30 3 884 CEBCE VALVE APPLICATIONREVIEW

1. EEBCUITYESUROSARY I

his report presents the resulta of application reviews performed on selected check valves installed Temas Utilities Electric Company Comanche Peak, Unit 1. De review is being eenducted in response to TU Electrie Contract No. 66810067. N application review is  !

eenducted according to the suggestions contained in INPO SOER 86 3 which directs utilities to perform application reviews of check valves installed in the following systems:

  • 1
  • Chemical and Volume Control
  • Safety In}ection
  • Diesel Air Start i

The following systems were also reviewed:

  • Component Cooling Water
  • Condensate
  • Estraction Steam The ohjectives of the review are as follows:
  • Develop a preventive maintenance program to monitor check valve degradation and ensure check valve operability; .

Develop inspection procedure (s) to facilitate the collection of both the qualitative and quantitative data necessary to assess check valve degradation;

  • Recommend design improvements, modifications, and surveillance program -

enhancements where necessary to help ensure reliable check valve operation.

A total of 274 valves are included in the reviewed systems. Valves less than two inches in sine and valves that are used infrequently Geas than 5 percent of the plant operating eyele) were not included in the complete analysis and review process. The remaining population of 145 valves have been subjected to the complete application review.

he m#erity of obeek valve installations nyiewed in this report an suitable for reliable  :

long term plant operation. Of 145 valves reviewed,15 an enndidates for aseelerated hinge l

pin wear and/or dine stud fatigue. An additional 10 valves should be checked to ensun i

i  ;

l proper dise seating. In this group of15 valves,19 (66 percent) an swing check valvn manufactured by Berg Warner.

t In addition,5 of la feedwater system check valves should be ebuked during the first i refueling outage for materialloss due to erosion %rrosion, hoe have been listed in the i high priority inspection group. .

4 l

In our opinion, the frequency and wide ranging natum of the problems encountered with Borg Warner check valves, and the fact that problems continue to surface, represents s l

situation which may continue to compromise maintainability of these valves and the j systems in which they an used. Even though TU Electric has taken prompt action to I addrus each problem as it occurred, we recommend a thorough, systematic design review ,

be conducted to address the following items:

l

  • Redesign of disc stud to eliminate fatiguh concerns
  • Undentand all dimensional and tolerance aspects of the bonnet /dise/ hinge arm assembly as they affect valve closure.
  • Review any and all design changes from a global or systems standpoint to l ensun compat.ibility with each other and to the valve as a whole.

i Based on the analysis and review of all the check valves, specific recommendatier.s for the inspection / maintenance intervals for each valve have been developed. These recommendations should be integrated into the overall preventive maintenance program inclnding the in service testing requirements for check valves to satisfy ASME Section XI IWV.

I i

! The results of the review for each check valve are properly doewunented in the nport with specific recommendations. Actual inspection results and more specific weight and dimensional data can be used in the future to form a sound basis for afining these recommended inspection intervals.

SOER 864 identined the mWer eeuws of chuk valve failun as misapplication and I M'& preventauve maintenanee. As a resuk of the Andings reported in 80ER 864, ,

{ INPO suspeted Utilities follow a couru of action including the following steps: '

1. Establish preventative maintenance precedures which will help identify incipient ehmk valve failuru. >
2. Perform a design nyiew of the ehnk valve installations in the identined systems to l j determine the suitability of each valve application.

l Subsequent to the issuanee of SOER 864, the Appliestion Guidelines for Chec4 Voices in .

Neeleer ENeer ElSats, EPRI NP 6479, was published to help utility engineers perform the applicabn review and implement the INPO recommendations. Erperience has shown

{

that appliestion of the EPRI guidelines often results in the determination that a check valve is misapplied, usually because the minimum velocity requirement has not been satisfied.

If all such misapplied valves were added to routine (refueling outage based) maintenance operations, a significant and unnecessary increase in maintenance workload would result. Kalsi Engineering has developed a systematic review methodology which by quantifying wear and fatigue damage for each valve, yields a more nasonable yet still conurvative set of recommendations for the valve.

