ENS 44445 | 28 August 2008 05:00:00 | 10 CFR 21.21, Notification of failure to comply or existence of a defect and its evaluation | Replacement Diaphragm Failures Due Inadequate Cure and Operation Over Maximum Pressure | Fisher was recently notified by Luminant, Comanche Peak SES of two replacement diaphragm failures. These diaphragms had been in service for approximately 3.1 years. The diaphragms lost frictional flange retention in a progressive type failure which transferred retention stress to the bolt/diaphragm interfaces and caused localized stresses great enough to initiate rupture. Rupture propagation occurred catastrophically in multiple directions and rapid loss of actuator pressure resulted and consequently, opening of the valve. This is applicable to all Fisher size 80, type 657 and 657NS sliding stem valve actuators sold to the nuclear industry by Fisher Controls International LLC that are equipped with nitrile/nylon diaphragms (Fisher part number 1R6375X0072). It is unknown what plants in addition to Comanche Peak are affected by this report. | ||
ENS 44322 | 27 June 2008 05:00:00 | 10 CFR 21.21, Notification of failure to comply or existence of a defect and its evaluation | Part 21 Notification - Performance Affected on 3" Cl150 Fisher V150 Valve Assemblies | Purpose: The purpose of this Fisher Information Notice (FIN) is to alert FPL that as of 20 June, 2008, Fisher Controls International LLC became aware of the possibility of a situation which may affect the performance of the applicable equipment. Equipment Affected by This Information Notice: Items provided to FPL - Turkey Point per Fisher Order Number 010-A001017058,Item 0001, (FPL Order 00108848, Rev. 3). This equipment included 3" CL150 Fisher V150 valve assemblies (quantity 2). The equipment is identified by Fisher Serial Numbers 18497294 and 18497295 (FPL Tag Number 04224971). Applicability: This notice applies only to the subject equipment supplied by Fisher Controls International LLC, identified above, that was provided to FPL-Turkey Point. Fisher Controls has determined that the subject items did not meet the material requirements specified by the FPL Order 00108848, Rev. 3. Specifically the discrepancies are:
The difference in these parts will also require that a different seal protector ring be provided. | ||
ENS 43472 | 27 June 2007 05:00:00 | 10 CFR 21.21, Notification of failure to comply or existence of a defect and its evaluation | Part 21 Notification - Fisher Type 67C Series Regulator Screw Fracture | The manufacturer provided the following information via facsimile: This is a summary of a communication that was sent to inform all Fisher customers of record. Fisher Controls has determined that a faulty batch of screws (Fisher Part Number T13526T0012) was used in the applicable constructions listed below. In some cases, a fracture occurred in the threaded shank, while in other cases the screw head fractured. Multiple screw fractures were also found on the same regulator. The screw fractures were found in four different product orders. The function of the screw depends on the type of construction:
If the screw is compromised, the ability of the regulator to retain pressure or function correctly may be impaired. Any abnormal function of an instrument supply regulator might, in turn, cause unexpected behavior of the instrument itself due to supply pressure changes. These changes could result in a range of performance problems, up to a loss of process control. Fisher has stopped shipment of these products and is currently purging their inventory. This notice applies only to the subject equipment supplied by Fisher Controls International LLC that meets all of the following criteria:
