J NRC BUI.IEITN 8%5 REPORT FOR PIANT VOGTT.E. UNIT 2 EXECUTIVE SUhihiARY In hiay 1988, the NRC issued Bulletin 88-05 regarding alleged falsification of material documentation by two supplie-s of piping materials, West Jersey hianufacturing (WJhi) and Piping Supplies Incorporated (PSI). De b& tin noted that some of these materials bad been furnis 4cd O

to Plant Vogtle. A review of Georgia Powcc documentation verified that materials from these supplicts were installed at Plant Vogtle.

O In Bulletin 88-05, the NRC alleged that some of the material from WJhi/ PSI may not have been in accordance with Code requirements ana required investigation by utilities. In addition to the efforts required of individual udlitics, NUhfARC formed a program to help resolve the issue.

Georgia Power tested all safety related WJhi/ PSI materialinstalled in Vogtle Unit 2 and used the U

results of the NUh! ARC and Vogtle programs to demonstrate that the material meets Code requirements.

O This report outlines the Georgia Power program and describes the test methods used for both the carbon steel and stainless steel materials and the results of these tests. De NUhfARC program established a direct hardness to tensile strength correlation which Georgia Power used to determine the tensi'c strength of the SA 105 material at Plant Vogtle. Georgia Power compared the test O results of the NUhfARC and Vogtle pro;rnns to an AISI report of results of product testing. De comparizon showed that the test results for the WJht/ PSI material at Vogtle are typical for product tests of SA 105 material. The analysis of th: stainless steel material in the NUhfARC and Vogtle programs also demonstrates typical results for product tests of SA 182 Types 304 and 316. His r: port ptovid:s the necessary evidence to show that the WJht, PSI materialinstalled at Plant Vogtle is m compliance with Code requirements.

O DACKGROITND NRC Bulletin RMS On hfay 6,1988, the NRC published and distributed Bulletin 88 05 (see Appendix 1) regarding alleged falsification of documentation for material supplied by WJhl and PSI. De Bulletin C explained that these two suppliers may have falsified the data on Certified hfaterial Test Reports 1

g

)  !

(CMTRs). It stated that some material in nuclear plants may not be as represented on the l associated CMTRs. De Bulletin required each utility to identify materials supplied by WJM and  !

) PSI. It also required each utility to determine that these materials comply with Code requirements or demonstrate suitability for service, or to replace questionable material.

De NRC issued Bulletin 88-05 Supplement 1 on June 15,1988 (see Appendix 2). Supplement

)

i 1 required testing of installed WJM/ PSI materials and reduced the scope of the material concerns l I

j to flanges and fittings. It also required an analysis to justify continued operation of plants for "any l

l deviation from the specification" . Supplement 1 identined that Carolina Power and Light (CP&L) j found substrength (about 45 ksi) 'SA 105' material received from WJM. i On August 3,1988, the NRC issued Bulletin 88 05 Supplement 2 (see Appendix 3). Supplement  !

2 stopped the investigations and testing for operating plants and required plants under construction j to continue their investigations. Supplement 2 resulted from the test data and analyses furnished j to the NRC in the NUMARC Interim Report attached to Supplement 2. Supplement 2 also j added Chews Landing Metal Manufacturers (CLM) as a possible supplier of suspect material. [

L

) ASME Code j l

Vogtle Unit 2 was designed and constructed in acccrdance with the ASME Code,Section III,1974 Edition, Sumrner 1975 Addenda. The Code certincation and stamping has not yet been completed for some piping systems.  ;

i j nc WJM/ PSI material at Vogtle Unit 2 was supplied to N type Certificate Holder:, including Pul! man Power Products and Bechtcl. Pullman and Bechtel purchased the materialin accordance with tiw requircments of NCA 3800. Bechtel had an N. Certificate from ASME, and Pullman had both NA and NPT CertiGeates. NCA 3800 of Section III recuires that Material Suppliers either [

{ be accredited by ASME or qualiGed by the Certincate liolder purchasing and installing the material. For material supplied to Plant Vogtle, the appropriate Certificate liolder qualiGed PSI ,

as a Material Supplict. ASME accredited WJM as a Quality System Certificate lloldct (Material  ;

Manufacturer) after a survey by an ASME Survey Team, ne only Code materials purchased from  !

WJM and PSI for Unit 2 were SA 105 carbon steel and SA 182 Types 304 and 316 stainless steel  :

1 2

l O' l fittings, flanges, and plugs. No CLht material was provided to Plant Vogtle, and no lugs were I purchased from WJM or PSI.

0 l For Plant Vogt!c, Unit 2, Bulletin 88-05 and Supplemess 1 and 2 raise a question whether or not l

WJM/ PSI. supplied material installed in safety.rclated piping systems meets ASME Code i tequirements. Before issuance of the NRC Bulletin, there was no indication that any of the material supplied by WJM/ PSI might not comply with Code requirements. For Vogtle Unit 2, if -

it were established that some installed material does not meet Code, it would have to be replaced i before Code stamping and certification. If, after appropriate insestigation, no non conforming [

O material is found and the Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI) and the Certificate Holders are satisfied, the N Code Symbol Stamp can be applied and the appropriate Code certifications can be  !

completed. [

O Because the material was already installed, an evaluation program that would provide practical f

evidence whether or not the WJM/ PSI material mets Code requirements was needed. To identify substrength material, a screening test to evaluate the tensile strength of the installed material was L required. A n ndestructive test method, using portable equipment, was required to accomplish this O

task. Mcchanical properties are important because the allowabic stresses used in Code ' ign are i based or, tensile and yield strength. Material chemistry is also important, but its primar, tunctions !

are to provide for weldability and acceptable mechanical properties. If a large sample of suspect

O material is checked for ch
mistry and found to be acceptab!c, the primary screening tool sho%t j i be one thet e"ow. estimation of the material tensile strength.

1 j r

! INITTAL VOGTLi! ACTIVITES r

O Georgia Power conducted a documentat i on review for the materialinstalled at Plant Vogtle. De i

! decurnentation review for Vogtle Unit 2 included a review of material records for both diwt and j indirect supply of WJM/ PSI /CLM material in safety related systems. Direct supplied l

jg WJM/ PSI /CLM material included all WJM/PS!/CLM items procured by Georgia Power (or l l installation at Vogtle Unit 2. All of these items were procured under a Georgia Power Purchase Order. De document review by Georgia Power for direct supplied items includes a review of all l

{

procurement orders and related receiving inspection reports and associated CMTR's to identify the f l

jO direct supplied WJM/ PSI /CLM material. Indirect supplied WJM/ PSI /CLM material included all l l

I i a  :

!O ,

O WJhf/ PSI /CLhi material incorporated into prefabricated items such as; piping subassemblics, valves, m pumps, tanks, penetrations and skid mounted items. The document review by Georgia Power for U

indirect supplied items included document revicws by cach supplier of prefabricated items and review by Georgia Power of all document packages received from these suppliers to identify the indirect supplied WJM/ PSI /CLM material.

O Georgia Power determined that Unit 2 had 636 items of installed safety related SA 105 material and 127 items of installed safety.rclated SA 182 stain! css steel material from WJh! or PSI. Georgia Power found no items supplied by CLM.

