SUMMARY
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in their report NUREG 0578, 11 TMI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short Term Recommendations 11 , dated July, 1979, recommended in Section 2.1.2 that Utilities operating and constructing nuclear power pl ants develop a program for performance te~;ts of power operated relief valves and self-ac.tivated safety valves which are used in the reactor primary coolant system. The requirement of NUREG 0578 was later incorporaL;d into the "NRC Task Action Plan", NUREG 0660 and it was further clarified in NUREG 0737, Item II.D.l.A. At the request of Utilities with PWRs, EPRI developed and implemented a Test Program for pov1er operated relief valves and safety valves. The *primary objective of the EPRI PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Program was to rrovide full scale test data confirming the functionability of primary system power cperated relief valves and safety valves for expected operating and accident con-ditions. The second objective of the program was to obtain sufficient piping thermal hydraulic load data to permit confirmation of models which may be utilized in plant unique analysis of safety and relief valve discharge piping systems. TJ obtain valve operability data for the wide variety of safety and relief valves used. or intended for use in PWR. plants, it was necessary to select a limited but fully representative set of valves for test purposes. The criteria used for valve selections are presented below:
- test each basic valve type (spring-loaded safety valves, pilot operated safety valves, air operated relief valves, pilot operated relief valves)
- test each different manufacturer's version of a type
- test design variations in internal guiding parts which might affect valve performance .
- S-1
- The fina*1 valve evaluations resulted in the selection of ten power operated relief
- valves and seven safety v.1lves to be tested. Justification that the test valve results were applicable to all PWR plant safety and relief valves was developed by the manufacturers of the valves being tested.
The tests performed covered a wide range of prototypical fluid conditions which may occur in PWR plants. ThE* tests included steam, water, steam-to-water transition and water seal fluid conditiJns at pressures of up to 2750 psia and flow rates of up to 670,000 lb/hr steam. Th2 fluid inlet conditions were based on conside~ation of PWR plant FSAR, cold overpressurization, and extended high pressure liquid injection events.* All relief valve tests ~ere performed at the Marshall Steam Station test facility, Terrell, North Carolina (owned and operated by Duke Power Company) and the test facility located at Wyle Laboratories, Norco, California. All safety valve tests were performed at the test facility located at Combustion Engineering, Windsor, Connecticut. Valve performance testing was completed in December, 1981. Documentation of the program is contained in four major program outputs.

This report entitled 11 Safety and Relief Valve Test Report 11 together with the other three major program outputs, documents the required information for the participating PWR utilities to use in responding to the above mentioned USNRC recommendations. These. program outputs will provide the PWR Utilities with sufficient documentation and test' data to permit each PWR Licensee to develop plant specific submittals that demonstrate
*the functionability of all PWR plant safety and relief valves and to comply with NUREG 0737, Item II.0.1.A .

- Section 1 INTRODUCTION At the request of Utilities with pressurized water reactors (PWR's), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) implemented a PWR Valve Test program responsive to the safety and relief valve test recommendations contained in NUREG 0578, Section 2.1.2 and as clarified in NUREli 0737, Item Il.D.l.A. The objective of the EPRI PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Program was to perform full scale operability tests on a set of primary system relief and safety valves representative of those utilized in or planned for use in PWRs and gather discharge piping data to permit the bench marking of dis-charge piping analysis mE:thods. The test conditions were selected to be representa-tive of those expected in participating PWRs based on consideration of limiting FSAR, cold overpressurization, and extended high pressure liquid injection events.
This report presents the safety and relief valve test results generated as part of the Generic EPRI PWR Valve Test Program. The intent of the report is to provide the required valve performance information and data to permit PWR.licensees and applicants to demonstrate the functionability of power operated relief valves and safety valves utilized in the primary system of PWRs. The information presented includes key* information typically used to assess valve functionability such as valve opening and closing data, transient depressurization data and valve inspection results. In addition, other supplemental information related to valve performance for these tests has been included. All valve performance tests were completed in December 1981. This report is organized into five sections. Section 1 is the report introduction. Section 2 lists the relief and safety valves utilized in or planned for use in domestic participating PWRs and identifies the valves that were selected for testing. The basis for test valve selection and justification is documented in Reference 1 of this report. Sections 3 and 4 present the "as tested" test matrices, valve performance data and principal observations for the relief and safety valves tested as part of the program, respectively. The basis and justification of the valve test conditions are documented in Reference 1, 2, 3,4 and 5 of this report. Section 5 contains the list of references of this reJort. In addition to these five sections, an Appendix A entitled "Definition of K*?y Terms and Parameters" has been included .

- 2.0 Section 2 PWR PRESSURlZER SAFETY AND RELIEF VALVES As part of the EPRI PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Program, full-scale testing of pressurizer safety and relief valves representative of those in use or planned for use in PWR plants was performed. In order to select a set of valves for testing, a com-plete list of valve types, models, and sizes used or intended for use in domestic participating PWR plants was compiled based on information provided by the PWR Utilities, l~SSS vendors, and valve manufacturers. From these lists, valves were selected for testing which represent the participating PWR plant valve population.
Justifiction of the selection was developed based on evaluations performed by the valve manufacturers. These evaluations considered the effects of differences in valve operational characteristics, materials, design details, and sizes. The purpose of this section is to:
- present lists of safety and relief valves used or intended for use in domestic participating PWR plants and the PWR Utilities and plants which utilize these valves,
- present lists of the safety and relief valves selected for testing, the valves represented by the test valves and a summary of the valve distribution in PWR plants,
- present a description of the valves selected for testing .
2.1 LIST OF VALVES IN PLANTS The valve manufacturer and valve model numbers of safety and relief valves used in PWR plants are ~;umrnarized in Tables 2-1 and 2-2. These tables provide the following information:
- Table 2-1 provides a list of safety valves (identified by manufac-tiJrer and model number) and the PWR Utilities and plants which utilize these valves;
- 2-1
*
- Table 2-2 provides a list of relief valves (identified by man1ifrir.-
f.1Jt"1*r anti 11111111* I nu111lir!t*) arid 1111* l'Wli UI. i Ii I. it*s c111d p I ant.~) wh icl1 uL i I i11! these valves. Table 2-2 has been updated since the Valve Selection/Justification Report (Reference 1), and it's list of relief valves was issued. The lists are identical except that the Commonwealth Edison Company, Zion 1 & 2 Plant Copes-Vulcan relief valve plug material has been changed from 17-4PH to 316 w/Stellite material. The technical justification of Reference 1 is not effected by this change. 2.2 SELECTED TEST VALVES AND VALVES REPRESENTED As can be seen from Tables 2-1 and 2-2, a large number of safety and relief valve models are used in PWR plants. As a result, it was necessary to perform engineering evaluations in order to select a number of valve types, models and sizes for test purposes that provide generic results that are applicable to all of the plants involved. These evaluations were performed by the valve manufacturers and they considered the effects of the differences in valve operation characteristics, ma-terials, design details, and sizes on valve operabil~ty. The criteria for valve
- selection that were used in conjunction with the above evaluations are presented below:
- Include each basic valve type (e.g., spring-loaded safety valve, air-operated relief valve, etc.);
- Include each different manufacturer's version of a given valve type (e.g., Dresser and Crosby spring-loaded safety valves);
- Include each design variation in internal guiding parts which could impact valve performance (e.g., Copes-Vulcan 17-4PH cage/plug versus 316 w/stellite plug with a 17-4PH cage).
Utilizing the results of the above evaluations and valve selection criteria, a set of safety and relief valves were originally selected for testing. The types, models and PWR plant distribution of the valves selected for testing are presented in Tables 2-3 and 2-4. 2-2
..
- Table 2-3 provides a list of the selected test safety valves, the
*valves represented and the valve distribution in PWR plants;
- Table 2-4 provides a list of the selected test relief valves, the valves represented and the valve distribution in PWR plants.
Table 2-4 has been updated since the Valve Selection/Justification Report and it's list of selected test relief valves was issued. The lists are identical except that the "Valves Represented, No. of Plants" column has been revised to include the previously noted change of Table 2-2.
- n summary, nine safety valves and ten relief valves were originally selected for tests .. Based on valve vendor evaluations, the test results of the valves selected for testing (Tables 2-3 and 2-4) can be extended to the entire population of PWR valves represented by the selected test valves .

