Integrity Solutions Goup Thermal Evaluation Program (TEP)

The TEP Program Provides a User-friendly Environment for the Determination of Thermal Life and Comparison of Aging Times and Durations of Various Materials. This Software Is Useful in All Industries Where Age Related Degradation and Thermal Comparisons Are Necessary. This Is Especially True in the Nuclear Power Industry Where a Specific Life Often must Be Demonstrated for Safety Related Equipment. Based upon the Arrhenius Equation for the Determination of Time/Temperature Degradation, the Program Allows the User to Quickly and Accurately:

• Calculate Constant Aging Time Required to Simulate a Specified Time/Temperature Profile, Given a Material Activation Energy and a Constant Aging Temperature.
  
• Calculate a Constant Aging Temperature Required to Simulate a Specified Time/temperature Profile, Given a Material Activation Energy and a Constant Aging Time.
• Compare the Severity of Two Time/Temperature Profiles Acting upon a Material with a Specified Activation Energy.