O In addition to the above activities, Georgia Power joined the NUMARC program addressing Bulletin 88-05. Sh pieces of warehouse material were sent to NUMARC for testing and evaluation.

NUMARC PROGRAM Punne O The nuclear industry response to Bulletin 88-05 was to request NUMARC to begin a generic progcam that included laboraterf testing. The purpose of the NUMARC laboratory test program was as follows:

O 1. Test a representative sample of items to determine whether or not the WJM/ PSI supplied carbon steel materia' has the proper chemistry and rncehanical properties. The utilitics furnished a represenhtive sample of WJM/ PSI material (279 items) for this testing.

2. Test de sarnple of carbon steel items to c@n mat the chenkry b wWn the normal

.g range for product t:sts of SA 105 material If the test resolu for the representative sampic are within the normal rance for SA 105 product tests, the NUMARC program could climinate the need for chemical analysis of materials. Chemistry tests of installed material O are more difficult to obtain because chips or filings from the material are required to determine carbon content.

3. Demonstrate that the use of a portab!c hardness tester (Equotip) is an effective uxal for estimating the strength of carbon steel. This required NUMARC to perform testing to O

'4' O

O establish the proper correlation between the hardness test values and measured tensile strength values from SA 105 product test coopon3.

4. Perform terisite and chemistry tests on representative stainicss steelitems to determine that the materials have the proper chemistry and mechanical properties for Types 304 and 316 materials. The laboratory analyses were to determine whether or not the stain! css steel test 3 results were consistent with the requirements for Types 3(M and 316 stainless stect.
5. Establish a test to distinguish between ferritic or martensitic and austenitic stainless st.ci products.
6. Perform tests to determine whether or not the stainless steel items are sensit:2cd.

D NUhf ARC initial Activitics NUhtARC's Grst activity was to se!cet a portab!c hardness tester. NUhfARC selected the Equotip hardness tester because it can produce reliabic and repeatable results and is small, portable, and casy to use in the Sc!d. NUh! ARC then established a training program for personnel involved in the use of the Equotip tester at each plant. De training included instructions in the use of established procedures. It addressed surface preparation, corrections for instrument orientation, 3 proper support of items during testing, and reporting hardness values. NUhfARC later provided instructions for temperature corrections.

NUhfARC a!so established a cembincJ data base for the NUhfARC laboratory test results.

O separate che<nistry and tensde tc..t results from soma utilitics, and the utility Geld haviness test results.

NUNtAgaNgtory Testinc of SA-105 Carbon Skt;]

J NUhtARC received 276 carbon steel Ganges and Ottings reported by WJhf/ psi to be SA.105 material. These prode:ts were sent to NUh! ARC from warehouse supplies of severai plants, including Vogtle Unit 2. The testing conducted by the NUh! ARC laboratory included chemistry, 9 mechanical properties, including hardness tests, and metallographic analysis. (Only 277 mechanical property tests were performed because two of the 279 items were too small for tensile testing.)

NUMARC laboratory Testine of Stainicss Stect .

t He sample obtained by NUMARC included twenty-four SA 182 stainless steel flanges and one j

.0 piece of SA 240 Type 304 stainless steel plate. Nineteen of these items were Type 304 and six f

were Type 316. NUMARC tested the stainless steel items to verify chemistry, mechanical  :

properties, and absence of sensitization. f

,0 l Numarc Test Results j The results of the NUMARC laboratory testing were presented to the NRC in the NUMARC final  !

report on Bulletin 88 05. For simplicity, those results will not be presented again in this report. [

O The following section, however, provides an analpis of the NUMA- test results, some of which i j repeata information in the NUMARC final report.  ;

l i 1 f j Analysis of NUMARC Test Results for SA 105 Carbon Steel "O

Manufacturers and users of steel have known for many years that the certified results of the tests performed at steelmills vary from the results of subsequent product tests performed on various  !

j items produced from the same heat of material. Remons for variations between mill tests and f g product tests are well understood. Rese variances are due to non homogeneity of the steel, I differences in cooling rates, size and shape of the product, test specimen location and orientation, j degree of product forming, and tne usual variations resulting from different organizations J performing the test:.. f (O  ;

he American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) reported the variations between product test and mill f test results for carbon steel materials at an American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Specialty j

Conference on November 2,1972, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This study was documented two  !

'O years later in an AISI repert,'The Variation of Product Analysis and Tensile Properties Carten l Steel Plates and Wide Flange Shapes, September 1974." A!SI evaluated test results from a large

{

l samp!c of cart:on steel structural plates and shapes and documented differc.nces between product  ;

1 J

g test results a.td mill test results. The study included both chemical analpis and mechanical j property te,t results. The reported data included test results from carbon steel materials with  !

similar chemistry, tensile strength, and product working to SA.105. 3 r

D ne AISI report shows product test variances from the official mill test mechanical properties for i both pbtes and shapes. He results showed that some product test results are lower than the l

O official mill test results. The differences between product tensile test results and mill tensile test j results were as much as 15% for plates and 20% for structural shapes, ne NUMARC results are  !

compared in Table 1 to the results from the AISI tests on structural shapes because the forming I work in SA 105 fianges and fittings is closer to the forming work in structural shapes than to the g ,

rolling work in plates.

Figure 33 of the AISI Report shows tensile strength variances between the mill tests and product l 0 tests in the fiange area of structural shapes. (Figure 33 of the AISI Report is included as Figure 1 for convenience.) Figure 37 shows similar variances for the web area. (Figure 37 of the AISI  !

i Report is included as Figure 2 for convenience.) Dese two figures show that even in the same j l structural shape there are variances between the tensile tests in the web and those in the flange, j O This confirms that tensile test results can vary at different locations within a product. Figures 34 f through 36 and Figures 38 through 40 (not included) show similar variances for yield strength and l clongation. De AISI product tests were conducted on structural shapes with varying tensile y strengths. For evaluation purposes, the cmves to use for tensile strength comparison with SA 105  ;

O

! are in Figures 33 and 37 and are those identified as 'C." The 'C' curves are based on materials (

l with a mill test tensile strength of 70 ksi and higher. This ' the u same as the specified tensile j strength of SA 105. For the set of AISI data with mill test results of over 70 ksi, many of the  :

!O product test results were below 70 ksi, as shown in Table 1. Curves 'A' and "If are based on i materials with a mill test result of less than 70 ksi. Because SA.105 required mill test results of 70 ksi or more, curve 'C' is the proper curve for comparison with SA 105 product test results.

l To provide a useful comparison of the NUMARC hboratory test results with the AISI results in Table 1, a method of norm Jizing the data is needed. Although AISI documented variations from the mill test data, Figure 3 was developed using the average Ir.boratory test tensile strength instead g of relying on the accuracy of the mill test data for the WJM/ PSI material. De average tensile strength of the NUMARC tests for the WJM/ PSI SA 105 materialis 77 ksi. His average strength is used as the normalizing factor to compare the distribution of the NUMARC tensile test results to the AISI product test data, ne tensile strength distribution of the NUMARC laboratory tests O is comparable to the AISI test results for material of similar che nistry and tensile strength to that

i O

l of SA.105. This correlation provides strong evidence that the WJhi/ PSI material tested by h NUhfARC meets the requirements of SA 105.