?.3 DESl.RIPTION OF TESl VALVES The following is a brief description of the specific safety and relief valves which were tested.
- 2.3.l Safety Valves 2.3.1.a Crosby Valve and Gage Company. All PWR plants which have Crosby safety valves utilize the same basic valve design. Model No. HB-BP-86. The Crosby model is a direct acting spring lo~ded safety valve design. However, a variety of inlet, outlet and orifice sizes are utilized as listed in Table 2-3. Valves with the smallest and largest orifice sizes were selected for test, as well as a valve with an intermediate orifice size which is utilized in a large number of PWR plants. Also, the original selection included each of the three Crosby valves using two different sets of internals: one set which represents valves which are installed in systems which use loop seals, and the second set which represents valves which are installed in non-loop seal plants.
The original selection process resulted in a total of six Crosby safety valve designs selected for test. Once testing was initiated, the valve selection was re-evaluated and it was determined that the Crosby valve selection could be reduced from six safety valve variations to four safety valve variations and still obtain test results
- representative of all Crosby PWR plant safety valve designs.
The tested valves included each of the three orifice sizes originally selected for testing and each of the internal valve seating and guiding material combinations originally selected for testing. The Crosby_ 3K6 safety valve was tested with both the steam and loop seal seating materials designed for their respective applications. These tests demonstrated the performance of the two different seat material combinations within a valve orifice size. With this test data and the assessment that the major effect of the variation in seat materials is on valve seat leakage and not overall valve performance, it was determined that the Crosby 6M6 and 6N8 safety valve designs could be tested utilizing 2-4
- one representative seating material combination in each valve, instead of both loop seal and non-loop seal seating maLerial combinations. Loop seal internals were selected for test in the 6M6 valve (long inlet configuration with a loop seal) and steam internals were selected for test in the 6N8 valve (long inlet configuration with no loop seal).
As a result, the total selection of Crosby safety valves which needed to be tested to provide te~t. data representative of all Crosby PWR plant safety valyes was reduced from three Crosby orifice sizes and two internal seat material combinations per orifice size to three Crosby orifice sizes with two seat material combinations in one orifice size (3K6) and one seat material combination in each of two orifice sizes (6M6, 6N8). The total number of safety valves finally selected for test became seven valves instead of the originally selected quantity of nine valves defined in Reference 1. A description of the three Crosby designs selected for testing is presented below.
- HB-BP-86, 3K6
- This valve model has the smallest orifice size and therfore the smallest flow capacity of the Crosby safety valves. This valve size is utilized in three of the 67 pl ants which have Crosby safety valves.
- HB-BP-86, 6M6 This valve model was selected for testing because it is utilized in 38 of the 67 plants which have Crosby safety valves. Also, it provides test results with an intermediate orifice size which facilitates the extension of the Crosby valve test results to the other smaller Crosby safety valves.
- HB-BP-86, 6N8
'
This valve model has the largest orifice size and flow capacity of the Crosby valves and is utilized in 6 of the 67 PWR plants which have Crosby safety valves. Note that the three Crosby valves selected for test directly represent valves in 47 of the 67 PWR plants which utilize Crosby safety valves. 2.3.1.b. Dresser Industries. The same basic valve design, Model No. 31700, is used in all PWR plants which have Dresser safety valves. The Dresser valve is a direct acting spring loaded safety valve design. Again, a variety of combinations of inlet, 2-5
outlet and orifice sizes are used in the various PWR plants, as shown in Table 2-3. For the tests, two Dresser safety valves were selected, a valve with a small orifice size, and a valve with a large orifice size. Also, the two valves selected for test are the same models and sizes as valves installed in 28 of the 37 PWR plants which have Dresser valves. These valves are briefly described below:
- 31739A This valve model has a small orifice size and flow capacity and is utilized in 11 of the 37 PWR plants which have Dresser safety valves.
- 31709NA This valve model has the largest orifice size and flow capacity and is utilized in 17 of the 37 PWR plants which have Dresser safety valves.
2.3.1.c. Target Rock Corporation. There is only one PWR plant which uses Target Rock safety valves. The test valve, Model No. 69C, is representative of the valves installed in this plant. The Target Rock model is a pilot operated valve design actuated by the system inlet pressure
- 2.3.2 Relief Valves 2.3.2.a Control Components, Inc. The test valve is identical to the Control Com-ponents relief valves which are installed in 4 PWR plants. The Control Components drag valve model is an air operated globe valve design.
2.3.2.b. Copes-Vulcan, Inc. The Copes-Vulcan model is an air operated globe valve design. As indicated in Table 2-4,two different sets of valve internals with different material combinations are utilized in the Copes-Vulcan relief valves. Also, the initial design valves utilized a two-inch valve body with three inch butt weld ends while the more recent valves utilized a three-inch valve body. For the test, the three-inch valve body was selected because it directly represents 25 of the 38 plants which utilize Copes-Vulcan relief valves. Also, the test valve was tested with the two different types of internals in order to obtain results which are representative of all of the Copes-Vulcan valves in PWR plant service. 2-6
I f . 111 2.3.2.c. Crosby Valve and Gage Company. The Crosby model is an electrically actuated pilot operated valve.design. As shown in Table 2-4, there is only one model Crosby relief valve used in PWR plants, Model No. HPV-SN. However, there are differences in the specific versions of this model utilized in the three PWR plants, e.g., differences in bore size and body configuration. However, from a functional standpoint, the test valve is representative of both valve designs. 2.3.2.d. Dresser Industries. The Dresser models are electrically actuated pilot operated valve designs. As indicated in Table 2-4, there are two different Dresser valve models utilized in PWR plants: Model 31533VX-30 which utilizes a bellows in the pilot valve section of the valve, and Model 31533VX which does not have a bellows. For the test, Model 31533VX-30 was selected since it directly represents 20 of the 21 PWR valves. Also, the results obtained from the model 31533VX-30 valve represent Model 31533VX valve performance. 2.3.2.e. Fisher Controls. The Fisher Controls SS-103-SS-95 model is an air operated globe valve design. The test valve is identical to the Fisher Controls relief valves which are installed in three PWR plants .
- 2.3.2.f. Garrett Pneumatic Systems Division. The Garrett valve model is an elec-trically actuated pilot operated valve design. There are two different versions of the same basic Garrett relief valve model, one with an angle body and one with a straight-through body. However, from a functional standpoint, the two valves are virtually identical. Accordingly, the results obtained with the straight-through test valve are representative of both Garrett valve models.
2.3.2.g. Masoneilan. The Masoneilan 20,000 Series model is an air operated globe valve design. The test valve is identical except for a variation in plug geometry to the Masoneilan relief valves-installed in the 8 PWR plants. The test valve results represent the performance of both plug designs and all Masoneilan PWR relief valves. 2.3.2.h. MUESCO .Controls, Inc. The MUESCO Controls 70-18-9 DRTX model is an air operated globe valve design. The test valve is identical to the MUESCO Controls relief valves installed in l PWR plant .
- 2-7
2.3.2.i. Ta.!:..9_~ Rock_ Corporation. The Target Rock BOX-006 model valve is a pilot operated solenoid valve design. The test valve represents the Target Rock relief valves which are installed in 2 PWR plants.