The review process is based on the guidelines presented in EPRI Report NP 5479. All important performance, design, and installttion variables e.g., the type of check valve, its minimum flow velocity requirements to fully open the disc, the effect of upstream disturbances, the orientation of the valve, and the flow conditions and their duration an taken inte account during this review. In order to facilitate a thorough, consistent, and quantitative review, the Check Valve Application and Prioritisation program (CVAP')

developed by Kalsi Engineering is uud. This program incorporates the technical guidelinn provided in EPRI NP 5479 as well as the mon recently developed information eentained in NRC NUREGCR 5159, Prediction of Check Valve Performance and Degradation la Nuclear Power Plant Systems, and Rockwell Internationars Check Valve Applicatloa Manual and Uses's Guide, V 308. (See Appendix B for a description of CVAP.)

  • CVAP is a proprietary program developed by Kalsi Enginwring, Inc. It is fully docu.

mented and has been verified according to Kalsi Engineering Quality Assurance

Manual, Document No.15000, Rev. 2.

  • I i

CVAP utilians information about the important phyeleal variab%s of the cheek valve and upstream piping esangurations to compute h minimum pleesty required to fully open the vain. In additisa,inf6rasation about h actual operational flow rates are used to estimate whether the vain is fully open and stable or if dise impact and eseillation are causing antigue and wear degradation of vain internals. Neo enleulations an used along with l the review data to denlop opecine recommendations for each valw.

Wear and fatigue calculations performed by CVAP an summarised in the form of an 1

indes for each estagery, h wear indes is band upon wear of the hinge pin of a swing or l

tilt dise vain. Hinge pin life is considered completely used when half et the pin diameter has been worn away. This is a conurvatin limit providing for enough remaining .

I matedal to still allow h valw to perform its intended function. Fatigue of the disc stud is often an area of concern in swing check valves. When dine tapping securs, the stud can be suhjected to bending strus, ultimately resulting in fatigue failum of the disc stud when stresses an high enough. An estimate of the stress developed in the disc stud is made by CVAP, and this is used to calculate the fatigue life'of the dise stud. N degree to which the wear or fatigue life is consumed is categorized by assigning an index to both calculations according to Table 1:

HINGE PIN WEAR / DISC PIN FATIGUE INDEX KEY Wear / Fatigue Wear / Fatigue No. of Plant Usage Index Cycles to Limit 0% to 7% 1 = Very low 14.0 7% to 14 % 2 = I4w 7.0 14 % to 20% 3 = Moderate 3.5 20% to 50% 4= High 2.0

>56% 5 = Very high < 2.0 Note: loot hinge pin wear corresponds to 50% of pin diameter.

Plant cycle defined as 16 months of plant operation including normal and refueling operations. l TABLE 1 BCALSI E NGINEEftt NG, INC.

By combining the output fmm CVAP with esioeng maintenanos data, a prierstised list of  !

vain inspection resemmendations is developed. Depending upon the nature of the I degradation presses, type of vain and material et construe 6en, vain loesuon, and ALARA seneerns, any number of inspection options aan be utilised. For example, wear and fatigue calculations can be quantified in some cases by using an ultrasonic disc.

neuen measurement technique such as the MOVAT8 Ch=hMate* system or by using radiographic inspostion of the operaung valn. Quantitatin measurements of disc motion can be compared with the CVAP predictions and a4ustments made secordingly. Verifi-cation of disc tapping een be detected in some casu with eeoustic emission technology.

  • Material loss due to erosion / corrosion effects can be monitored with ultrasonic wall-thickness measurement equipment. Finally, physically opening and inspecting valve internals may be necessary.

These inspection recommendations should be integrated into the existing preventive maintenance program and, as results are gathered, inspection intervals can be fine.

1. De majority of obeek valve installations twiewed in this report are suitable for i reliable long-terus plant operation. Of 145 valves reviewed in this report,15 valves  :

are eendidates for aeselerated hinge pin wear er dise stud fatigue.

2. Eighteen valves in the feedwater system have been identined as pmaible candidates  !

for erosion /eorrosion damage. Initially them valns should be monitored on an l annual basis to check for material loss. Subuquent inspection intervals can be ,

determined based on the results of prwlous maintenance inspections. *'

3. In reviewing maintenance histories, operations data, and results of the individual j valve analyses, it is apparent that check valns manufactured by Borg Warner i j - han been involved in a disparately high proportion of plant problems. Some of the l specine problems encountered include:
  • Inadequate tack welds betwun dise and stud on certain valves. Rework instituted based on Borg Wamer recommendations.
  • Inadequate or nonexistent pickling and passivation of valve internals on certain valves. Rework instituted based on Borg. Warner recommendations.
  • Iriadequate vendor maintenance instructions result in improper vtive reassembly, causing incomplete valve closure and reverse flow in auxiliary feedwater system. NRC IN 89 62 issued. Valve rework instituted based on Borg-Warner recommendations.
  • Estremely critical nature of bonnet installation to ensure proper valve function and closure identi6ed in Kalsi Enginwring Report 1592.

l

  • Futures designed and maintenance procedures updated aner inadvertent bonnet misalignment results in valves that do not elow.
  • Previously completed tack weld rework found to affect vain closure in some cases. Further tack weld rework initiated based on Borg Warner recommenda-tions.

