Identification of actual root causes that enable the User to implement effective corrective actions and prevent the recurrence of failures.
1. Process, procedure, or misuse failures
• Evidence collection
• Process mapping and deviation analysis
• Root causes and preventive actions
2. Failures of components, systems, and equipment
• Pipelines, turbines, structures, and equipment
• Operating and maintenance conditions
• Metallurgical, mechanical, and design verification
Outcome: actual cause + corrective actions to prevent recurrence of the failure.
Field evidence
• Operating conditions
• Maintenance history
• Photographs and samples
• Material traceability
• Personnel interviews
Technical studies
• Fractography
• Microstructure
• Mechanical testing
• NDT / inspection
• Corrosion and chemical analysis
Engineering validation
• Design and calculation
• Actual vs. expected loads
• Material and welding
• Service life
• Failure scenarios
Components: pipelines, turbines, rotating equipment, structures, and pressurized systems.
Mechanism: fracture, fatigue, corrosion, overload, embrittlement, or manufacturing defect.
Decision: repair, replacement, redesign, operational adjustment, or specification change.
RCA TECHNIQUES ACCORDING TO EN62740
The EN62740 standard presents a set of techniques for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that help investigate events, failures, incidents or non-conformities in a structured and systematic way.