SUMMARY
OF SAFETY VALVE OPERABILITY DATA A total of seven PWR pressurizer safety valve designs were tested under steam, water, steam-to-water transition and loop seal conditions. The seven safety valves selected for testing in the EPRI program and the safety valves represente'd by the valves tested are identified in Section 2.0 of this report. All safety valve testing as part of the EPRI PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Program is complete. The purpose of this section is to present the valve description and inlet piping configurations, "as tested" test matrices, valve performance data and principal obst~rvations for all safety valves tested. To assist in understanding the overall performance of each of the three manufacturer's safety valve clesigns, refer to the Valve Description Section of the "Valve Selection/ Justification Report" (Reference l)as well as Appendix A, "Definition of Key Terms and Parameter::". 3-1
- . 3.1 DRESSE.R S/\FUY VALVE MO!JEL 31739A 3 .1.1 Valve Description and Inlet Piping Configuration, "As Tested" Test Matrix and Valve Performance Data Tests were performed on the Dresser 317.39A safety valve model at the EPRI/CE PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Facility. The valve was tested on both a short (test series 300 and 1100, configuration C) and a long (test series 1000, configuration D) inlet piping configuration. The following is the list of tables that contain the safety valve information/data for these tests:
Table Description Table Number Safety Valve Description and Inlet Piping Configuration 3.1.l.a "As Tested" Test Matrix 3.1.l.b Valve Transient and Leakage Performance Data 3.1.l.c Valve Flow Rate Performance Data 3.1.l.d
- 3.1.2 Principal Observations 3.1.2.a. Short Inlet Configuration (Configuration C). A total of nineteen tests were performed with the valve mounted on a short inlet pipe configuration. Of these tests, fifteen were steam tests performed with ring positions representative of those utilized in typical PWR plant installations and with ring position adjustments meant to improve the valve test performance. The final steam test ring position used (test no. 1104) was then maintained during the remaining non-steam test conditions. The principal observations for these tests are as fQllows:
Steam Tests Tests nos. 302 through 308 were steam tests performed at high and low ramp rates, high and low back pressures and with a ring position established by Dresser as a po~ition representative of typical PWR plant ring positions. For these test~., the valve opened with.in +3% of the valve design set 3-3
prt'ssure, but the valve did not. achiev(~ rated lift at an accumulation pressure of 6% above the valve design set point. In one low back pressure test (no. 306), rated flow was achieved at an accumulation pressure of 6% above the valve design set pressure. Rated flow was not achieved at 6% -0ccumulation pressure for the other tests. For the remaining steam tests, nos. 310 through 328 and no. 1104, the tests were performed at a high ramp rate with high and low back pressures and various ring positions. The purpose of these tests was to achieve and maintain the valve rated lift position or the valve rated flow rate. In all of the 300 series tests and the first actuation in test no. 1104, the valve opened within ~3% of the valve design set pressure and had stable behavior. Valve rated lift was achieved and maintained at both high and low back pressures for the latter 300 series tests (nos. 324 and 326). For the final steam test ring position used in test no. 1104 (selection based on 1000 series long inlet pipe configuration tests), rated lift was not maintained at a pressure 6% above the valve design set pressure but rated fl ow was maintained. The valve closed with 11.0% blowdown. Immediately after closing, the valve re-opened at 2240 psia to a partial lift position and closed at 2227 psia. Transition Test During the high back pressure, steam-to-water transition test, the valve opened within !3% of the valve design set pressure, had stable performance and closed with 19.1% blowdown. Water Tests Three high back pressure water tests were performed at nominal water tem-peratures of 650, 550 and 400°F. The valve had stable behavior for all of the tests. During the 65QOF water test, the valve opened within +3~ of design set pressure and closed with 16.8~ blowdown. For the 5500 water tE'st, the valve opened at 2387 psi a and closed with 12. 3?:0 blowdown. During the 4QQOF water test, the valve opened to a partial lift 3-4
- position within +/-_3% of design set pressure. The system pressure continued to accumulate while the valve remained in a partial lift position. The test was terminated when the tank 1 pressure reached 2749 psia.
Valve Inspection Results The valve was disassembled and inspected during the test series. On inspection, the typical wear pattern observed as scratches or marks on the seat surfaces. To minimize seat leakage, the seats were lapped prior to reassembly and continued testing. 3.1.2.b. Long Inlet Pipe Configuration (Configuration D). A total of twelve tests were performed on the Dresser 31739A safety valve mounted on a long inlet pipe configuration. The principal observations for these tests are as follows: Steam Tests Six drained loop seal steam tests were performed at test initiation ramp rates of 2.3 - 309 psi/sec and with a back pressure range of 220 to 617 psia. The first ring position selected (-48, -60, O) resulted in chatter in test No. 100!:*. The te!;t was terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop the chattering. Following this test, four ring adjustments were made in order to improve the valve test performance. For all of the subsequent tests, the valve opened within +/-_3% of the design set pressure, had stable performance and closed with a bl6wdown range of 10.7 to 14.2%. For those tests when the system pressure accumulated to 6% above the valve design set pressure, rated lift was achieved. Loop Se~l - Steam Tests Three loop seal - steam tests were performed with the two fina*1 ring po-sitions of the steam testing. For two of the tests, the valve lift ini-tiation pressure was within +3% of the valve design set pressure. For the other test, the lift initiation pressure was 2595 psia. During two of the loop seal discharges, the valve fluttered and/or chattered at partial lift positions, then the valve popped open on steam at system 3-5
pressures of 2594 to 2678 psia, stabilized, and closed with 10.0 to 13.9% blowdown. The second ring position used in the loop seal steam tests (-48, -40, +11) was also used for all of the subsequent trans-ition and water tests.
- While the loop seal was being discharged during two of the loop seal tests and one transition test, the valve fluttered and/or chattered through partial lift positions at frequences of approximately 170-260 Hz. The valve oscillations during the water discharge caused water-hammer type pressure oscillations in the valve inlet piping. Pressure oscillations measured in the pressure transducers immediately upstream of the valve inlet indicated pressures ranging from 0 psia to a pressure which over-ranged the transducer at 3400-3600 psia. These pressure oscillations were not observed in Tank 1.
Transition Test One high back pressure, loop seal, steam-to-water transition test was performed. The valve lift initiation occurred at a pressure within ~3% of the valve design set pressure. The valve then fluttered and/or chattered at partial lift positions during the loop seal discharge and subsequently popped open on steam at 2535 p~ia. Valve performance was stable on steam and the valve closed on water with 14.0% blowdown. The pressure oscillation description in the Loop Seal-Steam Tests section also applies to the transition test. Water Tests Two high back pressure water tests were performed at nominal water temp-eratures of 650 and 550°F. The first test was a fi!10°F water test. ThP valve opened, had stable performance and closed with a 19.3% blowdown. During the 550GF water test, the valve opened and chattered. The. test was terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop chattering . 3-6
*
- y_aJ..~_e_ }!1 spe_c ti on .~-es ul ~-s After the water test which was terminated by manually opening and closing the valve to stop chattering, the valve was disassembled and inspected.
Galled guiding surfaces and several damaged internal parts were found. For all other inspections, the typical wear pattern observed was scratches or marks on the seat surfaces. The seat surfaces were lapped prior to reassembly and continued testing in order to minimize seat leakage .

3.2 DRESSER SAFETY VALVE MODEL 31709NA 3.2.l Valve Description and Inlet Piping Configuration, "As Tested" Test Matrix and Valve Performance Data Tests were performed on the Dresser 31709NA safety valve model at the EPRI/CE PWR Safety* and Relief Valve Test Facility. The valve was tested on both a short (test series 600 and 1300, configuration B) and a long (test series 200, configuration A) inlet piping configuration. The following is the list of tables that contain the safety valve information/data for these tests: Jable Description Table Number Safety Valve Description and Inlet Piping Configuration 3. 2. 1. a "As Tested" Text Matrix 3. 2. l. b Valve Transient and Leakage Performance Data 3.2. l.c Valve Flow Rate Performance Data 3.2. l.d
- 3.2.2 Principal Observations 3.2.2.a. Short Inlet Pipe Configuration (Configuration B). A total of fourteen tests was performed on the Dresser 31709NA safety valve with a short inlet pipe configuration. Each of the tests were performed with the valve middle and lower ring positions established by Dresser based on previous EPRI/CE test experience obtained on the Dresser 31739A safety valve. The valve ring positions were not necessarily typical of PWR plant ring p0sitions. The principal observations for these tests are as fo 11 ows:
Steam Tests A total of eight steam tests was performed with high and low ramp rates, varying back pressures from 174 to 530 psia and three different middle ring positions. Neither the valve upper or lower ring positirn was changed during these tests. For all of these tests, the valve opened 3-23
within +3% of the V<ilvl~ i-Jesi~111 *s1~t presstffe und exhibited ~lable performance. In tests wilere the inlet pressure accumulated to 6% above the valve design set pressure, the valve achieved rated lift. Valve bJowdown varied depending on the position of the middle ring and the back pressure. Generally, the valve blowdown decreased as the back pressure increased and as the middle ring was adjusted to higher test positions. Slowdown ranged from a maximum of 14.2% to a minimum of 7.5%. Transition Tests Two steam-to-:water transition tests with an intermediate back pressure (approximately 400 psia) were performed using the highest and lowest middle ring positions of the steam tests. For both tests, the valve opened within +3% of the valve design set pressure and exhibited stable performance. The valve blowdown ranged from 17.0% to 18.5%. Water Tests Four water tests were performed with an intermediate back pressure at nom-inal water temperatures of 650, 550 and 400°F.
- During the two 650° water tests performed which used the highest and lowest middle ring positions of the steam tests, the valve opened at system pressures of 2393-2412 psia and exhibited stable performance. Valve blowdowns ranged from 16.3 to 22.6%.
The two -subsequent water tests (550, 4000F) were performed using the highest middle ring position. For both tests, the valve opened at a system pressure within ~3% of the valve design s~t pressure. During the 550°F water test, the valve opened, had stable behavi6r and closed with 4.0% blowdown. Dllring the 400°F water test, the valve opened at 2558 psia and exhibited five partial lift cycles over a period of three seconds. The valve then 3-24
' '
opened and chattered. Three seconds later in the transient, the valve stopped chattering without manual actuation and then closed. After the transient, a ste~m leakage test was attempted. The valve partially
*opened at which p9int the leak test was terminated.
Valve Inspection Results After the 4000F test, the valve was disassembled and inspected. Galled guiding surfaces and several damaged internal parts were found. For all other inspections, the typical wear pattern observed was scratches or marks on the seat surfaces. The seat surfaces were lapped prior to reassembly and continued testing in order to minimize seat leakage.
- .:.2.2.b. Long Inlet Pipe Configuration (Configuration A). A high ramp rate, low back 1*ressure steam test was performed with the valve mounted on a loop seal configuration
* .. nd the loop seal drained. The safety valve opened within .:'.:.3% of the valve design set rjressure and the transient continued for a total time of 122 seconds. The valve chattered during most of the test duration and then closed at a pressure of 2010 psi a.
~*everal minutes after closure, the valve re-opened at a pressure noted by the loop ciperator of approximately 2150 psi a. The valve chattered during the 10 second duration of the transient and then closed at a pressure just below 2150 psia.
Mter the test, a leak test was performed at an inlet pressure of about 2100 psia. The valve leakage measured was J.54 gpm. The valve was then dissassemb.led and inspec-ted. Galled guiding surfaces and several damaged internal parts were found .

Valve Description and Inlet Piping Configuration, "As Tested" Test Matrix and Valve Performance Data Tests were performed on the Crosby HB-BP-86 3K6 (Steam Internals) safety valve model at the EPRI/CE PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Facility. The valve was tested on both a short (test series 400, configuration E) and a long (test series 500, configuration F) inlet piping configuration. The following is the list of tables that contain the safety valve information/data for these tests: Table Description Table Number Safety Valve Description and Inlet Piping Configuration 3. 3. l. a "As Tested" Test Matrix 3. 3. l. b Valve Transient and Leakage Performance Data 3. 3. l .c Valve Flow Rate Performance Data 3. 3. l .d 3.3.2 Principal Observations 3.3.2.a. Short Inlet Pipe Configuration (Configuration E). Fourteen tests were performed on the Crosby 3K6 (Steam Internals) safety valve mounted on a short inlet pipe configuration. The principal observations for each type of test are as follows: Steam Tests Tests 406 through 411 were high and low ramp rate and high back pressure steam tests. In all of these tests, one set of valve ring positions was maintained which was the manufacturer's recommended ring position. With this ring position the valve opened within !3% of the valve design set pressure, achieved a lift position which was 96% of rated lift when the pressure accumulated to 6% above the valve design set pressure and closed with 10.1-10.9% blowdown. Following these tests, rinq adjustment tests
- 3-35
' '
415 through 425 were performed to decrease blowdown. The final adjustment resulted in decreasing the blowdown to 8.4% with the va*lve performance re-maining stable. In addition, the valve achieved 99 to 100% of rated lift when the pressure accumulated to 6% above the valve design set pressure. The final ring position was maintained for the non-steam tests. Two other steam tests, nos. 441 and 442 were perfcrmed after the water tests were completed and the valve had been refurbished. The purpo~e of the tests was to re-establish va'lve performance simi"lar to the performance obtained on steam prior to valve refurbishment. lhe r'ing positions of test No. 442 were then used for the initial long ~ipe configuration tests of the Crosby 3K6 safety valve. Transition Test During the high back pressure, steam-to-water transition test, the valve opened within ~3% of the valve design set pressure, had stable performance 1 and closed with 8% blowdown. Water Tests Three high back pressure water tests were performed at nominal water temp-eratures of 650°F and 550°F. For the 650°F water test, the valve cycled twice. The valve opened at pressures of 2342 and 2278 psia; For the first cycle, the valve had stable performance and closed with 13.0% blowdown. Two 550°F water tests were performed. In the first test, no. 435, the valve opened within ~3/i. of the valve design set pressure to a partial lift position. The system pressure continued to accumulate while the valve remained in a partial lift position. The test was terminated be-cause the valve did not relieve the pressure in tank 1. In the second 550°F water test performed at similar. conditions, the valve opened and chattered. The test was terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop chattering. 3-36
' .
- Valve Inspection Results After each test which was terminated by manually opening the valve to stop chattering, the valve was disassembled and inspected. Galled guid-ing surfac1~s and several *damaged internal parts were found.
For all other inspections, the typical wear pattern observed was scratches or marks .011 the seat surfaces. The seat surfaces were lapped prior to reassembly and continued testing in order to miminize seat leakage. 3.:l.2.b. Long Inlet Pipe Configuration (Configuration F). Six tests were performed on the Crosby HB-BP-86 3K6 (Steam Internals) safety valve mounted on a long inlet pipe co11figuration. Four of the tests were self actuation steam tests performed with a dr<~ined loop seal. The other two tests were manual actuation tests. The principal observations for the self actuation tests are as follows: Foi three of four steam tests, the valve opened at a syst~m pressure within .:::_3% of the valve design set pressure. In test No. 506, the valve set point was established on a portable air bench device and the valve subsequently opened at a pressure of 2708 psi a. For the tests performed with ring positions resulting in 15.6 - 15.9% blowdown, valve operation was stable and 99% of rated lift was achieved when the pressure was 6% above the valve design set point. During one test (No. 508) performed with ring positions which had resulted in 10.5% blowdown on the last Crosby 3K6 (St~am Inter-nals) short inlet piping configuration test, the valve opened and chattered. The test was terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop chattering. Valve Inspection Results After each test which was terminated by manually open_ing the valve to stop chattering, the valve was disass~mbled and inspected. Galled guid-ing surfaces and several damaqed internal parts were found. For all other inspections, the typical wear pattern observed was scratches or marks on the seat surfaces. The seat surfaces were lapped prior to reassembly and continued testing in order to minimize seat leakage .

Tests were performed on the Crosby HB-BP-86 3K6. (Loop Seal Internals) safety valve model at the EPRI/CE PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Facility. The v~lve model was tested on both a short (test series 400, configuration E) and a long (test series 500, configuration F) inlet piping configuration. The following is the list of tables that contain the safety valve informdtion/data for these tests: Table Description Table Number Safety Valve Description and Inle.t Piping Configuration 3. 4. l. a "As Tested" Test Matrix 3 .4. l. b Valve Transient and leakage Performance Data 3. 4. l. c
- Valve Flow Rate Performance Data 3. 4. l. d 3.4.2 Principal Observations 3.4.2.a. Short .Inlet Pipe Configuration (Configuration E). One steam test was performed on the Crosby HB-BP-86 3K6 (Loop Seal Internals) safety valve mounted on a short inlet pipe configuration (test No. 403). The test was a low ramp rate, high back pressure steam test with a drained loop seal. Prior to this test, higher than typically measured seat leakage was observed. The valve then opened at a reduced pressure pi-ior to activation of the data acquisition system. The valve behavior was stable and the valve closed with a blowdown of 10.lS. After the test, the valve was disassembl1~d and inspected. Scratches and marks were observed on the valve seats. The seats were replaced with steam internal seats.
3.4.2.b. !ong lnl~t P_ipe Conf~_~tion (Configuration F). A total of seven tests 1-1as performed with the valve mounted on a long inlet configuration. Six of the tests were performed using the final ring positions established during the long inlet pipe configuration Crosby 3K6 (Steam Internals) 500 series tests. The last test was performed with the rings adjusted to reduce blowdown. The principal obser-
- vat.ions for these tests are as follows~
3-53
' '
Steam Tests Two high back pressure, drained loop seal steam tests were performed. For both tests, the valve opened within ~3% of the valve design set pressure
- and had stable behavior. When the pressure accumulated to 6% above the valve design set pressure, the valve achieved rated lift. Valve blowdown varied from 15. 7 to 20.1% depending on the ring positions.
Loop Seal-Steam Tests Four loop seal-steam tests were performed at test initiation ramp rates of 3.4-220 psi/sec. For these tests, valve lift initiation occurred at pres-sures ranging from 2536 *psia to 2637 psia. The valve fluttered and/or chattered at partial lift positions during three of the loop seal discharges and was stable during the fourth, then popped open on steam at pressures from 2531 psia to 2708 psia. Valve behavior was stable on steam and the valve achieved rated lift when the pressure was 6%. above the valve design set pressure. The valve closed with 17.7 to 19.9% blowdown. While the loop seal was being discharged during loop seal tests, the valve fluttered and/or chattered through partial lift positions at frequences of
- approximately 170-260 Hz. The valve oscillations during the water dis-charge caused water-hammer type pressure oscillations in the valve inlet piping. Pressure oscill:itions measured in the pressure transducers immediately upstream of the valve inlet indicated pn~ssures ranging from O psia to a pressure which over-ranged the transducer at 3400-3600 psia.
These pressure oscillations were not observed in Tank 1. Transition Test One loop seal-st2am-to-water transition test was performed. For this test, the valve initially opened and fully opened within ~3% of the valve design set pressure and exhibited partial lift flutter and/or chatter during the 3-54
' ' 10011 seal discharge. The val.ve popped open on steam and was stable. When the transition from steam-to-water occurred, the valve began to fl11tter and subsequently chatter. The test was terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop chattering. The pressure oscillations description in the Loop Seal-Steam Tests section also applies to the transition test. Valve Inspection Results After each test which was terminated by manually opening the valve to stop chattering, the valve was disassembled and inspected. In each case, galled guiding surfaces and damaged internal parts were found. Damaged parts were either refurbished or replaced prior to continued testing. For all other inspections, the typical wear pattern observed was scratches or marks on the seat surfaces. The seat surfaces were lapped prior to reassembly and continued testing in order to minimi~e seat leakage. 3-55

(3) The appropriate measurement conditions were not achieved.
For the low backpressure test, the valve opened at a system pressure of 2410 psia, had stable behavior and closed with 8.2% blowdown. Loop Seal-Steam Tests Seven 100°F nominal temperature loop seal-steam tests were performed at test initiation ramp rates of 3.2-375 psi/sec and back pressures ranging from 227 to 710 psia. For four tests, the valve lift initiation occured at a system pressure within .:!::_3% of the valve design set pressure. For all of the tests, the valve initially opened, fluttered and/or chattered at partial lift po-sition during the loop seal discharge, then popped open on steam at press8res ranging from 2580 to 2734 psia and stabilized. The valve closed with a blow-down varying from 5.1 to 9.4%. Four high ramp rate, low back pressure, 350°F nominal temperature loop seal-steam tests were performed. For all of the tests, the valve opened initially within .:!::_3% of the valve design set pressure, fluttered and/or chattered at partial lift position during the loop seal discharge (except test no. 1415), popped open on steam at pressures of 2662-2755 psia and closed with 6.2-9.0% blowdown. During two tests, the valve chattered on closu*re, and the tests were terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop the chattering. While the loop seal was being discharged during loop seal tests, the valve fluttered and/or chattered through partial lift positions at frequencies of approximately 170-260 Hz. The valve oscillations during the water dis-charge caused water-hammer type pressure oscillations measured in the valve inlet piping. For the 900 series tests, pressure oscillations measured in the pressure transducers located 13 inches upstream of the valve inlet flange face indicated pressures ranging from 0 psia to a pressure which over-ranged the transducer at 3400-3600 psia. For the 1400 series tests, the 900 series pressure transducers were replaced by pressure transducers with increased pressure ranges and strain gauges were mounted on the inlet pipe 15 inches upstream of the valve inlet flange face. The 1400 series data indicated that the pipe was responding to internal pressure oscillations of +/-_2450 psia at a frequency of approximately 170-260 Hz about a steady state pressure of 2650 psia. These internal pressures are based on strain gauge data since the
- pressure transducer sensing line lengths did not result in accurate pressure measurements for the frequency of these oscillations.

Tests were performed on the Crosby HB-BP-86 6M6 (Loop Seal Internals) safety valve model at the EPRI/CE PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Facility. The valve model was tested. on a long inlet piping configuration (test series 900 and 1400, configuration G). The fol lowing is the 1ist of tables that contain the safety valve information/data for these tests: Table Description Table Number Safety Valve Description and Inlet Piping Configuration 3.5.l.a "As Tested" Test Matrix 3. 5. 1. b Valve Transient and Leakage Performance Data 3.5. l.c Valve Flow Rate Performance Data 3.5.l.d 3.5.2 Principal Observations A total of seventeen tests were performed on the Crosby HB-BP-86 6M6 (Loop Seal Internals) safety valve mounted on a long inlet pipe configuration. Essentially, two groups of tests were performed. The first group of tests (nos. 903 to 926) were performed with *several "lowered" ring positions selected in order to increase the valv~ opening time and decrease the inlet transient pressure drop. The second group of tests (nos. 929 to 932 and the 1400 series tests) generated valve performance data for the Crosby valve with ring positions representative of typical PWR plant ring positions. The principal observations for these tests are as follows: Steam Tests Two high ramp rate steam tests were performed at high and low back pres-sures. During the high back pressure test, the valve opened at a system pressure of 2490 psia, had stable behavior and closed with 9.5% blowdown . 3-65
- Transition Tests Three low ramp rate, high back pressure, steam-to-water transition tests were performed. Two of the tests included loop seals (nos. 914 and 931) and one test was a drained loop seal test (no. 926). Test number 914 was performed with the valve rings inccirrect1y set and the valve chattered during the steam portion of the test. For the tests with the rings cor-rectly set, the valve had stable performance and closed with blowdowns of 9.1 to 13.1%. The pressure oscillation description in the Loop Seal-Steam
_l~t~ section also applies to the loop seal-transition tests. Water Tests After the valve closed on test no. 931 (loop seal-steam-to-water transi-tion test), the system was permitted to repressurize and the valve cycled on 650°F nominal temperature water. Test observations indicated that the valve did not chatter. During the 550°F subcooled water test, the valve opened at a system pressure within +/-_3% of the valve design set pressure and chattered. The test was terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop the chattering. Valve Lift For those.tests in which the valve was in full lift at a pressure 6% above the valve design set pressure, rated flow was achieved even though the valve was in a lift position of up to 8% below rated lift. Valve Inspection Results After each test which was terminated by manually opening the valve to stop chattering, the valve was disassembled and inspected. In each case, galled guiding surfaces and damaged internal parts were found. 3-67
Damaged parts were eilher refurbished or replaced prior to continued testing. For all other inspections, the typical wear pattern observed was scratches or marks on the seat surf aces. The seat surfaces were lapped prior to
~eassembly and continued testing in order to minimize 1seat leakage.

- A total of eight tests was performed with the Crosby HB-BP-86 6N8 (Steam Internals) safety valve mounted on a long straight inlet pipe configuration. A flow venturi was not in -place during these tests. The principal observations for these tests are as follows:
Steam Tests Five steam tests were performed at test initiation ramp rates of 2-325 psi/sec with three different ring positions. For all of the tests, the valve opened within ~3% of the design set pressure and had stable behavior. For those tests in which the system pressure was 6% above the valve design set pressure, the valve achieved a lift position which was 97% of its rated lift. The first two tests were performed with ring positions (-110, -18) repre-3-83
' *,
sentative of typical PWR plant ring positions. The valve opened, had stable behavior and closed with a blowdown range of 15.1 to 16.6%. Both tests were high back pressure tests.
- In order to reduce the valve bJowdown, the ring positi*ons were changed two
~imes during the subsequent steam tests. The last ring position (-40, -18) resulted in a blowdown of 9.6% and 9.8% for high and low back pressures, respectively. The last ring position was used during the subsequent transition and water tests.
Transition Test One low ramp rate, high back pressure, steam-to-water transition test was performed. The valve had stable behavior during the four actuations of this transition test. During the initial actuation, the valve opened at a system pressure within ~3% of valve design set pressure and closed with 8.6% blowdown. During the subsequent actuations,! the opening pressure range was 2420 - 2480 psia and the closing pressur~ range was 2120 - 2305 psi a. Water Tests
- Two high back pressure water tests were performed at nominal temperat~res of 650°F and 550°F.
During the 650°F water test, the valve opened at a system pressure within +3% of the valve design set pressure, had stable behavior and closed with 20 .9~~ bl owdown. During the 5500F water test, the valve opened at 2526 psia and chattered. The test was terminated after the valve was manually opened to stop the chat te'ri ng. 3-84
*
' .
- After the 55QOF water test which was terminated by manually opening the valve to stop chattering, the valve was disassembled and inspected.
Galled guiding surfaces and several damaged internal parts were found. For all other inspections, the typical wear pattern observ~d was scratches or marks on the seat surfaces. The seat surfaces were lapped prior to reassembly and continued testing in order to minimize seat leakage~

The valve was tested on a long (test series 700, configuration I) inlet piping configuration. The following is the list of tables that contain t~e safety valve information/data for these tests: Table Description Table Number Safety Valve Description arid Inlet Piping Configuration 3.7.1.a "As Tested Test Matrix 11 3.7.1.b Valve Transient and Leakage Performance Data 3.7.1.c Valve Flow Rate Performance Data 3.7.1.d
- 3.7.2 Principal Observations A total of nine tests were performed with the Target Rock 69C pilot operated safety valve mounted on a long inlet pipe configuration. The principal observations for these tests are as follows:
Steam Tests Two high ramp rate steam tests were performed with high and low back pressures. For these high ramp rate tests, the pilot disc opened within
+3% of the valve design set pressure and the main disc opened at pressures of 2612 and 2630 psia. The valve exhibited stable performance and closed with less than 4% blowdown. When the system pressure accumulated to 6%
above the valve design set pressure, rated flow was achieved. 3-95
Loop Seal ~ Steam Tests Two high back pressure loop seal-steam tests were performed at high and low ramp rates. For the low ramp rate test, the valve cycled opened and closed a total of eight times in response to system repressurizations. For the initial actuation cycle, the pilot disc and the main disc opened within ~3% of the valve design set pressure, exhibited stable performance and closed with 4.9% blowdown. In the subsequent actuations, the pilot disc and main disc opened and closed at generally decreasing pressures down to minimum opening and closing pressures of 2390 and 2325 psia, respectively. Valve performance was stable for all cycles. For the high ramp rate test, the pilot disc opened within +3% of the valve design set ~ressure and the main disc opened at a pressure of 2610 psia. The valve ex1ioited stable performance and closed with 8.5% blowdown. When the system pressure accumulated to 6% above the valve design set pressure, rated flow was achieved. Transition Test In the loop seal-steam-to-water transition test, the valve cycled opened and closed twice. For the first cycle, the valve opened on the loop seal and closed on steam with performance similar to the low ramp rate loop seal-steam test performance. The system repressurized and the valve pilot disc and main disc opened on steam with performance similar to the low ramp rate steam test performance, had stable performance and closed on water with 12.5% blowdown. Water Tests Four cold loop seal-water tests were performed at nominal water tempe~ atures of 6S0°F, 550bF and 4000F (2 tests). For the initial actuation cycle of each test, the pilot disc and main disc opened within +/-_35~ of the valve design set pressure and closed with 3.1 to 23.7 blowdowns. In the 550°F water test, the valve ~ycled open and closed seven additional times in response to system repressurization with opening pressures of 2390-2466 psia and closing pressures of 2245-2390 psia. 3-96

Based on upstream pressure data, the valve fluttered during all of the water tests. Valve Inspection Results The valve was disassembled and inspected twice. The first inspection occurred after the water tests were completed. For this inspection, it was observed that the main disk shaft had bowed and that there was scoring of the piston and piston ring. A new valve was used for the final two steam tests rather than refurbishing the existing test valve. The inspection of the second test valve occurred after the two steam tests were completed. No wear was observed .

