  • ABSTRACT A series of stean flow tests of electric motor operated valves (block valves), was performed at the Marshal I Stean Station In Terrel I, NC, as a secondary effort of the PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Program' conducted by EPRI on behalf of PNR utilities.

During this project a total of seven block valves were tested according to, the procedures developed by EPR I,f and the resu I ts are presented In th Is report~

T EPRI. PERSPECTIVE erolect Description At the request of part I cl patl ng PWR Utl 11 ti es EPR I developed an overall progran for the ful I scale testing of a representative set of primary system* safety and rel let valves.

The program was to assist the Pl'IR Utll ltles In meetlng*NUREG 0737,.Item 11.D.1.A requirements.;

Although not a formal part of theprog!'"'am, some block valve operabll lty data were also obtained during the rel lef valve

  • test Ing performed at Marshal I Stean Statl on In Terrel I, North Carol Ina. A total of seven block valve designs were tested under full pressure steam flow conditions.

Th ts report documents the block valve test Ing perf.ormed.

A separate report "EPRl-Marshal I Power Operated Rel let Valve Interim Test Data Report" CEPRI NP-2144-LD) documents the rel lef valve. testing perfonned at the Marshal I facll lty.

SUMMARY

NUREG-0578, TMl-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short-l'enn Recanmendatf ons",

documented several short-term recommendations as a result of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission CNRC) Investigation of the Three Mlle lsland-2 CTMl-2) accident~ One recommendation contained In the report cal led for ful l~scale testing to demonstrate operab 11 lty of rel *I ef and safety valves utl I !zed In the reactor coo I ant system of bolling water reactors and pressurized water reactors when subjected to the full range of expected operating and accident conditions.

The util fty owners of pressurized water reactors CPWRs) elected to implement a relief and safety valve testfng program managed by the Electric Power Research Institute CEPRI).

The PWR owners group provided EPRI with funding to conduct the program and established a Safety/Rel lef Valve Subcommittee and Technlcal Advisory Group to monltC:r EPRI activities.

As the f lrst stage of the overal I program, EPRI Initiated test Ing of rel lef* valves under real lstlc steam condltlpns.

The test! ng was conducted at the Marshal I valve I

test.facfil lty located Jn the Marshal I Steam Station on Lake Norman Jn Terrel I, North I

Carol Ina.

Duke Power cooperated extensively with EPRI Jn making the Marshall faclllty and test operations staff available for EPRI testing, and the Initial rel lef valve testing began Jn late June, 1980.

The primary objective of this project was to perform fut I-scale steam tests of rel lef valves representative of those tnstal led In PWRs operated by the sponsoring utll ity owners.

Addftlonal objectives were to obtafn rel Jef capacity f nformatf on on each rel fef valve and to obtain prel Jmlnary Information on electrlc motor operated CEMOV>

block valve performance.

At the Marshal I valve test facll fty, saturated steam at pressures up to 2500 psfg was uppl fed to the valve test sectfon through the steam supply.piping leading from the lgh pressure steam drum of Unit 12 at the Marshal I Steam Station.

The valve test section Included a relfef valve and an OOV ln-llne. The steam was passed through..

the valve test section and was discharged through the steam discharge piping to the atmosphere.

The utility owners of pressurized water reactors CPWRs) elected to lmplementarellef nd safety valve testl ng program managed by the Elactr I c Power Research Inst t tute CEPRI).

The PWR owners group provided EPRl.wtth funding to conduct the program and establ I shed a Safety/Rel lef Valve Subcommittee and Technical Advisory Group to monlta-EPRI activities.

I The tnlttal effort\\at EPRI lnvolved development of a program plan to establ lsh the I

scope and magnitude of safety and rel fef valve testing required.

As soon as pref fmfnary program requirements had been developed;. f.t *became evident that the requirements for a test.facility with the capability to test full-scale relief andsafety valves were beyond the resources of mo$1" exf stl ng test facf I ftl es *.

The only exfstf ng facl I tty which met sane of toe requf rerilents *for. the overal I test program was lnstal led at the Marshal I Stean Station on Lake Norman Jn Terrel I, North Carol f.na, *and was being used by Duke Power,. the pf ant owner, for rel let valve testing.

