核电厂复杂几何形状焊缝的超声信号位置直观显示对缺陷判断具有重要参考价值。核电厂反应堆压力容器(RPV)接管内表面通常带有一定的倾斜角度,采用传统的矩形B扫描成像算法,接管与筒体焊缝超声B/C扫描成像显示存在显示不直观、缺陷定位不准确的突出问题。本文提出了直线与直线、圆弧与椭圆弧通过圆弧相切连接的算法,利用绘制直线、弧的库函数实现轮廓的绘制并将超声信号显示在轮廓之中,形成了带轮廓的B扫描图像。通过计算在轮廓中穿过闸门线的A扫描信号的阈值,形成马鞍面形状的C扫描图像。核电厂RPV接管与筒体焊缝现场超声扫查数据验证了该算法的有效性和实用性。 相似文献

The PISC III Programme involves validation of techniques and procedures and, within this programme, evaluation has now started on the ability to discriminate service induced defects from indications produced by fabrication defects in A 508 Class 2 material when sensitive techniques are used.Action No. 2 of PISC III: Full Scale Vessel Testing is designed for the performance demonstration of three groups of inspection procedures:
- • - Mechanized ASME type procedures with variable recording level and complementary techniques
- • - Industrial full ISI procedures (mechanized);
- • - Several detailed evaluation procedures (generally mechanized) based on advanced techniques to be used on defective areas detected by usual inspection.
- • - vessel material and welds containing important service and fabrication defects but mixed with base material defects and small welding defects;
- • - nozzle to shell welds with typical service defects, often well isolated and distant from other defective areas in rather clear material and/or welds;
- • - nozzle inner radius defects;
- • - artificially heat and unbranched fatigue defects in the test blocks assembled to simulate a PWR pressure vessel wall portion.

The primary objective of this study is to develop a simple methodology which, when coupled with existing observations on pressure vessel behavior, provides an interrelation between nuclear pressure vessel weld integrity and the parameters of the in-service inspection program, including inspection sample size, frequency and efficiency. The basic input information on rate of generation and development of weld flaws of different sizes and types is drawn primarily from published British and German studies taken almost exclusively from welds of non-nuclear pressure vessels. The input information is varied to reflect differences in weld quality and uncertainty of input data. A modified Markov process is employed and a computer code written to obtain numerical results. If it is assumed that the quality of nuclear reactor welds are the same as the quality of non-nuclear welds (i.e. the data base), then, based on the limitations of the model, the predicted critically sized defect concentration is about 50 × 10−7 per weld at the end of weld life for welds under both high and low stress if ASME, Section XI, In-Service Inspection Requirements are applied. Based on the British data and the less stringent inspection standards (compared to Section XI) the estimated number of critically sized defects per weld at the end of weld life is 250 × 10−7 and 170 × 10−7 per weld for high and low stressed welds, respectively. If it is assumed that the nuclear reactor pressure vessel welds have superior quality to the non-nuclear welds, then the model predicts an appropriately lower probability of critical defects at the end of weld life. A variety of other sensitivity studies are included in the report. Also, a simple methodology to provide an optimal weld inspection program which is consistent with a minimum cost criteria is outlined. It should be noted that the results of this study are based on the limitations of the simple model that was used and on a variety of corresponding assumptions. 相似文献

The influence of the following actions on the probability of brittle failure of the reactor pressure vessels will be estimated by probabilistic fracture mechanics: ultrasonic inspection of the welds; hydro-test of the vessel; and crack growth by normal, upset and test conditions. Taking into account that the in-service inspections and tests are done at short intervals the reliability can be shown to be extremely high. 相似文献

The X-ray computed CT scanner, capable of producing sharp tomograms, was expected to become a practical and revolutional means in nondestructive inspection in the industrial field.In Japan, the development of the Linac X-ray CT scanner is under way for the inspection of SCC in welds of a nuclear power plant. For development of the Linac-CT, the preliminary experiments for the inspection of SCC artificial defects were performed using a 420 kVp industrial X-ray CT scanner (TOSCANER 4200) which had been developed by Toshiba Corporation. This paper includes the background of this program and the summary of preliminary experiments for X-ray CT. 相似文献

The fuel pins of fast reactor encounter high pressure, high temperature, high neutron fluence and sodium environment in their life time. This demands for high level of end plug weld integrity and hence, the acceptance criteria for these welds are very stringent. The defects usually encountered in the weld joints are micro-cracks, porosity, lack of fusion, root-pocket, etc. Amongst these weld defects, root-pocket at the weld joint is the most prominent defect observed in FBTR fuel fabrication campaign. The present paper deals with the FEM analysis of the weld zone having different sizes of root-pockets for the pressure developed inside the pin due to fission gas release and creep damage due to higher operating temperature. 相似文献

This paper evaluates the applicability of eddy current inversion techniques to the sizing of defects in Inconel welds with rough surfaces. For this purpose, a plate Inconel weld specimen, which models the welding of a stub tube in a boiling water nuclear reactor is fabricated, and artificial notches machined into the specimen. Eddy current inspections using six different eddy current probes are conducted and efficiencies were evaluated for the six probes for weld inspection. It is revealed that if suitable probes are applied, an Inconel weld does not cause large noise levels during eddy current inspections even though the surface of the weld is rough. Finally, reconstruction of the notches is performed using eddy current signals measured using the uniform eddy current probe that showed the best results among the six probes in this study. A simplified configuration is proposed in order to consider the complicated configuration of the welded specimen in numerical simulations. While reconstructed profiles of the notches are slightly larger than the true profiles, quite good agreements are obtained in spite of the simple approximation of the configuration, which reveals that eddy current testing would be an efficient non-destructive testing method for the sizing of defects in Inconel welds. 相似文献

The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is the most critical component in nuclear power plants, housing the reactor core and serving as a part of the primary system pressure boundary. Because of its proximity to the reactor core, the RPV is subjected to high fast neutron flux, losing ductility and fracture toughness. At the events of pressurized thermal shock (PTS), highly embrittled RPV may not have a sufficient safety margin for fast fracture. The US NRC PTS rule requires that the reference temperature (RTPTS) should be limited to ensure sufficient safety margins against PTS. RTPTS=270°F was defined as the screening criterion for axial welds based on extensive quantitative evaluation of associated risks. For circumferential welds, a technical margin of 30°F was added to account for the effects of flaw orientation without same level of quantitative analysis. In this paper, the validity of the technical margin for circumferential welds is examined by comparing the quantitative risks depending on the flaw orientation. First, the result of the original work on axial welds was reproduced. Then, the risk associated with circumferential flaws was evaluated at the identical condition except for flaw orientation. The difference in screening criteria due to flaw orientation was at least 55°F, suggesting that current PTS screening criteria for circumferential flaws do not represent the same level of associated risks as that for axial flaws. 相似文献