SUMMARY
OF RELIEF VALVE OPERABILITY DATA A total of ten relief valves were tested under steam, water, steam to water (tran-sition) and water seal conditions. The ten relief valves selected for testing in the EPRI Program, and the relief valves represented by the valves tested are identified in Section 2.0 of this report. All relief valves testing as part of the EPRI/PWR Safety and Relief Valve Test Program is complete. The purpose of this section is to present the "as tested" test matrices, valve performance data and principal observations for all relief valves tested. To assist in understanding the overall performance of each of the manufacturer's relief valve designs, refer to the Valve Description section of the "Valve Selection/ Justification Report" (Hcference 1). 4-1
. ' 4.1 DRESSER RELIEF VALVE 4.1.1 "As Tested" Test Matrices and Valve Performance Data Tests were performed on the Dresser relief valve model at the Marshall Steam Station and _during Phase II and Phase III of the Wyle Test Program. The following is the list of tables that contain the "as tested" test matrices and valve performance data for the Dresser relief valve tested at each of the test facilities. Test "As Tested" Test Valve Performance Facility Matrix Table Data Table Marshall 4.1.l-la 4.1.l-lb Wyl e (Phase II) 4.l.l-2a 4.l.l-2b Wyl e (Phase II I) 4.1.1-3a 4.l.l-3b 4.1.2 Principal Observations Marshall Steam Station The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the eleven (11) evaluation test cycles. During the evaluation tests, steam leaked past the valve pilot stem. Upon valve disassembly, the bellows was found to have several partially failed welds. The valve was reassembled with a new bellows and cycled 16 more times with varying steady state pilot backpressures up to 900 psig. The valve fully opened and closed on demand for each cycle and the bellows did not leak. Upon disassembly, the bellows did not have any visible cracks. In all test cases, the valve fully opened on demand and closed on demand even though the bellows was damaged during some tests. Based on this input and the manufacturer's assessment of valve performance with the observed damage, the damage was determined to have no potential impact on valve npPration. 4-3
The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the five (5) test cycles. Wyle Phase III The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand during nine (9) of the twelve (12) tests performed. The valve fully opened on demand and did not close on demand during the three (3) water seal simulation tests; number 16-DR-6W, 2?-DR-9W/W and 24-DR-6W. Each test was a 2500 psia pressure test with low temperature water just upstream of the valve followed by 650°F water. In test number 16-DR-6W, the low temperature water was at l03°F. During the test, the Dresser valve opened on demand. Upon de-energizing the valve for closure, the valve remained open until the valve was isolated from the
!
test loop. At an indeterminate time following 'test valve isolation, the valve closed. The valve was isolated approximately 40 seconds after it was signaJled _to close. The valve was removed from the test facility and disassembled by the Dresser representative. No damage was observed which might affect the ability of the valve to open/close on demand. In test number 22-DR-9W/W, the low temperature water at the valve inlet was 321°F. During the test, the valve opened on demand. Upon de-energizing the valve for closure, the valve remained open for 2 seconds and then closed fully. Test number 24-DR-6W was a repeat of the test l 6-DR-6W except that the test was run to maximize the time before the valve was i so 1ated. The water temperature immediately upstream of the valve was 105°F. During the test, the valve opened on demand but failed to close immediately upon de-energjzing the solenoid. The valve closed on its own approximately 70 seconds after the closure signal at an inlet pressure of approximately 2110 psi a. 4-4
' ' After all tests were completed, the Dresser valve was removed, disassem-bled, and inspected. No damage was observed which might affect the ability of the valve to open/close on demand. Valve Opening/Closing Times
.No direct measurement of stem position was possible for the Dresser relief valve design. Therefore, no valve opening or .closing stroke times have been reported. Estimates of total opening/closing times (time from energize/ de-energize signal to full open/closed) have been made and are reported in the Valve Performance Data Table. These estimates were based on accelerometer or acoustic emission detector and inlet pressure measure-1nents and the methods used were confirmed by evaluation of data from other valves tested with stem position indication available.

CROSBY l{LLlE.r Vl\LVL 4.2.l "As Tested" Test Matrices and Valve Performance Data Tests were performed on the Crosby relief valve model at the Marshall Steam Station, and during Phase II and Phase III of the Wyle Test Program. The foll6wing is the list of tables that contain the "as tested" test matrices and valve performance data for the Crosby relief valve tested at each of the test facilities. Test "As Tested" Test Valve Performance Facility Matrix Table Data Table Marshall 4.2.l-la 4.2.l-lb Wyle (Phase II) 4.2.l-2a 4.2. l-2b Wyle (Phase III) 4.2. l-3a 4.2.l-3b 4.2.2 Principal Observations
- Marshall Steam Station The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand during each of the eleven (11) evaluation tests.
Following several successful actuations performed prior to the evaluation tests, the Crosby valve failed to open on demand during 5 attempts and on. a subsequent test failed to seat properly. When the valve was disassembled and inspected, one bellows weld fracture was found and a bellows assembly part was found to be improperly machined. The bellows was replaced, the bellows assembly was correctly machined and the valve was reassembled for further tests. The valve was subsequently cycled fifty (50) times (dry, unpressurized) and twenty-eight (28) times (steam, full pressure/flow) including the eleven (11) evaluation tests. The valve fully opened and closed on demand and no bellows leakage occurred during these tests. 4-13
' '
Wyl e Phase II Prior to Wyle Phase II testing, the test valve (a different valve than that test<:d at Marshall) was disassembled and_ inspected. During this inspec-
- tion. it was noted that the bellows assembly was incorrectly machined as was the case for the Marshall valve. The bellows assembly was correctly machined prior to Wyle testing.
The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the six (6) test cycles. Upon disassembly after tests were completed, the pilot bellows was found to leak. Wyle Phase III The same Crosby valv~ tested during Phase II was utilized during Phase III of Wyle testing. The va l ve f ul l y opened on dem an d and f u11 y c l os e d on demand for e ac h of t he ten (10) test cycles. Upon disassembly after tests were completed, the pilot. bellows was observed to be damaged. Be 11 ows Damage
- In all test cases, the valve fully opened on demand and closed on demand even though the bellows had been damaged. Based on this input and the manufacturer's assessment of valve performance with the observed damage, the damage was determined to have no potent i a1 impact on valve operation.
_'{_(l_l_v_E -~pe_r:!__i_~g/_C_l_ns. i n_g__ T_j!1~~-S. No direct measurement of stem position was possible for the Crosby reli~f valve design. Therefore, no valve opening or closing stroke times have been reported. Estimates of total opening/closing times (time from energize/de-energize signal to full open/closed) have been made and are reported in the Valve Performance Data Table. These estimates were based on a:celerometer or acoustic emission detector and inlet pressure measurements and the mE'thods used were c9nf i rmed by evaluation of data from other valves tested with stem position indication available. 4-14
I r * '
- Supplementary Information During both Wyle Phase II and Phase III testing, the valve exhibited a tendency not to seal at very low pressures (below 100 psi). Repeated actuations and/or rapid pressurization of the valve inlet were at times required to obtain proper valve seating .

- Tile va.l ve fu 11 y opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the eleven (11) evaluation test cycles.
WJle Phase III Tile valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand in eleven (11) oi the twelve (12) test cycles. The valve did not close on demand when the ftill pressure 2500 psi, water seal simulation test (test number 7-TR-7W) was performed. The water just upstream of the valve was llOOF water. For this test, the valve opened on.demand. Upon de-energizing the valve for closure, the valve remained opened for approximately 12 seconds and then closed at an inlet pressure of 2130 psia. The valve was removed from the tE'st facility and disassembled by the Target Rock representative following this test, test 9-TR-6W and again upon completion of all testing of this valve design. No damage was observed which might affect the ability of the valve to open/close on demand .
- 4-23
Valve Opentng/Closing Times Magnetic limit switches were installed on the casing surrounding the valve stem which provided an indication of stem position. Data from these limit switches was used to obtain stroke and total opening times during the Marshall test. During Wyle testing of this valve, these limit switches began to exhibit sensitivity to test vibrations. Therefore, for all Wyle tests of this valve, stroke times are not reported and estimates of total opening/closing times were obtained utilizing accelerometer and inlet pressure measurements. This method for estimating opening/tlosng times was confirmed by evaluation of data from other valves tested with direct stem position indication available .