The Marshal I valve test facll fty had the capabll fty for testing valves with saturated stean at static.pressures up to 2,500 psf g and 300,000 lb/hr. flow.* This functional capabf 1 lty was adequate for rel lef valve testlng under steam conditions but not for afety valve testlng since the large PWR safety valves are rated at flOi¥s near 600,000 I b/hr.

The t nstrumentatl on of* the test sect I on *for the EMOV tests was I dentJ.cal to the Tnstrumentatt on.for* the PORV tests.

A dTscusston of al I test Instrumentation ts

  • presented here for user ~onven r ence.
  • The test Tnstrumentattoncan be categorized tntothree-.groups.

The first group of

'.. Instrumentation measured valve 'performance paraneters *. the second group monitored

. structural res!Dnse of the*test facility, and the third group provided evaluation data for acoust*tc.. sensors.

The test data presented In Section *3 were recorded from. the valve paraneter Instrumentation *.

The Instrumentation which measured valve performance paraneters consisted of sensors for pressure, differential pressure, temperature, valve stem position, Initiation of valve actuation, and operata-mota-current.

.Taps for pressure sensors were I ocated at the or If Ice f I ow meter In the steam_ supp I y piping, upstrean of the PORV tn* the PORV Inlet Instrument spool, downstream of the PORV In the *stean discharge piping, and either on the air supply 1 lne Cal r-operated valves) or on the pt lot discharge* I lne :Csolenotd-operated valves) to the.PORV operata-.

An add! ti ona I pressure tap was. I ocated on the second a Ir, supp I y ii ne to. the Contra I I

Components International CCCI) operata-when the CCI POR~ was lnstal led In th~ test sect I on.

VI sua I readout of the PORV upstrean and downstrean pressures were prov I dad by two pressure gauges which were located near the test section.

A third pressure gauge was added *during the Crosby, Dresser, and Target Rock PORV tests to monitor pf I ot discharge* pressure.

  • One differential pressure was measured at*the orifice flow meter.

There were f Ive thermocouples mounted on the valve test sectfon and the stean discharge pfpfng.

Two thermocouples measured the temperature of the steam flow through the Instrument spool upstream of the PORV and through the PORV out I et p Ip f ng.

Three thermocoup I es measured the surface tanperature of the I ri I et, out I et, and body of the PORV.

Indications of valve,stan. position were recorded for both the PORV.and EMOV vat.ve types.

For PORV valves with exposed stans, linear variable dlsplacement transducers 2-11

CLVDTs) were used.to Indicate stem position *. Acoustic sensors mounted on the body of.

the valve were used to Indicate total. opening and closing valve actuation times for Crosby and Dresser PORVs.

The stem position of the Target Rock PORV was Indicated two factory-suppl led position switches which Indicated open and closed positions *.

EJVOV operata-mota-current recordings wer.e obtained to monitor EMOV v~I ve action, and PORV event sw Itch record I ngs were obta I ned to. mon I tor PORV operator performance.

  • Flgures-2.. 2-1 and 2.2-2 show the location of the valve paraneter Instrumentation for the horizontal and vertical plplng.conf lguratlons of the test section, respectively.

Structural response of the test sect! on was measured by stral n gauges, accel eraneters, LVDTs and strain *pins lnstal led along the test section piping and on the valve bodies.

Strain gauges provided a measurement of strain at the 4-Jn. by 6-ln. reducer, the 6-ln. 90° elbow and the 3-in. 180° bend In the. stean supply piping, and at the 8-ln *.

elbow In the stean discharge piping during all tests.

One additional strain gauge i

was mounted on the valve stem of each Westlrghouse EJVOV block valve.

Linear variable displacement transducers CLVDTs_) and a*. triaxlal acceleraneter measured motion* of* the test section piping.

The accelerometer was mounted on the PORV outle flange.-

LVDTs were located at the 3-ln. 180° bend In the stean supply piping, at the PORV Inlet Instrument spool,.and at the 8.-ln. ell;>ow In the_ stean discharge piping..

Two stral..n pins were lnstal led In the snubbers which were* connected to the 8-ln. elbow In the stean discharge piping.

