3D view

The map, painted onto the boiler. It takes the map's place until you go back to the map; close this panel to give the model the whole width.

Model

This plant's own model, when one has been published for it; otherwise built from this boiler's dimensions. A model file (.glb) from this computer can be loaded instead; it stays in this browser, nothing is uploaded.

Surface mapping

Assign each mesh to an Entropy surface: the five furnace walls and every evaporator and superheater panel face. Largest first. Saved per model, so it is aligned once.

Alignment

Elevation is computed from the model's own geometry against one shared datum, so a reading at +100 mm lands at the same height on every wall. Values are millimetres; type them, or use the arrows.

Elevation check ring

Draws a bright band at one true elevation across every mapped surface. If the walls agree it reads as one continuous ring around the boiler; wherever it steps, that surface is out.

Each cell at its own latest erosion rate. Proximity worst case
Each cell at the worst rate among its neighbours: localised wear. Local worst case
Each cell at the worst rate on its row of the same wall.

Each region reaches the bottom of its band in the year its first gauged cell does, at that cell's latest rate. A rate is the latest interval between two surveys; an AS LEFT starts a new coating, so it ends none. Counted over the surfaces in view.

Import

Thickness readings from an inspection workbook, by surface, tube and elevation. Each tab is one elevation (for example EL+14400), with a Tube No. column and L / C / R readings per year beside it; the layout is detected, not assumed.

Drop an inspection workbook, or click to choose

Read in this browser. The file never leaves it; only the numbers do.

Tag readings from TS / PW cells with their repair (Thermal Spray, Weld Build Up)

Elevation datum

Source files are usually referenced from the floor, while Entropy measures from the furnace refractory kick-out. Enter the distance between the two and every elevation shifts down by it. Then snap each one onto an elevation that already holds readings, so year-on-year data stacks on the same line instead of beside it.
