CAROLINA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITY OF ASME CLASS 1 AUXILIARY PIPING SYSTEMS 1.0 ABSTRACT Functional capability of piping components is defined as the capability to deliver rated flow and retain dimensional stability when the design and'ervice loads, and their resulting stresses and strains, are at prescribed levels.This report presents the methodology, evaluation and acceptance criteria used in demonstrating the functional capability of Class 1 auxiliary piping systems.The scope of this report is limited to the evaluation of essential Class 1 auxiliar i in for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.Generically, the issue of functional capability for piping was.not identified as an NRC concern until July 1981, when the NRC issued NUREG-0800 which included SRP 3.9.3 and its Appendix A, the (4)acceptance criteria adopted by the NRC for functional piping.Almost simultaneously,-the NRC approved NEDO-21985 as an acceptable (3)basis of demonstrating functional capability.

Prior to the NRC's adoption of these criteria, passive components in essential systems were considered operable if they met the pressure integrity considerations of the ASME code pursuant to Regulatory Guide 1.48.NEDO"21985 presents criteria for evaluation of functional (8)capability to be used in conjunction with elastic analysis of piping systems.It specifically recognizes that more sophisticated techniques such as elastic plastic analysis may be employed to reduce the conservatism resulting from NEDO-21985 criteria.The criteria presented herein make use of equations and definitions given in the ASME Code and are principally based upon inelastic analysis techniques.

A deformation ,limit in terms of an ultimate moment for different pipe sizes is established.

This limit was selected such that small reductions in the cross-sectional area are assured.The reduction in cross-sectional area is given in terms of ovalization which indicates the formation of an eliptical shape.Definitions and Nomenclature of underlined terms and phrases are presented in Section 4.0

2.0 INTRODUCTION

Piping systems and components essential to plant safety should be capable of delivering rated flow and retain dimensional stability when the design and service loads, and their resulting stresses and strains, are at prescribed levels.The ability to do this is termed functional ca abilit.A piping system might lose its functional capability through the occurrence of a significantly reduced flow area.The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III provides rules for piping design and analysis for Class l piping systems in Sub section NB.While Code rules provide levels of allowable stress limits to assure pressure retention capability, they may not assure the functional capability of certain system components under all designated loadinf()conditions.

I<In the past, the question of functional capability was addressed by I selecting conservative stress limits usually presented by multiples of the yield strength of materials.

In addition, elastic analysis W+4gs techniques are generally employed.The techniques employed in this report adopt inelastic methods of piping analyses and establish deformation limits such that small reductions in pipe cross-sectional area are assured.Finite element analyses of three dimensionally modeled elbows (shell elements), with elasto-plastic strain hardening material properties and with large deformation considerations are conducted.

The functional capability of essential piping is evaluated by computing the ovalization and resulting percentage change in flow area for different values of moments applied up to failure.

CAROLINA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITY OF ASME CLASS 1 AUXILIARY PIPING SYSTEMS 3.0 SCOPE The scope covered by'he methodology>

and evaluation criteria presented in this report is limited to Reactor Coolant Sytems (RCS), essential Class 1 auxiliary piping components.

The analytical approach is to perform an analysis for elbows and extend the results to other piping components by appropriate techniques.

U The piping of the RCS is required to maintain its functionability as well as structural integrity under all loading conditions including the Level D loadings.In essence, the piping is required to retain dimensional stability such that it will deliver its rated flow.Under Level D loading, the piping may undergo permanent plastic deformation as depicted from the ASME Code allowables being 3S or 0.7S and, m u therefore, plastic analyses are required to ascertain the piping deformation under the Level D loadings Table I presents a summary of the RCS Class 1 auxiliary piping to be evaluated for functional capability.

A total of five (5)Class 1 auxiliary pipe sizes ranging from l-l/2" to 14" in diameter were considered.

5.1 Loading

and Modeling Approach 5.1.1 Introductionc The application of shear and normal forces and out of plane and torsional moments on elbows do not result in any appreciable ovalization.

Therefore, for a certain level of stresses in the elbow the highest ovalization is attained when the stresses are attributable to in plane bending.Henceforth, in this study pure bending is applied on the ends of the elbow, and in order to assure the condition of pure bending the ends of the piping on each side of the elbow are unconstrained.

5.1.2 Loading

A pure bending moment is applied on each of the unrestrained ends of the elbow.The direction of moment is such that it produces tensile stresses on the concave side of the elbow, see Fig.(1).The.elbow is loaded via enforced rotation of its ends which is monotonically increased until failure takes place at the elbow.5.1.3 Model: A model of a 90 elbow of radius 1.5D with two straight pipe 0 segments of length 4 D on each end is considered in this study.The reason for using the straight segment of the pipe is twofold.First is to provide a suCLJ.cient zone for the plastic hinge to develop about the center (45 plane)of the elbow, and second is 0 to set the location of the loading point with its inherent assumptions (small linear displacement and elastic stress distribution) remote from the center of the plastic hinge.See Fig.(1).

6.0 DESCRIPTION

OF THE FINITE ELEMENT MODEL Twelve (12)equal shell elements are used to describe the 180 segment 0 of the pipe cross section in the circumferential direction.

Along the length of the straight segment of the piping, 5 subdivisions are used, the first three from the free end are of length=D, the fourth and fifth are of length 2D/3 and D/3 respectively.