N [

The use of the AISI data raises an issue of whether or not this comparison is appropriate for

f pressure retaining material and whether or not it has ever been used for comparison of product

] (

!g tests and mill tests for material similar to SA.105. Such a comparison has been made for the NRC f

l using the AISI data and is shovm in Appendix A of NUREG/CR.2137, ' Realistic Scismic Design j htargins of Pumps, Valves, and Piping," prepared by E.C. Rodabaugh and K.D. Desaiin June 1981 i

(

j (see Appendix 4). De NUREG acknowledges that product test tensile strength results will have 40 a bell shaped distribution, and that some of the results from acceptable material may be less than l

(

the specified minimum tensile strength of the applicable material specification, j i i The Equotip test results from the NUhiARC laboratory tests, shown in Figuie 4, have a typical bell shape, ranging from 347 I, to 469 Lo. De corresponding NUMARC tensile test results,

-! shown in Figure 3, range from 61 ksi to 101 ksi, and have the same typical bell shape, with 12re [

s l of the product test results below 70 ksi. Dere was no substrength (about 45 ksi) material in the sample tested by NUhfARC. nc NUhfARC sample of 277 items included blind Danges.

LO s L j ne chemical elements most suited to verifymg strength and weldability of SA.105 are carbon (C) l

and manganese (htn). The ma.timum carbon content for SA.105 is 035%. Of the 279 product

{O tests taken, one showed a carbon centent of 036te. All others met the 035% limit. %c current  !

i

! SA.105 specification limit for manganese is from 0.60% to 1.03rc. However, the speciGcation i t l l allows the maximum mangancsc content to be increased to 1.33re as the maximum carbon content j j is correspondingly reduced to 0.30re (+0.06te h!n for each 0.01% C reduction). All items met the l

O i i 1.35G limit for manganese. T.xcept the above mentioned item with 036fe carbon (which is within  ;

I the normal accuracy of testing) there were no test results between 1.0$re hin and 1J5% hin for l f 1 which the carbon content cxceeded the adjusted maimum value. Although SA 105 allows a I

1 O P' d'C5'""'I "C" I U 04f' f r manganese, there are seven items (3re) that tested lower than l 0.56%, 'Ihsc seven items had manganese test results of 030re and higher, which meets the SA.105 requirements before the Summer 1973 Addenda. (Some of the utilities furnishing material l l to NUhfARC have plants constructed to Editions and Addenda of the .'M Code earlier than l

t% date.) Five of the tested items had slight variances in silicon and sulfur which may be  !

l attributed to product non homogencity.  !

,0 i The AISI Report indicates ' hat the NUMARC laboratory tensile test and chemical analpis results f I are typical of product tests for SA 105 Code material. His provides evidence that the material l

tested meets Code requirements. Because the laboratory sample was representative of the overall j

] population of the WJM/ PSI material, there is very strong evidence that the installed msterials that  ;

j pass the hardness screening test also meet Code requirements for chemistry. f

O Correlation of Enuotin Hardncas to Tensile Stieneth  !

1 t

j The use of hardness testing to show compliance of installed material with Code requirements depends on having an appropriate correlation of hardness to tensile strength. NUMARC was able l

{ to provide this correlation based on the laboratory testing of the 277 items supplied by the utilities.  !

lO When NUMARC first advised the utilities to use the Equotip tester for evaluating installed f l material, they suggested using the Equotip manufacturer's conversion of Equotip hardness (L3 ) to Brinell hardness. The utilities used this Equotip to Brincl! correlation for reporting test results to j NUMARC and the NRC. NUMARC also suggested that the converted Brinell readings be f0 converted to tensile strengths using A370, because tio documented direct conversion from Equotip l 1

l hardness to tensile strength could be found. It later became obvious that this double conversion j l Introduces deviations that produce inaccurate and ex:ra. conservative results. The NUMARC ,

IO testing ihowed that the use of the doubic convera!an would have resulted in the rejection of many lt 1

j pieces of material with tensi!c te*t results as high as 92 ksi based on tt e NUMARC laboratory '

j tensile test results. Therefore, NUMARC cencluded that the double conversion using A370 was

{

, inaccura:e and inappropriate for this situation. Also, the direct conversien is appropriarc because l the data used for developing the correlation eme from the same material specif;catiom grade, and l produe; form as the material being evaluated. l I

J 1 The decision to develop a direct correlation was based on the Equotip manual, paragraph 9.2, lO which states,  !

I "ne conversion deviation is the variance resulting from the comparison of O measuring values observed with different hardness testing methods, it includes 2

l J l i i 9 j lO  ;

J i <

I L

O components. The major share is caused by the fact that there is no clear phpical relationship between the various methods. The second component results from the

O circumstance that the comparison of hardness values (e.g. L-value and Brinell) also includes the measuring deviation of the method being compared to.

hefore, a conwnion betwren hardness values contains inaccumcies fan the

'O cutset. This applies not only to conversion of the L value into static indentation hardness values, but also for ecnverting from one static hardness measuring method to another."

O ne Equotip manual states that the correlations between Equotip hardness and other hardnesses were developed using the least squares method of non linear regres:fon. N1' MARC, however developed the direct conversion correlation using a least squares linear regression. The equation for the linear regression is: tensile strength (psi) = 265 Lo 29.S00. The equation for a second order regression is: tensile strength (psi) = 12,S00 + 53.5 Lo + 0.260 Lo. In the range of 8

interest, the difference between these two equations is insignificant, and at the lower end of the

'O rang the linear correlation selected by NUMARC is more conservative (see Figure 5).

To assess the validity of the direct correlation, comparisons are rnade to the data in the Equotip manual (see Appendix 5) and the ASM Metals Handbcok,8th Edition, Volume 11,' Nondestructive O Inspection nd Quality Control' (see Appendix 6). The Equotip manual states. "The conversion i deviaticus ( llB 1HV, etc.) indicated in the 'conversien tabics' represent ' standard deviathns',

i.e.,6SG of ail materials tested to date fell within the specified variance range." For the haroness !

range of interest,340 Lu ta 480 L the Equotip manual indicates that the standard deviation is 3

i O

15 Le, Ansipis of the NUMARC laboratory data shows that about 73% of the data are within

a tolerance band of 215 Lo, consistent with the variations documented in the Equo'io manual.

. De ASM Manual states, 'E.stimates of tensile strength from hardncu can be made within about 1

jg 25000 psi, although errors as great as 12,000 psi may be encountered.' The two bands of 25000 i psi and 212,000 psi are also shown in Figure 6. 'the results show that sicc of the data are within the 25000 psi variance and 99fe are within the 212,000 psi variance. This confirms that the Jirect

{

1 Equotip hardness to. tensile strength conversion is appropriate for this material.

.Q(ility Field Hardness Tests  !

! ne utilities participating in the NUhtARC program performed field hardness tests on installed  !