Auxll lary data were gathered during the valve tests by three acoustic senscrs lcx:ated 0

between the orlf Ice flow meter and the 3-ln. 180 bend In the stean supply piping, on the body of the PORV, and on the 4-ln *. Isolation valve I lne-In the steam discharge piping.

These acoustic sensor measurements were recorded to provide performance Information on the sensors under field conditions as wel I as to provide a data base on valve actuation characteristics.

Figures 2~2-3 and 2.2-4 show the location of both the structural response and acoustic sensor Instrumentation for the horizontal and vertical piping conf lguratlons of the test section, respectively.

l" 2.3.2 Summary of Instrumentation Procedures

. Prior to each day's testing of PoRVs or EMQVs, the data acgulsltlon equipment and.the.

sensors lnstal led around the test section. were checked and appropriate cal lbratJon and startup activities we~e performed to assure that the test data were obtained and recorded accurately.

Administrative controls for these Instrumentation p.rocedures were pr.av I ded In the Duke Power procedure number TS-019 * "EPR I RJRV Test I nstrumentatl on at Marshall Stean Station".

These procedures are summarized below.

Before the test section was pressurized each day, al I Instrumentation piping and wiring were checked for functional readiness *. Records for al I transducers were checked to verify that the cal lbratlons were current.

If the piping for test section pressure sensa-s Pfl, Pf2, Pf3 or PT4 had been disconnected for any. reason since previous tests, the Duke Power procedure, "Start-up Procedure for Pressure Loops" {Attachment to TS-019), was fol lowed.

Also, If the piping for the orifice differential pressure sensor FT1 or the orifice pressure sensor PT5 had been. d T sconnected,

  • the Duke Power procedure,* "Start-up Pr.ocedure for Ft ow Loop" (Attachment to TS-019), was fol lowed.

i The strip chart recorders were energized:. and their cal Tbratlons checked_accordlng t procedures provided by the manufacturer and Duke Power.

The FM tape recorders were also cal lbrated and cal lbratlon signals were* recorded as required~

Al I Instrumentation activities such as cal lbratTons, problems, and equipment changes were documented.

Fol lowing the day's testing, the test section was depressurlzed, the strip chart recorders were de-energized, and the recorded data were documented.

I Section 3 VPJ..VE TEST RESULTS

3.0 INTRODUCTION

The fol lowing seven subsectlons detaT I the test results for each electric mota-operated valve CEMOV> tested as part of the EPRI progran conducted at* Marshal I.

All subsections are organized In the same manner.

Each subsec.tlon begins with a description of the valve, followed_ by a chronology of the test sequence for the valve.

The test results, given next, are divided Into two parts.

The f Trst part presents the evaluation test results for the valve.

Because the evaluation tests were conducted uniformly for al I valves In accordance with the operating procedures summarized Jn Section 2.3.1, the results are formatted Identically In al I subsections.

The second part presents the supp I ementary test resu I ts wh f ch document a I I other eye I es of the EMOV, either before or after the evaluation test, while ft was Installed In the flershall valve test facll tty.

The eval uatf on and supplementary test data for each EMOV were read f ram the str Ip chart data records and tabulated on summary data sheets. In these tables the data are presented 1 n three groups for both the open 1 ng and c I os Ing portt ons of the valve cycle

. as Indicated by "-0" and "-C", respectlve*ly.

The three groups of data are:

lnltlal condftlons data, valve response data and final conditions data.

The Inltlal condlttons data are those test section data recorded before valve action was lnltlated.

The valve response data quantlfy the time Interval during whlch valve actlon occurred.

The f lnal conditions data are those test section data recorded after valve action was concluded.

The entrre valve cycle Is characterized In Figure 3.0-1 as a plot of valve stan posltlon versus time.

A typlcal plot of pressure versus tlme ls given Jn the same f Tgure.

Both dtagrans are I abeled to Indicate the tfmes l*n. the valve cycle fa-whlch test data were Included Jn the summary data tables and Jn the dlscussfon of test results.

The lnftlal condltlons and ffnal condltlons data presented for the valve opening actfon

.I are those data recorded at the points on the time axls labeled t 1 and t 3, respectively.