- 4.4 CON1ROL COMPONENTS RELifF VALVE 4.4.1 "As Tested" Test Matrices and Valve Performance Data Tests were_ performed on the Control Components relief valve model at the Marshall Steam Station and during Phase III of the Wyle Test Program. The following is the list of tables that contain the "as tested" test matrices and valve performance data for the Control Components relief valve tested at each of the test facilities.
Test "As Tested" Test Valve Performance Facility Matrix Table Data Table Marsha 11 4.4.l-la 4.4.l-lb Wyle (Phase III) 4.4.l-2a 4.4. l-2b 4.4.2 Principal Observations Marsh1ll Steam Station The v.ilve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the seven~een (17) evaluation test cycles. The valve fully opened and closed on demand during all seven (7) tests perfo~med with normal air supply (air utilized to open Bnd close valve) avail ible. An additional ten (10) tests were performed on this valve utili 'ing the spring force only to close the valve (without air assist on closu*'e). During all of these tests, the valve opened fully on demand. Howev,~r, during five (5) of these tests, the valve exhibited delay on closu1'e. Closure delay times ranging from two (2) to forty (40) seconds were _c,bserved. Closure delays of less than three ( 3) seconds were observed under steam and steam/preload conditions. Closure delays of twenty (20) and iorty (40) seconds were observed under 2500 psia, 6500f water condi~ions. In all cases where valve closure delays were observed, full closui*e occurred at an inlet pressure at or above 2035 psia. 4-31
I I 1 , Tests under each of the conditions which resulted in closure delays were repeated utilizing air for both opening and closing the valve. In all such tests. the valve opened and closed on demand. Following the first test resulting in a significant closure delay and again upon completion of testing, the valve was disassembled and inspected by the Control Components representative. No damage was observed which might affect the ability of the valve to open or close on demand. 4-33

During several supplementary tests performed prior to the evaluation tests, the valve opening stroke times were in excess of three (3) seconds. The regulated air supply pressure to the air operator was increased from approximately 55 to 60 psig for all evaluation tests. Wyle Phase III A total of eleven te~.ts were performed. For all tests, the valve opened and closed on demand. The valve was disassembled and inspected by the Masoneilan valve representative. No damage was observed that would affect future valve performance. The cage to body gasket had partially "washed out" during testing .

' .
The valv(' opening time exhibited a sensitivity to the air supply system pressure supplied to the valve's air actuator. For the tests performed, air supply accumulator pressures were varied between 54+1 and 59+1 PSIG
- resulting in total valve opening times ranging from 1.6 to 6.4 seconds.
Valve opening times were also found to be sensitive to the size of tubing. used in the air supply system. Figure 4.5.2-1 depicts the air supply system utilized during testing. The original air supply system utilized during the checkout of the Masoneilan valve had 1/4" tubing between the solenoid valve and the air actuator, as recommended in the valve manufacturer's instruction manual. When the tubing size was increased to 1/2", dry stroke times in the range of 2 seconds were obtained. Table 4.5.2-1 summarize'., the observed relationship between accumulator pressure, actuator inlet pressure, and valve opening stroke times. 4-50

An additional eleven (11) evaluation tests were performed on the valve with a replacement stem, plug and gaskets. These parts had exhibited wear and the stem was observed to be bent slightly following the first set of tests and a second set of tests was reco~mended by MUESCO Controls for information purposes. The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the evaluation test cycles. Similar wear patterns were found and the replacement stem was bent slightly. During supplementary tests prior to the initial evaluation tests, valve opening times as long as* ten (10) seconds and closing times as long as twenty (20) seconds were observed. The air supply solenoid valve supplied by MUESCO was replaced prior to evaluation testing with the solenoid valve

The Marshall air supply line solenoid valve had a larger orifice area than the solenoid valve which was supplied by MUESCO with the test valve. Wyle Phase III A total of seven (7) tests were performed on this valve design. During all tE*sts the valve fully opened and fully closed on demand. Following completion of testing, the valve was disassembled and inspected by the MUESCO Controls representative. Scratches were observed on the plug gLiding surface.* No damage was observed that wo.uld affect future valve performance. 4-77

- 4.9 FISHER CONTROLS RELIEF VALVE 4.9.1 "As Tested" Test Matrices and Valve Performance Data Tests performed on the Fisher Controls relief valve model at the Marshall Steam Station and during Phase III of the Wyle Test Program.
The following is the list of tables that contain the "as tested" test matrices and valve performance data for the Fisher Controls relief valve tested at each of the test facilities. Test "As Tested" Test Valve Performance Facility Matrix Table Data Table Marshall 4.9.l-la 4.9.l-lb Wyle (Phase III) 4.9.l-2a 4.9.l-2b 4.9.2 Principal Observ~tions Marshall Steam Station The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the eleven (11) evaluation test cycles. At the conclusion of these tests, the va l ve was d i s as s em bl e d and ga11 i ng was observed on the p l ug and c age mat i ng surfaces. In addition to the evaluation tests, three other sets of cycles were performed on the valve. The first two sets of cycles were performed on a set of cage and plug parts which did not represent the correct Fisher Controls design for the PORV application. During the first set of cycles, the valve always closed on demand to within 4% of the full closed position on each cycle. After the cycles were completed, the valve was disassembled and galling was observed on the plug and cage mating surfaces. The galling was more severe than the evaluation test cycle galling pattern. A second set of tests were then performed using the same internals after they had been refurbished. For those tests, the valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of 14 cycles. 4-83
The evaluation tests were then performed on a set of cage and plug parts with correct clearances. These are the tests discussed in the first paragraph cif this section and they represent Fisher Controls PORVs sup-* plied to PWR plants with the correct internals. A fourth set of cycles were performed on a set of trim with the correct design clearances. The *valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each cycle. A galling pattern similar to that observed in the evaluation tests was observed. Again, it was less severe than the pattern observed when the valve did not fully close on demand Wyle Phase III During all ten (10) tests performed, the valve fully opened arid fully closed on demand.
- Fisher Controls Incorporated authorized the Control Specialists Company to perform maintenance on Fisher valves during the Wyle tests. Following completion of testing a Control Specitlists representative disassembled and inspected the Fisher PORV. Scratches were observed on the plug and cage guiding surfaces.
At EPRI request, each relief valve manufacturer 1 s representative made an engineering assessment of the potential effects of observed *damage on futur*e valve operation for all other PORVs tested. Prior to initiation of Wyle testing of the Fisher valve, Fisher Controls and Control Specialists took the position that no such assessment would be made for this valve and therrfore, none was made upon completion of testing. 4-85

- Marshall Steam Station The valve fully opened on demand and fully closed on demand for each of the eleven (11) evaluation test cycles.
Additional cycles were performed on the valve. Following 46 of these cycles, body to bonnet gasket leakage developed. In all cycles, the valve fully closed on demand. Disassembly showed wash-out of the cage to body gaskd. As a result of the test observations, Garrett incorporated design modifications into the test valve for Wyle Phase III tests and into valves being supplied to PWR plants. Wyle Phase III The valve fully opened and fully closed on demand during all ten (10) tests performed. Upon completion of testing, the valve was disassembled and inspected by the Garrett Corporation representative. No damage was
- observed which would affect future operation.

- APPENDIX A DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS AND PARAMETERS F6R SAFETY VALVES .
The definitions are provided for each of the Safety Valve tables presented in section 3.0. The following definitions apply to Tables 3.1.1.a, 3.2. l .a, 3.3.1.a, 3.4.1.a, 3.5.1.a, 3.6.1.a and 3.7.1.a: KEY TERMS AND PARAMETERS DEFINITION Valve Description The valve description is a list of design and name-plate information for the test valve. Inlet Piping Each element of the piping between the accumulator Configuration tank (tank 1) and the valve inlet is listed along with its length and inside diameter. The elements are listed sequentially from the tank (nozzle) to the valve inlet (inlet flange). Letter designations have been assigned to each configuration and that letter is referenced in this table .
- A-1
The following definitions apply to Tables 3.1.1.b, 3.2.l.b, 3.3.1.b, 3.4.1.b, 3.5.1.b, 3.6.1.b and 3.7.1.b: KEY TERMS AND PARAMETERS Test No. DEFINITION There is a unique identification number for each test.
- These numbers were assigned in ascending order to the tests when they were conducted; however, the numbers are not continuous. For example, tests on one of the valves were numbered 403, 406, 408 .... Every valve test performed is li~ted in the tables.
For some of the tests, the valves were cycled opened and closed more than once. The test procedure typ-ically called for continued system pressurization to obtain three-to-five minutes of test time for each test. If the .valve closed within seconds after opening, system repressurization .was permitted to continue and the valve was cycled open and closed
- through multiple cycles until the planned test dura-tion was completed. In the case of transition tests, system repressurization was again permitted and the valve cycled as often as required in order to obtain the stea~-to-water transition. For the tests which resulted in multiple cyqles of the test valve, all of
- the data for the first cycle has been listed in the tables. For the subsequent cycles, the data has been provided for the key valve test parameters related to the fluid type, valve opening, peak and closing pressures, back pressures and valve stability. The first cycle of the multiple cycles has been designated as cycle 11 a 11 and the remaining cycles have been designated as b, c, d . . . .

