R5 (Assessment of High Temperature Components)

R5 (Assessment of High Temperature Components) is a safety evaluation process used in industries like power plants to ensure equipment operating at high temperatures remains reliable and safe. It involves analyzing materials, design, and operating conditions to identify potential risks of failure due to heat, wear, or material degradation. The assessment helps determine if components can withstand extreme conditions over time, guiding maintenance, material choices, and operational limits. Overall, R5 ensures that high-temperature parts function safely, minimizing the risk of accidents, costly downtime, or failure.