  • Aasi;iary feedwater pump miniflew valve disc stad found to be severely boot from impact with bonnet. Design modi 6 cation based on recommendations in this Cheek Valve Appliention Review implemented by TU Electric personnel in l esseurrenes with Borg Warner. '

\

In addition to these problems, the Application Review has helped identify design ,'

features of the Borg Warner valns which, in our opinion, are not consistent with prudent and conservatin design practice and which, under certain conditions, will result in drastically reduced valve life. hose features are:

  • Small diameter, threaded disc stud design  !

l

  • Unusual internal pometry which, in certain valve models, allows for oblique contact of the disc stud and bonnet at the full open position.

L

l. Flow conditions which result in the dig tapping against the bonnet, i.e., flow velocity not quite sufficient to fully open the valve, will subject the disc stud in these valns to high bending stresses which will accelerate the fatigue process, reducing valve life to unacceptable levels. ~

While these problems have each been dealt with by plant personnel as they have arisen,it is our opinion that, taken as a whole, these incidents represent a more serious situation than would be indicated by any single problem. Although the action taken to date has thoroughly addressed the individual problems with these valves,it is our concern that, given the broad nature and frequency of occurrence of problems, a careful review of Borg Warner check valves should be performed by TU Electric. De goal of this review should be to ensure design adequacy by addrusing the following issues:

  • Redesign of disc stud to eliminate fatigue concerns i
  • Understand all dimensional and tolerance aspects of the bonnet /dise/ hinge arm assembly as they afect valn closure.
  • Review any and all design chanps from a global or systems standpoint to ensure compatibility with each other and to the valve as a whole.

The nature of the service conditions for this system are very diNerent than the other systems analysed in this Application Review. Accordingly, the problems associated with check valves an also different. First, system use is limited almost exclusively to monthly surveillance testing, requiring short bursts of air delivered from the  :

accumulators and compressors. his results in slamming or hammering of the check  !

valve internals on the discharge side of the accumulators. The compressor discharge valves will also be subject to repetitive tapping or hammering due to the pulsating i natun of the compressor output. The compressor discharge valves are also und for

, longer periods because of the time needed te re charge the accumulators. Second, cornsion from condenud water vapor also enstes problems with seat leakage and l

further weakens the valve making it even less able to withstand the repetitive slamming use. Review of NPRDS data for these systems shows recurring valve maintenance has been needed for corrosion and mechanical damage of valve l internals.

Service conditions for check valves in the Dieul Generater Air Start system are  !

dominated by slamming or hammering of the valve internals during comparatively short periods of operation. The analysis methods und for the other systems in this Application Review sta based on wear and fatigue calculations for nlatively long term usage resulting from continuous flow operation. Because of this basic difference in valve usage, this analysis method is not appropriate for the check valves in this '

system. No natisfactory analysis methods suitable for une as a predictive tool are available at this time.

Remmuneadations:

In addition to IST program requirements, it is recommend that one check valve be I selected for inspection during the next refueling outage as a sample of the group.

Particular attention should be paid to all valve internals for signs of wear, corrosion.

They are located 18 inches downstream from one inch diameter flow limiting orifices that have bnn tnated as high turbulence sources in this analysis. The valves are close

to clearway style swing checks, so higher flow velocities will be needed to fully open the disc. The internal valve design incorporates a small diameter stud threaded into and welded to the disc. At full opening, the dise stud contacts the bonnet at an angle that will l

develop high bending stress. Overall, this design will be more prone to fatigue problems should the flow velocity put the valve in the tapping range. Pressure seal bonnet valves have bun a regular source of sealing problems in the industry, particularly Borg Warner valves. No physical alignment method is provided to rotationally key the bonnet to the vaive body. Assembly of the valve requires extreme care by maintenance personnel to ensure proper bonnet to body orientation. Failure to exercise this care will result in the dise not seating and back leakage.

