is SINTAP — Structural INTegrity Assessment Procedure. The SINTAP introduced the basic principles of R6 (rev. 4) and ETM. SINTAP procedure is possible to performed assessment for inhomogeneous configurations such as strength mis-matched weldments and an effect of residual stresses. Nevertheless, the SINTAP procedure take into account temperature transition region from ductile-to-brittle behavior of material. In the paper the SINTAP procedure was applied to the failure analysis of cracked component. By results of used example was shown that SINTAP procedure gives reliable conservative results where the safe factor decreasing by increasing the quality of input data.