The openlng actlon valve response data were recorded Tn the tlme lnterval between t 1

26. 1980 with a Rotork 14-NAl operator.suppl led by Duke Power... The operator was set

.. at a t6rque switch settrng of 4 to. produce 110 _ft-lb torque on the valve stem which was reC:ommended by Westinghouse In order to close the valve.

On July 1, 1980 the test Et-OV was cycled against ful I flow at 2200 pslg for the first time.

The Et-OV did not close fully.

The valve position Indicator' measured a valve.

position of 30% of ful I open.

At ttie 30$ open valve position, the f I ow was approx! mate I y 138,500 lbs/hr.

The torque swltc.h setting was Increased.to 4-1/2toproduce130 ft-lb..

On demand, the valve was closed agar nst f u I I f I ow at 241 0. ps I g and went to

  • 28% of ful I-open-valve positl on, I.e., It only closed 72% of rated stroke.

The ta-que switch setting was Increased to Its maximum setting of 5 to obtain 170 ft-lb torque.

The EMOV was closed again against ful I flow at 2400 pslg and stopped at 22% of full-Open valve position.

The leakage flow was below the range of the *orifice measurement, so

  • an attempt was. made to do* a seat I eakage test,. but th Is test was aborted when ttie FDRV
  • downstrean pressure reached 260 ps I g.

The PORV was then closed to stop the I eakage.

  • The EMOV was closed with no flow, and the ?ORV.was opened to do a. final seat leakage test.

The EM:>V had closed to 0% of ful I-open and showed a 0.0 gpm leak rate.

On July 8, 1980 ttie Rota-k 14-NAl operatcr was removed fran the valve and the Westinghouse manual operator with a handwheel adapter was. lnstal led.

A cal lbrated torque wrench was obtal ned to establ !sh the requl red torque needed to close the va Ive.

The test rig was pressurized, the EM:>V was cycled twice, and a seat leakage test was performed w Ith a resu I ting I eak rate of 0.0 gpm.

The EMOV was then* opened and the. PORV was opened to establish ful I *flow.

The -Efv'OV was closed manually against ful I flow with the torque wrench.

At th Is po r nt a seat, I eakage test was conducted.

A I eak rate of a.aa8 gpm was measured *.

. The. test r I g.was then. I soi ated and test 1 ng was. d I scontf nued.

The* next day the estf.nghouse valve* representative added: grease,to the the' I as+' four threads* of. the stem.to aid r.n closing the valve.* The test rig was pressurfzeda~d again the EMOV.

was manuallyclosed with the aid of a torque wrench.

There was no observed reduction rn the required torque. The ~pp.lied torque required to fully close the valve was 11a ft~ I b.

The West I hghouse representatr ve prov I ded two we I dab I e stral.n. gauges *to be,: mounted on the valve stem.

This. work was flnfshed on the.*valve by July 21,, and testing was continued.

  • for ful I-closing. torque of 1sa* ft-lb *.
  • The test rig was pressurized and the EMOV was closed against ful I flow.

The valve went to the 20% of.ful 1-open_valve position.

The EMOV was closed the rest of the way by hand and a seat leakage test was performed.

Leakage readings were a.a gpm.

The EMOV was then cycled

The valve, opened and closed* against ful I* flow*, but blew the fuse n the electric supply to the operator on the closing portion of the cycle.

On July 22, 1980 an attempt: was made to.cycle ~the EMOV against ful I flow. wlthout::the Jumper rnstalledand It closed to* the 20%?f full-open*:valve posftlon.

The circ 1uit to bypass the torque switch was relnstal le~ and the EMOV was partially closed to[73%

  • .., 3.3.1 Yelye. QesccfatlQO The Westinghouse electric motor operated valve was a 3-ln., 1500-lb class valve which had a Llmltorque*model SM3-000-10 operator with a motor rated at 10 ft-lb torque.

The valve was a flexlble*wedge rising stem gate valve designed to Interrupt or Isolate flow.

,. The test Ing* discussed *below was***conducted. w I th *valve model M:>D03001Gwf39FN-I02000~ serial number 740004.

The Llmltorque operator was a model SM3-0oo.... 10.