.O WJhi/ PSI material and sent the results to NUbiARC for the industry data base. ne field

hardness readings were almost all taken with the Equotip tester. Figure 7 shows the distribution i of this data. De tensile strengths shown are ecoverted from hardness readings, ne average j

,o tensile strength of this data (converted from Equotip) is 80 ksi. Comparison of this data with the l NUMARC laboratory data shown in Figure 3 shows the material is comparable except for some substrength blind Danges with converted tensile strengths less than 60 ksi, j i

O The substrength items identified by the utilities were all blind flanges. No hollow forgings or  ;

{ fittings, tested either in the field or in the NUMARC laboratory, were substrength. All of the ,

I substrength blind Danges had tensile strength and chemistry similar to the CP&L blind Danges.

Metallurgical tests showed that plate material was substituted for forgings in the substrength blind 1 Danges. {

l i t l Although chemistry tests were made on low hardnest er low strength b!ind flanges, the Equotip 1

tester was capable of identifying substrength material, nis information provided the NUMARC  :

iO program with three very important conclusions:

i

1. The substrength material is apparer.tly limited to blind Danges.

O 2. All WJM&SI supplied hollow forgings (Danges, littings. and couplings) and plugs appear to be SA 105 material.  !

3. Equotip hardness testing is capabic of identifying substrength material.

O j Utility Laboratory Testinn

j. In addition to field hardness testing some utilities sent samples to independent laboratories for l chemical analysis and/or tensile testing. As shown in the NUMARC report, the results of these  !'

i lO tests were consistent w'th the results of the NUMARC laboratory tests.

l Y_QQ1LE_UNITIEROGRAM l O * "*ti' ^' *i" l Upon receipt of the NRC Bulletin, Georgia Power began reviewing the Vogtle records to identify  !

material received from WJM or PSI. Having identified material from WJM and PSI, Georgia f Power proceeded to determine the acceptability of these items. Georgia Power taed data, results, i O and recommendations from the NUMARC program, and published industry data, for their  !

t evaluation. Georgia Power also tested each piece of safety related WJM/ PSI material installed in l Unit 2 and evaluated the results, nis section describes the testing and evaluation phases of the O

Vogtle Unit 2 program. [

Georgia Power developed a program to investigate the WJM&SI maten .d evaluate the results.

I De purpose of the program was to identify any renterial that might be questionable regarding [

O C de compliance. De investigation was to assure that there is no unacceptable material installed jL in sny safety related piping system. De Vogtle Unit 2 program required testing of each piece of l ins:alled safety related WJM/ PSI material. De program was not to upgrade or recertify any l material in accordance with NCA 3800. It was only to screen out any material not meeting the f O ASME Code requirements.  !

i Georgis Power sent persont.cl to the NUMARC Equotip training course. Site personnel invohrd (

i in hardness testing were trained in the use of the Equotip tester. The Georgia Power '.esting O

pregram included separate tests for carbon steel and stainless steel. De testing of WJM/ PSI carbon steel consisted of hardness testing and some chemica' analyses. ne stainless steel was tested with magnets, along with some metallographic and spectrographic analyses. ,

O ,

Carton Stect Testina j The 636 pieces of installed safety related WJM/ PSI SA.105 material were tested with the Equotip (

hardness tester. De estimated tensile strength of each piece was calculated using the NUMARC i O direct correlation. He results of these tests show an average tensile strength of about 77 ksi.

consistent with the average tensile strength of 77 ksi for the NUMARC laboratory specimens. His similarity of the Vogt!c material and se NUhiARC laboratory material is not surprising because

,O both sets of data represent WJM/ PSI supplied material. Table 1 shows that 5.5% of the WJM/ PSI material would have a product tensile test result of 69 ksi or less, similar to the NUMARC lab test results and consistent with the results of the AISI study.

O nis comparison of the NUMARC and Vogtle test data with the AISI results shows that the installed Vogtle tnaterial has the same physical characteristics, based on hardness test results ccaverted to tensile strength, as the NUMARC laboratory tested material, which has physical O properties and chemistry consistent with the normal results for product tests of SA 105. De Vogtle analysis includes comparisons with the AISI test results from both the flange and web areas I

of structural shapes (see Table 1). Figure 8 shows the typical bell shaped distribution of the converted tensile strength data. These results are directly comparable to Figure 3, which illustrates O the NUMARC laboratory test results.

Ilardnese. Tats of Non-WJM/ PSI-Sunnlied Material O Ge rgia Power tested 70 heats of non WJM/ PSI supplied SA 105 material with an Equotip tester,  !

The material consisted of flanges and fittings similar to the WJM/ PSI material, but manufactured by Taylor Forge, Capito!, Tube Turns, WF1, Coffer, and I.enape Forge, and supplied by organizations other than WJM/ PSI. De heats and items were chosen by randomly selec'ing O CMTRs from the Vogtle files. Substitutions of heats were made when the selected heats of l material were inaccessible in the field. Figure 9 shows the distribution of this data for the non-WJM/ PSI items. De tensile strengths shown are converted from hardnen readings. His histogram is similar in shape to the tensile test histogram for the WJMz?SI material, n e test  ;

O results of the WJM/ PSI material are similar to SA 105 material which is not questioned by the l NRC with regard to Code compliance. )

l O Chemi#"I ^""'"i" "I C"'h"" 8'ect ne NUMARC laboratory test results provide evidence that materials that pass the hardness i screening test meet Code req 2irements. De ficid tests perforn-d by other utiiities demonstrate that hardness testing with the Equotip tester can screen out substrength material. The NUMARC O pro;. ram has not found any material that passed the hardness test but failed a chemical analysis.

'O j Georgia Power performed chemical analyses on 68 of 90 heats of WJht/ PSI materials installed in O safety related piping systems in Vogtle Unit 2. The chemical analyses included random samples, tests of all blind flanges, and tests of each heat of matenal with any hardness test results below 398 Lo. (According to an early verdon of the Equotip manual,398 4 corresponds to BHN 137.

g Equotip currently equates 398 Lo to BHN 140.) Whenever a chemical analpis was performed on j more than one samp!c from any heat, the multiple results from that heat were averaged to obtain a single value for each heat. De results were averaged to avoid weighting the distribution toward the most frequently tested heats. Table 2 shows the Vogtle Unit 2 chernistry results by heat, j lO Figures 10 and 11 show the distribution of carbon and manganese in the Vogtle Unit 2 samples.

All of the analpes fell within the chemistry limits of SA.105, except for a few low manganese results. De Vogtle chemistry results are consistent with the NUhtARC laboratory test results.

jO SA.m2 stainless sicel Testine A very small percentage of the WJht/ PSI material furnished to Vogtle was stainless steel, ne testing of stainless steel material cc Azd of testing each piece with a simple magnetic test to venfy that the material was austenitic stainless steel. Georgia Power subjected one item from O

j almost every heat of material at Vogtle Unit 2 to the following two tests:

j 1. Surface replication was performed to assure that the material was in the solution annealed ,

condition and not sensitized.

lO

2. The Texas Nuclear Alloy Analyzer wa. used to assure that the material was Type 304 or

]

356, as applicable.

