A system and method for monitoring the operating conditions of a steam turbine and developing an adaptive inspection interval includes access to a digital data storage archive containing information relating to use and operation of comparable steam turbines and plant/service events, one or more turbine operational condition sensors for monitoring steam quality in real time during operation of the steam turbine. A processor calculates a steam quality value based upon cation conductivity of the steam used to operate the steam turbine as measured by the sensors. The processor uses the calculated steam quality information either alone or together with other acquired operational and parametric data to determine an adapted inspection interval for the steam turbine. The processor produces an output which includes the determined adapted inspection interval and may additionally include updated maintenance and repair schedules. A method for adapting an inspection interval for a particular steam turbine at a particular plant involves considering a calculated steam quality of the steam provided to the turbine, considering any available corrosion diagnostics data obtained during any turbine stand-still lay-off times, considering any relevant turbine fleet information and historical plant/service event information, and evaluating these parameters and informations to determine an adapted maintenance interval for the steam turbine. The method includes calculating a steam quality value in accordance with a predetermined formula based on a real-time measured conductivity of the steam provided to the turbine during operation and generating a output specifying an inspection interval adapted to the particular steam turbine and plant of operation.