The valve with the motor operator was tested as a block valve CEMOV> In the ~orlzontal conf lguratlon.

Ftgu~e 3.3...;1 Is a picture of. the valve Tnstal led In the test section at the Marshal I

_ faci I lty.

For use In the test progran, the valve body was adapted by welding a 3-fn. schedule 60 pf pe to th~ lnle_t and outlet __ sides of the valve.

Also, 31_6'stalnless steel, 500-lb class, 3-ln. raised face flanges were welded to the Inlet and outlet pipes.

3.3.2 !§st Chrooolog):'

The test valve was del lvered to the Marshal I facll Jty on December 11, 1980.

Between December 11, 1980 and January, 11, 1981 the valve was disassembled and the valve body

. was adapted for testing by the addition of flanges:.at the Inlet and outlet of th~

valve, The valve was reassembled and lnstal led Into the test section~* The Westinghouse representative was not present during these *actlvJtles or *the prel lmlnary testing of the valve.

On January 12, '1981, 19 cal lbratlon and checkout cycles were carried out at aimospherlc conditions.

During two additional full_ flow and pressure cycles the valve didn't fully close against ful I flow, as detal led In Section 3.3.4, and the valve was shipped

. to West I nghouse on January 13 for r9tiork at the request of the Westt nghouse representatl ve.

Westfnghouse'replaced the,Sf.B-000-lOoperator with a SB-00-15 operator, redesigned e yoke, and the motor operator was rewJred to close on position Instead of torque.

e*vafve was returned to the Marshal I facfl lty on January 26.

for lnstal latton Jn a horizontal operated valve was a 3-tn., 1500-lb class valve with It was designed for use as an Isolation valve and piping conf tguratlon.

--_The testing discussed below _was conducted with valve model 5J-1512, serial number E9l27-93-1 ~ The Rotork operator was a model 16-.NAl. _ Modtf lcattons-to both the valve*

and the valve operator were Implemented during supplementary_ testl ng prior to the eval uatton tests, as discussed In Section 3.4.4.

The valve w Ith the motor operator was tested as a block valve CEt-rlVl Jn a h_orlzontal piping configuration.

Figure 3.4-1 ts a picture of the _valve *1nstal led In the test section at the Marshal I facl I ltya Table 3.4-1 presents general valve Information.

A diagram of the test valve Is shCMn In Fl gure 3.4-2.

For-use In the test*progran, the valve body-was-adapted by welding a 3-ln. schedule 60 pipe to the Inlei" and outlet sides of the valve.

Also~ 316 stainless steel, 1500-lb class, 3-In. raised face flanges were welded To the lnlei" and outlet pipes.

3.4.2Iest Chronology The test valve was del tvered to the Marshal I fact I lfy on June 19, 1980.

Between June 19 and July 29, 1980 the valve was disassembled and the valve body was adapted for

-testing by the addition of flanges at the Inlet and outlet of the valve.

On August 12, 1980 the valve.was reassembled Jn_ the presence of the Anchor/Darling representative.

On August 14, 1980 the tesi" valve was.tnstal led In the test section._

Pretest ca I t brat I on and checkout act t v IT f es were started on AugusT 15 and I asted unttl _

September 25.

During This Time, the Torque requtremenTs for operation of the valve were evaluated-and different valve operators were used as detailed In Section 3.4.4.

During the f trst 25 cycles of the valve for checkouT and torque eval.uatlon, tncludtng 4 cycles at stean flow conditions, the valve was disassembled and Inspected twice.

Since sane degradaTlon of Internal components was observed, as discussed In SecTlon

.4.4, the valve was rei"urned to the Anchor/Dari Ing fact I ltles at Wll I lamsport, PA for refurbishment after the second Inspection.

The orifice pressure upstrean of the EMOV varied from 2405 to 2430 pslg prior to valve opening and from 2340 to 2370 pslg prior to valve closing again.st ful I flow.

Prior.to EMOV closure, the PORV upstrean pressure was between 2230 and 2260 pslg and the* PORV dowlistrean pressure was *between* 490 and 500 ps r g.

The total openl ng actuation fme varied between 6.6-and 6.7 seconds for the f Ive cycles and the total closing time arted. between 7.6 and 8.0 seconds.