Chemical analpis and sensitization tests were performed on each piece of WJht/ PSI supplied stainless steel material installed in Class 1 piping sptems and on all heats of WJht/ PSI. supplied s

Class 2 and 3 stainless steel, with the following two exceptions. After the Alloy Analyzer was l removed from the Vogtle site, Georgia Power discovered seven Class 1 gamma plugs and thirteen

]O 1 Class 3 flanges that had not been subjected to the chemistry and sensitization tests. He seven

) Class 1 gammr. plugs are no larger than NPS 3/4. He thirteen Class 3 items were 14 ini:h and 18 l inch flanges, all from one heat. nese twenty items were subjected to only the magnetic test.

!O  :

{O

O The results of these tests showed that all stainless steel materials are within the limits of the material specifications. Georgit Power performed enough chemistry, replication, and magnetic tests 3 to verify that all WJhi/ PSI staitless steel material at Vogtle Unit 2 meets Code requirements.

l l

SUMAfARY

, Based on an evaluation of the AI3I study, product tensile test results of more than 10-20% lower m) '

than the specified minimum tensik strength could be obtained for a few items. The AISI results show that material with a certified tensile strength of 77 ksi will have some product test results (0.5% for flanges,0.S% for webs) at or below 63 ksi. The Equatip hardness value corresponding D to a tensile strength of 63 ksi is 350 Lo.

All of the product test results of WJhiNSI material at Vogtle 2 exceed a ennverted tensile strength of about 63 ksi, and the distribution is similar to the AISI data. Therefore, the esidence indicates O that none of the WJM/ PSI SA 105 carbor' steel material at Vogtle is discrepant The hardness test results from non WJM/ PSI material are si.nitar to the results of the WJMiPSI material, prosiding further esidence that the WJMsPSI materi:.1 is SA 105.

O ASME CODE COMPI..TANCE Georgia Power kept the Authorized Nuclear Inspectors (ANIS) fully informed of the status of the Georgia Power and NUhtARC programs. ney also informed the Authonzed Inspection Agency, O Ilartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, of the results of the Vogtle Program.

Georgia Power met with Mr. Iloward F. Dobel, Vice President. Mr. William liigginbotham, and Mr. Barry Bobo of liartford, and Mr. Earl Escrett, Chief Safety Engineer for the State of Georgia on August 18,1988.

O After the presentation, Mr. Dobel stated that he had consulted with the ANIS at the plant, who were convinced that Code requirements have been met at Vogtle Unit 2. Appendix 7 is the g llattford !etter confirming this conc!mion. Mr. Everett also agreed that Code requirements had been met. Ile too sent a le ter to Georgia Power to this effect (see Appendix S). On the basis of the liartford letter, and ne fact that the AN s are satistled that Code rcquirements have been met with regard to the WJM PSI material, the piping sptems at Vogtle Unit 2 will be Code-O stamped and certified.

O

O On September 9,19S8, Georgia Power explained the Vogtle Unit 2 status of Code stamping and the results of the meeting with Hartford and the State of Georgia to the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. The National Board agreed that this action settled the issue of Code compliance for Plant Vogtle.

O CONCLUSION Georgia Power has completed the Vogtle testing program, and has shown the material e" compliance with Code requirements. Dere are no substrength blind Danges installen 1 ,; fey, O related systems at Vogtle Unit 2. nere is no need for additional engineering evaluatior i n . 4e all Code requirements are satisGed for WJM/ PSI material installed in Vogtle Unit 2. Bs -

tir:

WJM/ PSI material complies with the ASME Code requirements, the issue raised by Bullett  %$

is resolved.

Oeseription of Cireurstances:

I l The NRC has obtained copies of certified material test reports (CMTRs) for I material supplied b FS  !

produced steel for these falsified CMTRs. The informatier available to date  !

indicates that WJM started supplying ASPE Code cerperents to the nuclear t incustry in 1976, both directly as well as through interrediari/s, and that  !

All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power -

reactors. ,

Purpose:

The purpose of this supplement is to 1) provide additional information con-cerning material supplied by Piping Sup Jersey Manufacturing Company (WJM), reduce2)the plies, scopeIncorporated (PSI) and West of the requested materials review to only flanges and fittings, 3) delineate actions licensees are requested to take to identify these materials and to determine whether O the materials comply with ASME and ASTM design and material specifications, and 4) clarify what actions licensees are requested to take once they identify material that does not comply with the above material specifications.

Description of Circumstances:

O On June 10. 1988 the NRC staff was informed by Carolina Power & Light (CP&L) that the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant had tested two flanges from their ware-house that had been supplied by WJM. The two flanges were identified as betonging to Heat No. 7218, SA-105 material. The CP&L test results did not match those reported on NJM's Certified Material Test Reports (CMTRs) and did not meet the tensile ed yield strength requirements for SA-105 caterial.

.O Required minimum tensile stren]th is 70 KSI whereas the measured tensile strengths were 45 KS! and 46 X:1 The tensiie strength reported on the CMTR was 77 KSI. Required mininum yie'd strength is 36 KSI whereas the measured yield strengtL were 27 KSI and 31 C . The yield strength reported on the CMTR was 50 KSI. Measured chemistry composition was also out of specification.

n tably percent carbon was very low at 0.045 and manganese was measured at 0.32 O (required range 0.6 to 1.05).

Bulletin 88-05 requires that all PSI and WJM supplied material be identified and that a determination be made as to its suitability for the intended or

" actual application. This supplernnt narrows the scope of rnview from ASME and ASTM "materials" to ASME and ASTP fittings and flanges. In view of the recent verification that flanges which do not comply with ASME and ASTM speci-fications have been supplied to the nuclear industry, the time frames for certain actions are also modified by this supplerert.

g tctions Requested:

The actions requested in Rulletin 88-05 remain in effect with the followirg additions:

1. Review of purchasing records may be reduced in scope from ASMF and g' ASTM "naterials" to ASME and ASTM "fittings and fijnges" and the review should be initiated and ccrpleted promptly.
2. The scope of paracraph 2 of Bulletin 88-05 is reduced frcn ASME and ASTM "materials" to ASME and ASTM "flanges and fittings." All other provisions of paragraph 2 of Bulletin 88-05 remain in effect.

q

3. The scope of paragraph 3 of Bulletin 88-05 is reduced from ASME and ASTM "materials" to ASME and ASTM "flanges and fittings." For ASME and ASTM flanges and fittings furnished by PSI or WJM already installed in safety-related systens in operating plants, the following actions are requested:

O a. Ccr.mence appropriate testing of accessible flanges and fittings promptly to identify conformance of materials to ASME and ASTM materid specifications. Test results for flanges and fittings reported to be from the same heat should be ccmpared for consist-ency and for conformance to the ASME/ ASTM specifications and to values listed on material CMTPs. Any deviation fram the specifi-O cation requires an appropriate analysis justifying continued ope ra tion,

b. If any inaccessible flanges or fittings are identi'ied, an analysis rust be perfor ed justifying continued operation.

O c. All other provisions of paragraph 3 of Bulletin P8-05 remain in effect.