- T1 *st Type The following types of tests were performed:
Steam - the fluid at the valve inlet and in the accumulator tank (tank 1) at test initiation and throughout the test was steam. L.S. - these tests were loop seal tests. Just prior to test initiation, the fluid at the valve inlet was subcooled water and the fluid in the accumulator was steam. Once the loop seal water was discharged, the test fluiu was steam. Trans. - these tests were transition tests. Prior to test initiation, the fluid at the valve inlet was steam and the fluid in the upper and lower portions of the accumulator tank were steam and saturated water, respectively. The valve opened on steam and closed on saturated water during the transition test . A-2 *
-, 1*
.<<l' 1',
- L.S. Trans. ~ these tests were loop seal transition tests. The test was the same as a transition test except that the fluid immediately upstream of the safety valve was subcooled water.
Water - the fluid at the valve inlet and in the accumulator tank at test initiation and throughout the test was approximately saturated water, 550°F water or 400°F water. The water tests progressed from satura-ted water to the 55QOF water test and finally the 400°F water test. Target Rock test included cold loop seals.
~alve Ring Settings Valve ring positions are listed for the safety valve adjusting rings. Descriptions of the reference posi-tion for each of the safety valve manufacturer's valves tested are as follows:
Crosby Valves have two adjusting rings, an upper or guide ring and a lower or nozzle ring. Positions in the table are given in notches relative to the level position. For the upper ring, the level position (O notches) is the position when the bottom of the upJ!er ring is flush with the bottom of the disc ringll). For the lower ring, the level position (O notches) is the position when the top surface of the lower ring is in contact with the bottom of the disc ring. Positive ring positions are positions where the rings have been moved up from the level position and negative ring positions are positions where the rings have been moved down from the level position. Field positions for the upper ring are provided by Crosby in notches relative to the "highest locked position" which is the upper limit of the ring's travel. The lower ring field positions are the same as the level positions. Both of the ring field positions are marked by Crosby on the valve. Dresser Valves have three adjusting rings, termed upper, middle and lower rings. Positions for the upper ring are given in notches relative to the position where the top of the upper ring is flush with the top of the holes in the guide. Positions for the bottom surface of the middle ring and the top surface of the lower ring are relative to the seat plane. The term "level position" is not applicable to the Dresser safety valves. TiTTue disc ring is not an adjusting ring A-3
- Field settings may be provided by Dresser relative to the bottom of the disc holder instead of the seat plane. The Dresser Instruction Manual re-lates the disc holder* plane to the seat plane in terms of notches for the lower and middle rings.
The Target Rock Valve does not have adjustment rings so the ring setting column is not applicable. Inlet* Piping Configuration Refer to the definitions applicable to Tables 3.1.l.a through 3.7.l.a. Condition at Valve Opening The fluid type, pressure, temperature and pres-surization rate are listed for tank 1 and the fluid and temperature are tabulated for the valve inlet. All conditions are listed at the point in time when the valve initially begins to open. Specific parameters are as follows: Fluid - the fluid types are described under the definition for test type. For transition tests, two fluids are listed fo1* tank 1. The first fluid listed is the fluid in the top of the tank and the second fluid listed is the fluid in the lower portion of the tank. Pressure - the pressure is the valve main disc initial opening pressure. Temperature - the temp9ratures for steam con-ditions correspond to the state reached by pres-surizing steam which was initially saturated at a nominal pressure of 2300 psia. Note (1) is used in the tables instead of a ni.;merical temperature value for these cases. Pressurization Rate - The pressurization rate is determined from the accumulator (tank 1) pressure at the time the test valve began to open. Transient Conditions. The peak inlet pressure, back pressure, and liquid flow which occur while the valve is open are tabulated. In addition, the induced bending moments are tabulated. Specific parameter definitions are as follows: A-4
- Peak Tank 1 Pressure - This is the maximum pressure observecr---;-r; tank 1 during a test.
P2ak Back Prssure - This is the maximum sustained outlet pressure just downstream of the test valve which was observed during a test. During transition and water tests, the same back pressure orifice was used in the discharge piping as was used in the high back pressure steam tests with the exception of the Dresser 31709NA safety valve. For this valve, the intermediate back pressure orifice was used. Induced Bending Moment Opening/Closing - The mo-ments tabulated are the maximum bending moments imrosed on the test valve discharqe flange by the discharge piping. The first value listed is the larger of the bending moments during valve open-ing or valve closing when both values were avail-able. If only one moment was available, that value was listed. Maximum Steady Liquid Flow - The maximum water flow rate for which a stabl~ flow measurement was obtained .

Test . Type Refer to the definitions applicable to Tables 3.1.l.b through 3.7.l.b. Pre-Test Valve Leakage Pre-test valve leakage was measured before each test. The purpose of the valve leakage measure-ments were to insure that leakage during the multiple tests of a test series was within a range that the valve manufacturer assessed would provide representative valve performance. The leakage procedure and leakage range were only related to the safety valve tests and were not based on PWR plant leakage procedures. The leakage test and leakage range were included as part of the test procedure in order to determine whether or not a test should be performed. If leakage occurred which exceeded the manufacturer's recommended test range, the valve was disassembled and the seats were normally lapped and in some cases replaced.
- The leakage data is included to supplement the valve performance information.
Specific test parameter definitions are as fol-lows: Media - the media is the fluid at the valve inlet used for the leakage test. Nominal Valve Inlet Pressure and Temperature-these are the approximate conditions at the valve inlet when the leakage test was performed. Leakage Rate - Leakage is expressed as gallons per minute of condensed leakage. One gpm condensed leakage is equivalent to a leakage rate of about 500 lbs/hr of steam. Valve Opening The data includes safety valve opening pressure, ~nd Closing opening ti111e, closing pressure, valve blowdown and an assessm(?nt of valve stability. These parameters describe the valve performance from valve opening through valve closure and are defined as frillows: A-6 *
- Initial Valve Opening Pressure - this is the test valve inlet static pressure at which there is a 111t'il'.LJt't1blv lift ol t11e disc away fro111 the closed position. The pressure is measured in the ac-cumulator (tank 1). The initial valve opening pressure corresponds to the main disc lift for the Crosby and Dresser test valves and corresponds to the pilot disc lift for the Target Rock test valve.
Opening Pop Pressure - the pop pressure is the value of increasing inlet static pressure at which the main disc for all three manufacturer's designs moves in the opening direction at a faster rate as compared with corresponding movement at higher or lower pressures. Opening Simmer time - Simmer time is the time elapsed between initial valve opening pressure and the valve pop pressure (see Figure A-1).
- Opening Pop Time - This was the effective time for the valve stem to move from the closed position to the rated lift positiori. In cases where the pop starts from an intermediate lift and/or the valve does not reach rated lift, the slope of the stem position is extrapolated to give a pop time for the
- entire lift range. The pop time does not include the stem acceleration time which normally occurs at the beginning of the pop. This is included with the total simmer time (see Figure A-1). Pop time is not applicable to subcooled water tests.
Tank 1 Pressure at Valve Closure - Closing pressure is the pressure at which the valve main disc re-establishes contact with the seat (reseats). The pressure is measured in the accumulator (tank 1).
% Slowdown - Slowdown as used herein is the dif-ference between the design set pressure and the actual reseating pressure expressed as a per-centage of the design set pressure.
NOTE: ANSI S95.l defines blowdown relative to the actual popping pressure. Valve Stability - the valve stem behavior while the valve is open is defined as follows: Chatter - chatter is rapid reciprocating motion of the movable parts in which the disc contacts the seat .
- A-7
Flutter - flutter is rapid reciprocating motion of the movable parts in which the disc does not contact the seat. Stable - the. va*lve opens, remains open and closes without flutter and/or chatter.
- In some tests, combinations of these behaviors occurred (e.g. loop seal discharge) and the com-binations are clarified by a footnote on a case-by-case basis.
Post-Test Leakage The definition for the pre-test valve leakage applies except that the post-test valve leakage measurement was conducted after the test was com-pleted. In tests with multiple cycles, the post-test leakage data are listed for the first cycles but were measured after the last cycle. *

The following definitions apply to Tables 3.1,l.d, 3.2.l.d, 3.3.l.d, 3.4.l.d, 3.5. l.d, 3.6. l .d and 3.7.l .d: KEY TERMS AND PARAMETERS DEFINITION Test No. Refer to the definitions applicable to Tables

Jest Type Refer to definitions applicable to Tables 3. 1.1.b through 3.7. l .b. Conditions at 3% The test valve lift position ~nd flow rate were l\ccumu lat ion evaluated at a pressure which was 3% above the valve design set pressure (3% accumulation) during the ;depressurization portion of the steam test transients. The accumulation conditions are pro-vided based on the pressure measured in tank 1 and on the pressure measured in the inlet pipe just upstream of .the safety valve. In each case, the valve lift position and steam flow rate are listed based on the following terms:
% Rated Lift - this value is the lift position of the valve at 3% accumulation and is expressed as a percentage of the valve rated lift; Rated lift is the design lift at which a safety valve attains its rated steam relieving capacity.
% Rated Steam Flow - this value is the steam flow rate through the valve at 3% accumulation expressed as a percentage of the valve rated capacity.
Accumulation data are applicable to high pressur-ization rate steam tests only. Other tests were not designed to produce accumulation above the setpressure. The inlet pipe pressure is corrected for velocity head to approximate the stagnation pressure at the valve inlet and to eliminate the difference due to static head losses in the inlet piping. In some steam tests, the 3% accumulation p1*essure was not achieved and that has been noted in the table. CC1nditions at 6% The definitions for Conditions at 3% Accumulation Accumulation apply except that the valve lift and flow rate data were measured when the inlet pressure was 6~ above the valve design set pressure.
