This Paper endorses an overview of nondestructive test (NDT) carried out for remaining life assessment of 40TPH (CFBC) boiler. A failure in any part of boiler ultimately affects the shutdown of plants and affects on power generationwhich leads to heavy losses. The NDT plays a key role in boiler maintenance and its prevention from failure and preventivemaintenance of boilers aids in finding out various metal fractures, swallowing of metal tubes, metal removal due to corrosionand erosion, fractures due to fatigue failure can also be noticed in the early stages. In this paper different non-destructivetest carried out such as visual inspection, dimension measurement, Ultrasonic test based on available plant dataand thisresults of residual life assessment providenot only a basis for further maintenance, but also estimated time for reparationorrenewal. Ultimately it reduces cost of power plant.