4 r or flanges and fittiros already identified as having been supolied by PSI or WJM, the actions requested in 3a and 3b above are to be completed within 30 days of receipt of this supplement. For flanges and fittings identified after receipt of this supplement, the actions requested in 3a O ard 30 above are to be completed within 30 days of identifying the flanges or fittings as being supplied by PSI and WJM.

If Based on the discovery by CPAL of nonconforming flanges and on NRC review 0 of records of WJM's production of numerous flanges purportedly from Heat No. 7218, licensees should scecifically be alert to identify records for flarges frcm Heat No. 7210.

) 5. Addressees are requested to retain nonconforming materials until advised further by the NRC. Nonconforming naterials should be segregated to ensure that they are not inadvertently used.

6. Addressees are encouraged to report the results of tests of PSI and WJM supplici flanges and fittings to the INP0 Nuclear Network for dissemi-

) nation to the industry.

Reporting Reauirements:

The reporting requirements of Bulletin 08-05 remain in effect with the following additions:

) 1. The NRC Operations Center should be notified by telephene, 202-951-0550, of the need for analysis to justify continued operation as required in para-graphs 3a and 3b. Where the need for analysis to justify ccntinued operation results in a requirement for c report under 10 CFR 50.7?, the notification to the Operations Center should be in accordance with the reporting times re-

)

qui red t'y 10 CFR 50. 72. If the need for analysis to justify continued operation would not result ia a requirement for a report under 10 CFR 50.7?,

Description of Circumstances:

o On July 22. 1906, the NRC staf f met with representatives of the Nuclear Manage-V ment and Resources Counc11 (NUPlaRC) to discuss the status of licensees' actions l

in response to Bulletin 86 05 and Supplement 1. During this meetirs. huMARC

! presented informaticn on licensee and NUMAEC/ Electric Pcwer Research Institute l

(EPRI) testing and evaluation methodology of PSl/WJM flanges. This inferrration i

was surrearized in a letter to the NRC from NUF14AC dateo July 25, 1988 and a detailed report and proposal was subsequently sutrritted on July 29, 1988 lO

(Attachment 1).

Based cn the reportec n.easurerrent and analytical results to date, the NRC has concluded that for full power licensets it is apprcpriate to suspend, terrc-rarily, the field treasurements , testing, records revio, and the preparation of ,)ustifications for continued operatiens (JCOs) that were requested b/ Bul-O ietin 88 05 and Supplement 1 until further notice. Addressees that have not received a full pcwer license are requested to contirue the in situ testing and the records review. The time frames of interest remain as specified in the original Bulletin, January 1. 1976 to present.

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation i U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission i Washington, O. C. 20555

)

Dear Mr. Martin:

In a meeting held July 22 with NRC, NUMARC requested that utility activities relative to NRC Bulletin 88 05 and Supplement 1 be suspended.

This suspension request was based on a generic analysis provided to NRC by NUMARC's letter of July 22. In the subject NRC meeting, NUMARC also presented an analysis of utility and laboratory test data obtained to date. NUMARC's letter of July 25 to Dr. Thomas Murley formalized the request for suspension.

In that letter, NUMARC committed to provide a written report to NRC reflecting i

the test data and conclusions presented in the July 22 meeting, and providing quantitative statistical evaluations relative to the conclusions presented at this meeting. That report is hereby provided as an attachment.

)

l As noted previously, the NUMARC laboratory testing program will be carried l to completion even if utility test efforts are suspended. An update of the l attached report will be provided addressing conclusion of the NUMARC laboratory I

testing program as well as inclusion of field test data not yet reflected.

We would like to reiterate the importance of timely action in your consideration of NUMARC's request for suspension. Utility resource expenditures of major proportions are presently continuing without abatement.

Continuation of testing is not resource effective and, as documented in the attachment, would not be expected to result in additional insights. Moreover, in conjunction with the generic analysis previously provided, the attachment substantiates that no significant public health and safety concern is

. represented by this issue.

] ABSTPACI The NRC Bulletin 88-05 addressed the alleged f alsification of Certified Materials Test Reports (CMTRs) by two suppliers, VJM and PS1, of piping O flanges and fittings. WMARC, through the technical e.anagement o f E PR1, developed a multifaceted program to assist utilitie in addressing this bulletin. Laboratory testing of suspect material, the coepilation of utility test data and analysis of that data are reported. Dese data show in general that, except for blind flanges, the suspect material meets tensile strength requirements and is satisf actory for ASMT Code applica tions. W e hardness g testing result s for the same esterials cxhibit a broad scatter band which would justify application of a testing tolerance band in comparison to the AS3 A370 conversion free hardnes a to tensile strength, ne field and laboratory testing results both exhibit the saee broad scatter band. A laboratory generated best fit curve is used te relate raessured field hardnes s to tensile strength.

found in laboratory tests, and follows the same general bell shape hardnes e distribution as laboratory hardness tests. B e sinitarity in shapes and the lack of bumps at either the low ends or the high ends of these laboratory and field histograms indicates that there is not a concern for low strenguh material or high strength material. Applying a best fit approach frots U, laboratory hardness and tensile data to field hardness data results in an e s tied t e o f strength. Be best fit approach to the field data indicates that the vast majority are acceptable. Based on the laboratory testing and extensive field testing, it is concluded there is no esterials problem, except possibly for so=e blind flanges.

'O slind flanges and other components were addressed analytically in the wxARC generic analysis report, and it was shown that in the e.ajority of cases there would not be a stress contern even if strength in the order of 40 KSI were to be assumed.

B is interim report concludes that ths material has acceptable strength and O except fer se== blind flantes is satisf actory for ASME Code application'- Th '

continued use of these flanges and fittings does not present a safety probles.

Recomendations are made for follow up activities.

I NTRODUCTION BACXCROUND D e NRC issued Bulletin 88-05 regarding alleged falsificat ion of Certified Materials Test Reports (CMTRs) by West Jersey Manuf acturing Co. (WJM) and Piping Systems. Inc. (PSI). Specific actions were required of utilities. Some y of these could ef ficiently be addressed by a generic program. NtHARC initiated

/ such a program. h e NRC issued Supplement 1 to 88-05 subsequent to reports of l

two blind flanges having low tensile strength. The supplement required l utilities to perform field tests on identified installed WJM/ PSI items. he supplement also focused ef fort on pipirg flanges and fittings. he NtHARC j program was modified to coordinate and standardige field testing methods and to I

compile utility generated data. Concurrently, the generic NLHARC laboratory

) testing program has been in progress.

i I NtHARC HUl,TIPACETED PROGRAM Because several actions were required by 88-05 which could be ef ficiently I addressed in a generic manner, NtHARC undertook the activities described herein

The testing program is described in the following sections of this report.

NUMARC TISTING FR0 CRAW METHODS [

This program contains two main elements: first, comprehensive laboratory [

testing of suspect itemi centributed by utilities; and second, utility  !

generated data of destructive laboratory tests and in situ tests of installed f suspect itees.

I J n s 5- -t-

O NL? ARC laboratory test methods follow ASTM standards for tensile testing to produce values for UTS, YS tEl and IRA. Tensile strength correlations were developed based upon Equotip testing. Chemical analysis utilizes O spectrographic analysis and portable x-ray fluorescence analysis methods. All laboratory testing equipment is calibrated to appropriate standaros.

