ResidualLifeAssessment(RLA)
Residual Life of a material (especially an engineering material) is the time period during which it shall retain the fitnessforservice
characteristics.Extensiveandexpensiveinspectionprograms,besidestheroutineoperations,havetobeundertakeninordertomonitorthe

The importance of conducting RLA studies also arises from the regulations that are in place for a number of industrial equipments, like

ConductingRLAStudies
Traditionally, Visual inspection has been the method for carrying out RLA studies, but soon it was realized that a scientific method or
approachwasrequiredforassessingtheResidualLifeofextremelycostlyequipments.Nondestructivetestingtechniquesaremadeuseof,
besides other techniques, in conducting RLA studies. A combination of careful selection of such techniques alongwith identification of the
critical areas where failures can occur is extremely important for conducting RLA studies. Before planning to conduct the RLA study, a
numberofinformationneedstobecollectedliketheprevioushistoryofthetestcomponent,previoustesthistoryofthecomponent,periodof
