This document discusses potential failure locations in boiler tubes due to internal corrosion including hydrogen attack, which occurs on the waterside of boiler tubes and can cause cracking; caustic gauging, where caustic cleaning solutions can cause thinning and cracking of boiler tubes; and acid phosphate corrosion, where acid cleaning solutions corrode boiler tube material.