Utility test data of installed items or warehouse items has principally been portable hardness testing by means of the Equotip device. Other hardness test devices may also have been used in a few instances. The basis for selaction of O hardness test methods and the NLPARC training / coordination have been describec previously.

Ter austenitic stairless steel items, the principle tests method has been a si ple magnetic check. Some alley analysis and replication metallography have been perfor ed.

O Te the extent that utilities have contributed laboratory test data, these data ha s been accepted. These data are being reviewed for consistency and 'rrers.

O cont ribut e d by utilities.

To date. the utilities have provided data regarding 1334 field hardness test items and 103 tensile results. ~he results are discussed in the follewing analvsis. The actual amount of data used in this report is indicated on the pl:t s :r charts. No all data is in the computer data base.

NNARC nas provided the NRC with computer discs and printouts as of 7/19/33.

Some additional copie s were provided during the July 20, 1998 eeeting.

ANALYS!S O LA3CFATORY TESTIN0 All tensile test results exceed 70 XSI or are within the anticipated tolerance band. Figure 1 shews a histogra:n of laboratory tensile results. In general, field tests were perfor ed with EQ"0!!P testers and the data converted to SHN.

Fo r rea s of,s dis cu s sed below, EQUCTIP values are used in this report.

O Figure 2 shows a plot of laboratory tensile results and EQUOT!P hardness ex;tessed as BHN data. Almost all the hardness data points f all at or below the A37H A3 70 SHN tensile conversion line, indicating that this is a conservative approach, and that a test tolerance f actor is required to avoid inappropriate rejection of acceptable material by field hardness test methods.

!! is apparent that the 3HN tensile conversion approach is no longer g

.s;prorriste f:r this application.

E OUOTIP-TIN SILE CCWER SION Anetner mere accurate a;proach to assess the field hardness data is to develop 5est fit line for the lateratory hardnes s using the original E?UOT!P (also O nferred to as te,b val 2eo snd tensile data. Th a t tine, sh m in rigure 3,

This data peint is not yet in the co p.ter printcut. Other than this, no substrength ca:erial has been reportec based on tensile tests. These utilities have re;;rted tensile strength fer 108 iters. Eight ite-o slightly belew 70 KS! have been reper:ev. "he re aining 101 value e exceed 70 X51. In ene case the utility engineer indicated there was a subsiae specimen removed fron

{3 installed flange and was transverse : the pri;ary variing direction rather than parallel. These slightly lov valuee are readily explained by the test directien, and by published data which c:nfires that tensile test results from product testing cay be as each as 10 percent below the Tinieur specified attength. N:ne of :hese utili:ies reported strength values are a concern.

C) The utility generated hardnesa data is sheve in the histogram of Figure 5.

This histegram has the sa-e general bell shape as the histogram of laberstory hardnesa data. In si ple terrs, the bell shapea in b:th laboratory and field histogree.s and the la:k cf bu ps a: the lew hardness ends of the histogra-s l

indicates that there is net a concern for low strength PJterial. This me an s that the vast eajority of field iters would exceed 70 KSI if tested and that 13 the re=sinder would be within the expe:ted t:1eran:e band. The con:lusien is

! that installed ite-s are acceptable and de not present a material concern, i excep: for ::me blind flar.ges.

,, there are objective reasons to use as is. The benefits of replacing installed iJ high hardness items with acceptatle velds and RAZ are minimal. In contrast, the risks in any replacement are greater. The ALARA considerations also indicate that high hardness items not be replaced unless there is a plant unique overriding concern.

STAINLESS STEEL O

There is a relatively small amount of stainless steel installed, and very little in warehouses. To date, all tests performed on stainless steel have been acceptable. Approximately four dozen items have been tested. All tensile results are acceptable, all chemical analyses are acceptable and all sensitization tests are acceptable. Approximately 10 dozen magnetic checks

() were also acceptable. Only one of all these test results is slightly low; that is, one yield strcngth value was 23.5 X51 vs. 30.0 KSI, and this difference is insignificant. These tests are su:aarized in Table 2.

While the absolute number of test results is not as great as for carbon steel, the results indicate there is no concern.

n CONCLUSIONS The strength of SA 105 material and stainless steel items which were suspect is i not a concern.

R E CO MMINDATIONS

1. D3e test results to date indicate there is no concern for materials and thus field testing may be suspended as there is suf ficient data for evaluation.

The generic stress analysis also indicates there is no concern for

() plausible low strength materials because it has been shown that even if substrength materials were installed, the vast majority of these cases i vould be acceptable. Th u s , i t is appropriate to suspend document reviews and field testing.  !

i

2. The laboratory program should be completed subje:t to constraints of

() available material.

3. The existing utility generated data shou'd be compiled and analyzed in the l NtHA RC p ro g ram .

I 4 A sunnary report should be generated.

STATISTICAL DATA Ott ULTIPATi AtiD ,C- YIELD TENSILE PROPERTIES W HOT F Iti!SHED CARB0tl STEEL PATERIALS Seismic f43rgin, based on stresses, is defined herein as S A/Cc, where Ig fj SA = allowable stress, and oc = calculated stress. Al'lowable Stress S A f- is established as a fraction of Sy or Su (See Table 1), where Sy and Su are minimum or minimum expected yield strengths and ultimate tensile strengths, respectively. We have defined and tt.bulated f(ominal tiargins in 3 . terms of the minimums of Sy and Su, However, it is inform 3tive to examine the distribution of tensile properties so as to estimate the average and probability of obtaining lower-than-average or lower-than-minimum tensile p rope rt i es. D Statistical data on the type of steels ordinarily used for pumps, valves and piping and their supports are quite sparse. Data in available published documents (References [ 1] and [ 2]) were not sufficient for our purpose. We , requested and obtained data from J. R. F arr of Babcock and Wilcox Co. ll and we wish to express our appreciation for that data. l Data Base and Evaluation 3 Directly relevant data are those on materials purchased to either an SA-Specification or an A-Specification. The SA indicates an ASME Code mate-rial specification. The A indicates an ASTM material specification; these are , usually identical to corresponding SA-Specifications. F or our purpose, the a specification must include specified minimum strengths so that comparisons of average strengths with mininum specified strengths can be made and' estimates of the probability of having material with strengths less than the minimum , specified can be made.