Along the elbow 9 closely 0 spaced subdivisions are used (5 each).Therefore, a total of 192 (12 x 14)shell elements, connecting a total of 195 grid points (15 x 13)are used to describe the 1/4 model,[figures lb and lc].A rigid body element is used to connect the grid points on the free end of the elbow such that when the moment is applied at the center of the cross section, a linear elestic stress distribution develops at the free pipe cross section.6.1 Material Properties:

A stress-strain curve of elasto-plastic strain hardening properties is used to describe the shell elements material properties,[Figure 2].The curve is digitized from the strain power law (S=S g)in the n 0 plastic region, whereas in the el'astic region the modulus of elasticity as per ASME Code is used.Stainless steel material A-376-304 and A-376-316 are used in this analysis, for which the following parameters are given:~Su si u~E(si)F u~Su(si)~Sm(si)Syy(si)A"376-304 785023 0.1865 25.5 x 10 A-376-316 89,014 0.2056 25.5 x 106 0.205 0.2283 58,058 16,200 20,'400 65,700 16,700 20,500 "11-CAROLINA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITY OF ASME CLASS 1 AUXILIARY PIPING SYSTEMS

6.0 DESCRIPTION

OF THE FINITE EL'EMENT MODEL (Cont'd)6.2 Yield Criterion:

The von-Misses yield criterion is used to represent the plane of stresses within each element, the equivalent stress of which is given by:$m equ 1/2[(S-S)+(S"S)+(S"S)]where S , S , S are the three principal stresses.Failure of the material is postulated when the equivalent stress as computed by von-Misses stress criteria exceeds the ultimate stress as defined in the stress"strain curve used.6.3 Large Deformationc A large deformation feature is.utilized in order to account for the effect of the ovalization of the pipe cross section on the moment carrying capacity of the elbow.The cross sectional ovalization reduces the pipe section modulus, i.e.reduces the value of Moment/max stress.The moment may still be increasing due to the plastic flow which allows greater portions of the cross section to be subjected to higher stresses.

However, for the specific pipe sizes considered, the highest ovalization pertaining to, M(3S)/B2 equals m 0.79%and the maximum area change for the same moment equals 0.09%, which are negligible.

Note that prior to failure of the pipes, ovalization up to 45%and decrease in area as high as 35%are recorded (Figs 3 to 9)but such moments are never approached if the requirements of ASME Codes are met.Typical percentage ovalization versus the bending moment in the elbow is shown in Fig ll.As can be seen, ovalization is negligible for moments as close as 80%of M , after which it increases exponentially.

Therefore, use of Level D stress limits is meaningful for these pipe sizes.

8.1.1 Introduction

Presented here is a simplified engineering explanation aim'ed at proving that the functional capability of the tees and branch connections is well assured when the structural integrity Code requirements are satisfied.

The explanation provided is an analogy between branch connections and elbows so that the conclusions obtained from the plastic analysis of elbows can be utilized.It consequently follows that the discussion on functional capability is applicable only to tees and branch connections of the pipe sizes and thickness to radius ratios covered in the elbow analysis.8.1.2 Tees versus Elbows For an elbow, the decrease in cross sectional area under an applied bending moment is attributed to the ovalization of the circular section under the influence of the radially inward resultants of the tensile and compressive membrane forces in the concave and convex sides of the elbow.This fact is schematically shown in Fig.12.For a tee connection, while the decrease in cross sectional area is attributed to the same phenomenon, it is much more difficult to visualize and assess.This is due to three reasons:

'-17-CAROLINA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITY OF ASME CLASS 1 AUXILIARY PIPING SYSTEMS 8.0 PIPING COMPONENTS OTHER THAN ELBOWS: (Cont'd)8.1 (Cont'd)8.1.2 Tees versus Elbows (Cont'd)First, the tee has three legs and as such, it could be sub)ected to three bending moments, the interaction of which is not immediately obvious.Second, unlike the elbow where stability can be achieved only if the bending moments at each leg are equal, for the tee there are infinite combinations of balanced bending moments acting on the three legs.Third, the distribution of stress and internal forces is more complicated in tees than in elbows.The above three items must be addressed for any sound comparison of functional capability between tee's and elbows.8.1.3 Bending Moments on Tee Legs (the limiting case),.AVj'Apt'kW'c ('l It will be shown here that as far as functional capability is concerned, all possible bending moment combinations on the three legs of the tees are bounded by a limiting case.This is the case where the tee is loaded by two equal bending moments on two perpendicular legs, (much as an elbow is loaded).To show that this is the limiting case, reference is made to Figure 13a which shows a tee loaded by a bending moment at each leg.The behavior of this tee can be thought of as resulting from the super-position of two loading conditions; one attempting to close the flow area, and other counteracting the first, attempting to open the flow area.This is schematically shown in figure 13b.It is evident that the absence of the counteracting moment would result in the greatest area reduction.

It is these latter sections that deliver the rated flow.Figure 14 shows how section DB may be ovalized while the perpendicular section (AB, BC 6 DC)shift more or less rigidly.It can thus be concluded that the flow sections of tees and branch connections will ovalize less than elbows of the same properties.

Since it was documented by elasto-plastic analysis that elbows undergo negligible area reduction under bending moments meeting Code requirements for structural integrity, the same holds true for tees and branch connections.

9.0 CONCLUSION

S It has been demonstrated by finite element elastic-plastic analysis on elbows that meaningful functional capability limits can be derived based on the ultimate moment as defined by Gerber modified by the B stress index for the piping component.

Small deformations are assured if stresses less than 70%of the modified limit are maintained in the piping system.This criterion should be valid for any pipe size.For the specific cases of relatively thick piping found'n the Class 1 portions of pressurized water reactors and for Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant in particular, it is demonstrated that the small deformation limit defined above is bounded by a stress of 3.0S calculated by an m elastic analysis.Therefore, for these specific cases, the ASME III Level D limits do in fact represent acceptable functional capability limits.