Recent experience at Comanche Peak also indicates that problems exist with proper vertical positioning of the bonnet / hinge arm / disc assembly in the valve body. This -

  • problem is manifested as extremely uneven overlap of the disc and seat which allows the top of the disc to catch inside the seat, mechanically binding the disc at a location far from the seat. Radiographs of the valves and measurements made of one disassembled valve all confirm this problem. Existing maintenance procedures supplied by Borg Warner do not adequately address these issues.

Based on the data supplied by Jay Ryan of CECO, the flow through these valves will be 241 gym. Typical usage is estimated to be less than 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per year.

5. AFW Pump Miniflow Lines Tag Nos. AF 0045, AF 0057, AF 0069 These are three inch Borg Warner swing check valves with pressure seal bonnets.

They are located 9 to 18 inches downstream from flow limiting breakdown orifices that have been tmated as high turbulence sources in this analysis. These valves are close to clearway style swing cheeks, so higher flow velocities will be needed to fully open the disc. Based on the data provided by Jay Ryan of CECO, the flow through these valves will be 94 to 95 gpm. Typical usage is estimated to be less than 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per year,

-Additional operating time has been applied to account for usage during hot functional tests. Under these operating conditions, the disc is predicted to be oscillating at high levels and tapping against the stop. Even with low usage, the calculated fatigue index is 5 (very high) due to high stresses developed when the disc is tapping. The wear index is 1 (very low) due to the combination of high wear meistance materials used in the hinge pin area, low usap, and low contact loads in this small valve.

l' The valve design has a large diameter stud threaded into the dise which is then mduced in diameter above the hiny arm. While mis has the benefit of reducing stress at the stud to disc junction, it serves to shift the high stress area to the step in the stud.

Additionally,when the stud contacts the sup during tapping, the angle between the disc stud and the bonnet extension creates a larp moment arm which will create unnecessarily high bending strus in the stud. Therefore, the step becomes the area prone to fatigue failure and will govern the fatigue life of the valve. These design features make the valve more susceptible to fatigue problems whenever the flow velocity puts the valve in the tapping range. One way in which this problem can be minimized would be to increase the entire stud to to 5/8" diameter, thus eliminating the step. Fatigue life can be gnatly enhanced as shewn in Table 5.

'!he fatigue life calculated by CVAP is based upon the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section 3 fatigue fsuuza curve. This means that , based upon the conditions i

analysed, the parts would be expected to survive for the periods of time presented in Table I as a minimum. Because so many physical variables can have an impact on fatigue life calculations, the failure curve is obn a very conservative means of estimating the life of a component. Certain test cases have exceeded the life predicted on this basis by a factor of 20 to 1 as documented in the ASME Code. Nevertheless, because of the uncertainties involved in quantifying stresses, part geometry, material strength, corrosion effects, etc., this approach must be taken to ensure conservatism.  ;

Additional life increases could be achieved by altering the design of the bonnet stop extension so as to reduce the contact angle between the stud and stop thus reducing the bending stresses whenever contact occurs.(see Figure 1). A more effective volution would be to eliminate the tapping altogether by increasing the length of the stop. This would force the disc further into the flow stream at the fully open position holding it firmly against the stop.

3. Miscellaneous (less than 2")

Tag Nos.1RH.8705A,B 3/4" Rockwell lift check 2 The valves in Group 3 were not analyzed because they are less than two inches in size and are not nuclear safety related. Failure of these valves to perform their intended function will not jeopardise plant safety or operability.

Recommendations for each category are:

1. RERPumpDischarge Tag Numbers.18730A,18730B Wear Index: 1 Fatigue Index: 1 Comments: Flow velocity through these valves is 5 fps at 1000 gym and 19 fbs at 3800 rpm. Calculated Vmin is 7.1 fps. The valve will be fully open at 3800 gpm (normal flow rate) and tapping at 1000 gym. This valve uses an unusually small dise anti rotation pin which may deteriorate prematurely due to disc flutter. Cumulative hinge pin wear will be-

.,, very low since valve usage is relatively low during a plant cycle.

conditions.

The analysis methods used in this application review are based on wear and fatigue calculations for relatively long. term usage resulting from continuous flow operation.  ;

Therefore, this analysis method is not appropriate for the low use check valves in this .

l system. Existing maintenance and test procedures should be followed for thue valves.

The valves in Group 11 were not analysed because they are less than two inches in size and are not nuclear safety related. Failure of these valves to perform their intended function will not jeopardise plant safety or operability.