Slmllarly, the opening stroke time var led from 6.5 and 6.6 seconds* and the closing stroke time varied between.6.1 and 6*.2 seconds for the. cycles.

~.OPERATION 7. The seventh operation, another valve leakage test, was conducted with an orlflce pressure of 2430 pslg.

A leak rate *of 0.058 gpm was determined.

OPERATION 8. There were flve cycles of the EMOV during Operation 8, a repeat of Operatt ons 4 and* 6 *. The or If tee pressure upstrean of the EMOV_ varied *from: 2395 to 2430 pslg prior. to valve opening and from 2330 to 2365 pslg prior to valve. closlng

3.5.. BORG-WARNER ENERGY EQUIPl'-ENT MOTOR OPERATED GATE VAf..VE.

MODEL 79294, DRAW ING. 74380-1

.. 3~5,1 Valve Descriptlon The Borg-Warner electric motor operated gate valve was a 3-ln., 1500-lb class valve which had a Rotork 16-NAXl operator~

It was designed for use as an tsolation valve and for-lnstal ration In a horizontal piping conf lgura+ton~

The test Ing d,l scussed be*r ow was conducted w Ith valve model 79294, serial nunber 12325.

The Rotork operator was a model 16-NAX1.

Th Is valve.w Ith the motor q:>erator was t.ested as a block valve CEMOV>. In a horlzontaL piping configuration.

Figure 3.5-1 Is a p I cture of* the valve I nstal I ed In the test sect I on at the Marshal I fac 11 I ty.

Tab I e.

3.5-1 presents general valve Information.

A diagram of the test valve Is shown In Fl gure 3 *. 5-2.

For use Jn the test progran, the valve body was adapted by weldlng a 3-In. schedule 160 pipe to the inlet and outlet sides of the valve.

Also, 316 stainless steel, 1500-1 b cl ass, 3-in. ral sad face f I anges were welded to. the Inlet and out I.et 'p I pes~

3.5.2 Test Chronology The test valve was del lvered.to* the Marshal I facl I tty on October 4, 1980.

Between October 4,. 1980 and November 3, 1980 the valve was disassembled, and the valve body was adapted for-testing by the addition of flanges at the lnl*et and-outlet of the valve.

On November 4, 1980 the.valve was reassembled In the presence of -the Borg-Warner representative. *.The test valve was i nstal I ed Into the test section and pretest callbratLon and checkout activities were carried out.

The valve was cycled a tot':_.1 _ ____..,

of 18 times during the checkout activities with the test section.at anblent tanperature and pressure.

Fol lowing callbratlon and checkout, the. evaluation test was performed according to the prescribed procedures.

The valve was cycled 21 times during the evaluation test.

After the evaluation test the and v I sua I ly.1 nspected In the valve was ranoved from the test section, disassembled,.

The test rig was pressurized and, after. the valve fully closed agafnst flow**

on the ffrstcycle,.*a 1.eak around the pressure seal was noted *. The bonnet bolts were tightened to stop the leak.

The vaive*was then cycled several times, and for each cycle the ta-que switch setting was IOt'iered to determine the effect on valve operabi I lty.

For the two EMOV cycles conducted at torque switch settt ngs of 1.5 *and 1.6, the valve closed to 3% and 2% of ful I open respectively.* The final.. settf ng was 1.9, which the Roekwel I representative stated produced 95 ft-lb of torque.

For this torque switch settfng, the valve fully closed.

Testing was.stopped to ln~pect a leak that had developed. around the pressure seal gasket between the bonnet alid *.the body.

The valve was disassembled and inspected *. All fnternal components appeared to be fn good cond ltf on.

On October 23, the Rockwel I valve was.reassembled and tested aga In.

The test valve cycled closed successfully against flow; however, another leak around the pressure seal gasket developed.

The leakage was temporarily stopped by. tightening the bonnet bolts.

The Rockwel I valve was disassembled under the supervfslon of the Rockwel I Representative after PORV *test Ing had been comp I eted for the day.

It was agreed that the bonnet retainer ring should be redesigned to el fmlnate.the I eakage.

