Abstract
In this chapter the factors that have to be considered in designing and operating plant which is subjected to creep at elevated temperatures are introduced. Reference is made to historical developments. Improvements in plant utilization and efficiencies by the use of new materials, design modifications and more refined lifetime assessment procedures are discussed briefly. Methods of estimating the remaining useful lifetimes of plant that has been in service for a period are also considered. Finally the main aims of the book are outlined.