Two half-fnch holes were drll led and tapped Into the retainer rfngto provide for a

. total of six bolts. f n the retafner ring.Instead of the original four bol.ts.

Al I bOlts were tightened to a torque of 65 ft-lb.

The valve was returned to service.

A packing

. leak In the EtlllV developed when the system was pressurized on October 24 *. The Rockwel I representative was consulted andthe packing was tightened to el lmfnate the leakage.

After the eval uatfon test, the Rockwel 1. valve was left Jn the test section to be used as an lsolatfon valve durfng PORV testfng.

Table 3.1.:.2 summarizes the total cycles for the test valve during the time It was Jnstal led In the Marshal I test section.

3.7.3 Results of +/-he Evaluatlon Test The evaluation test for the Ve~an EMOV, model B10-3054B-13MS, drawing G8H-0300-13MS-f..o, was performed on January 14~ 1981 Jn accordance with the procedures described In Section 2.3.1.

The Copes-Vulcan.. PQRV with 316 SS plug and 17-4PH cage was mounted downstream of the Vet an Ef.'OV for the eval uatJ on test.

The Valve was cycled a tota I of. 21 times during the eval uatlon test with a torque switch setting of 1.5 *. The results are summarized Jn Table 3.7-3, Evaluatlon Test Data.

OPERATION 1. The first operation, a seat leakage test, was conducted with an orifice pressure of 2450 pslg.

A leak rate of 0.0 gpm was measured.

OPERAJION 2. Operation 2, a stroke and 30-second full flow test. consisted of one cycte\\of th~ valve with the flow rate determination being made just prior to valve closure.

For th ls operation the Elv()V was opened, fut I flow was establ I shed through the valve test section by opening the PORV, and then the EMOV was closed against full flow.

The orifice pressure was 2330 pslg.durlng fut I flow, giving an estimated flow rate of 236,000 lb/hr.

The fut ly developed pressures.upstream and downstream of the

  • PORV were 2135 and 620 *psi g, respective I y *. The EK>V closed comp I etel y aga Inst f u I I flow with _the valve stem position lndlcator showing 0.0% of fut I open.

OPERATION 3. The third operation, a leakage tesi", was ronducted with an orifice pressure of 2410 pslg.

A leak rate of 0.0 gpm was measured.

OPERATION 4. There were f Ive cycles of the EMOV during Operation 4, a stroke test to

  • eval 1uate1openlng the EMOV against static pressure and closlng It against fut I f tow.

I The orlffce pressure upstream of the EMOV varied fran 2410 to 2'460 pslg prior toval:ve.....

opening and fran 2315 to 2360 pslg prior to valve closing against fut I flow.

Appendix C

.*FLOW RATE CALCULATIONS.

Flow rates through the test section were calculated using proprietary canputer prograns

  • . developed by Duke Power Company.

These programs were des I gned to ca I cu I ate water and steam flows using nozzles, orlf Jces, or pltot-type devlces.

The ca.lculatlonaL.methods and fonnul*as Implemented In the programs.were those recommended

.by ASME E!y!d Meters, Sixth Edition, 1971.

Input parameters to the program were the orlflce diameter, the plpe lnslde.dtaneter, the measured orlflce pressure In psla,

  • the temp~rature In °F of $a tu rated steam as ca I cu I ated from. the measured or If Jee 0

pressure, the amblent temperature In F, and the measured differential pressure across the orifice In lnchesof water under air. The 1967 ASME steam tables were used to

  • calculate the *fluid properties.

As described Jn.the report "EPRl/Marshal I Power Operated Rel lef Valve Interim Test Data Report", the Duke Power computer programs were used to calculate*three flat rates for each of the two one-minute.flow tests during the evaluation test cycles of the PORVs.

These flow rates were calculated using the orlf Ice pressure CPT5) and ortfl~

  • differential pressure CFT1> as recorded on strip charts at the beginning, middle and end of each PORV flow test. The three calculated flow rates and the three measured orifice pressures were lnput to a least squares curve flt routine which output the two coeff iclents for a straight I Ina flt to the three points. The estimated accuracy In the flow rate calculations Is within+/- 7.5% based on the maximum specif led errors In the data measurement and acquisition system.