Figure A2 shows the distribution of strengths for A106 8 material. Figure A3 h shows the distribution of ultimate tensile strength of A299 material, as an example of the ef fect of both minimum and maximum limits. These distributions
are quite erratic as compared to that shown in Figure A1; this is presumably due to the relatively small number of samples available for F igures A2 and A3 (s100) as contrasted to the approximately 900 samples for F igure A1. F urther, there is some evidence of the effect of the limits; particularly for the minimum Su for A299 material. Nevertheless, the distribution is reasonably O ,

close to "normal", and we assume that distribution in our evaluations. 6: note that if "heat" strength properties are less than specified minimums, the material (by definition) is not the specified material. Such material is O culled out by the manufacturer and used for some other purpose; e.g., material that does not meet A106-8 may be sold as A106-A. However, even assuming this culling process is 100 percent ef fective, there still remains some possibility that a particular piece of material purchased to an SA- or A-Specification O will have strengths less than specified minimums. The reason, of course, is that the "heat" sample represents a sample from what usually is a large amount of material in the form of plates, bars, forgings or pipe. The question arises: Given the "heat strengths, what can be expected if one new cuts O samples from various portions of the products? Reference [ ?] addresses that question. Reference [ 2] gives data on: 'O (1) "Of ficial Tests", the equivalent of "heat" tests, and , l (2) Dif ferences between the "Of ficial Tests" and tests on' l coupons cut from the product with that particular "Of ficial O Test".

Accordingly, they are not directly applicable to materials to O SA< or A-Specifications. However, they give the best available indication of the "below-specified-strength" aspect. The data, pertinent to our evaluation are summarized in Table A2. O Three groups of tes,ts were run: / (1)50/18: Carbon Steel Plates (2)5U/20: Variation With1'n As. Rolled Plates (3) Carbon Steel and HSLA Wide Flange Sections o , , Reference [ 23 reports on trends such as variation with strength level, plate thickness, exact location t'n wide flange sections, and 'so forth. However, we are using this data as representative of the types of SA- and A-Specification } O steels listed in Table A1. Accordingly, we have shewn results for the entire groups and have used the averages of the standard deviations to estimate probabilities of strengths at or below minimum specified. O Reference [ 23 implies that the differer.ces were not "normally" distributed. However, by using the "normal" distribution assump?. ions, we obtain quite close agreement with their final results. Accordingly, the distribution must be . fairly close t "normal" and we have assumed that distribution. The proba- - O bility of strengths at or below a constant, k, times the minimum specified strength, 5 5, was obtained by: ~ ~ O 1 -(($3- S)/(.'T2))2 . Fr(S < kS,) = f ye d5 x Pr(S h *S) p (A3) J S,- where Ss = minimum specified strength and Pr(S h p*S ) is the probability O that the heat strength is less than the product strength.

2. EQUOTIP Hardness Ttstar i The EQUOTIP hardness tester is designed for testing metallic materials thO hardness of which rangas from very low to very high values, Hardness

) testing can be performod directly on site and in any position, Typical applications for the EQUOTIP instrument are large, heavy workpieces a which are difficult to access. It is espticially suitable for applications in which static hardness testing is either not feasible or not donomical. l 2.1 Typical Fields of Application ' - Hardness testing of mass produced parts during manufacturing opera-tion - Hardness tests on installed machines or steel structures - Rapid testing of multiple measuring areas for examining hardness var. 3 lations over larger regions t - Control measurement for the rapid determination of a specific thermal ' treatment result, e.g. annealed or quenched and tempered - Workpieces for which the indentation made by the hardness test must be as small as possible and may not leave sharp edges, e.g on rolls or O ground surfaces of machine parts. 2.2 EQUOTIP Measuring Method ' The hardness measurements carried out with the EQUOTIP hardness tes-D ter is a dynamic method predicated upon the principle of energy meas-urement. (EQUO - Energy OUOtient) During a hardness test, an impact body, equipped with a spherically shaped tungsten carbide test tip, impacts under spring force against the O test surface from which it rebounds. Impact and rebound velocities are measured in a contactless manner at the precise moment, when the spherically shap3d tungsten carbide test tip is located approx. t mm from the test surf ace. This is accomplished by a permanent magnet built into the impact body which,during the test impact, travels through a coil. Dur-ing the forward and rebound movement, electrical voltages are induced I which are proportional to the velocities. The measurement values derived , from the impact and rebound velocities are processed into the hardness value or number L by the indicator device. O . 6 e 7. ^ ? ' f Y ' 7.

- Connectimpact device and turn on instrument.Three zeros willappear C.t the digital display and the battery power indicator moves into the green field, if the batteries arn discharged, no digital display appears and the indi-cator will be in the red field, in the event of insufficient battery power, the digital display automatically extinguishes. Thus, erroneous meas-urements due to insufficiently charged batteries are precluded. - After turning on the instrument, wait approx 5 seconds before carrying out the first test. No waiting time is required for subsequent tests. - The minimum ambient temperature is +5'C. When storing the instru-mont at temperatures below +5*C it should be allowed to warm up sufficiently before it is placed into operation. I ) 8 f l f --=== m a ,-,.,7.-- -g

7) c) Conversion to hardness values of other methods With a certain loss of accuracy, the hardness value L can be 3onverted into equivalent hardness values of other measuring systemt such as Brinell, Vickers, Rockwell C. Shore, etc. See instructions iri Sect. 9 and corresponding "Converslori Tables" for the type of impact device 9 used.

J 11 3 6.Pcrformance Check and Maintenance of the Instrument D 6,1 Pcrformance Check The Performance Check controls the mechanical and electronic func-tions of the impact device and the indicator unit. It is accomplished by measuring the hardness value L of the standard test block applicable to 3 the particular type of impact device (see Sect.12). , Carrying out the Performance Check: - Clean an impact device according to Sect. 6.2 - Perform an impact test cn standard test block. As a rule,1 or 2 test im-

  • pacts are sufficient. The distance between impact location and outer 3 edge of the standard test block should measure at least Smm.

- Read off hardness value L and compare with reference L value. The in-strument operates properly if each measured L value falls within the reference range. if the deviation from the reference L value exceedsi12 Lunits,the instru-g ment should nolonger ce used and must be returned to the manufacturer for servicing.With smaller deviations, the L value can be corrected, until the next service, according to the following formula: -L Ls O Lactual Lk - correrted L-value L = read off L value during testing a sample Lrot = reference 'value from standard test block Lactuai = actual value when carrying out measurement operation at O the test block Frequency of Conducting Operational Tests a) Test instrument is used continuously: - at least once per day m - the latest after 1000 impacts b) Test instrument is used periodically: - before and after conducting a test series 6.2 Malntenance of the Impact Device The device does not require any particular care other than periodic clean-g ing of the impact body and the guide tube after performing approximately 1000-2000 tests. During cleaning, the following procedures need to be observed: I - Unscrew support ring and remove inipact body from guide tube - Clean off any dirt and metallic dust from the impact body and the , 9 spherical tip - Clean guide tube with the special brush provided - Do not apply oil to any parts of the impact device 12

,t I . . O A O 7. Treatment of Samples 7.1 Preparation of the Surface The samples must feature a metallic smooth, ground surface,in order to eliminate erroneous measurements brought about by coarse grinding or O lathe scoring. The roughness of the finished surface should not exceed the following values: Impact device types l D, DC, and D+15 G l g" . l' Roughness depth Ri 10 m 30 m l Ra= CLA = AA 2 m (=N7) 7 m (=N9) , Rt - Roughness depth (DIN 4762) Ra - Average roughness value (Germany) O CLA = Centre line average value (Great Britain) AA = Arithmetical average (USA) N7, N9 - Roughness classification according to ISO /R 1302 When preparing the surface, please observe that the condition of the ma-O terial may be affected (e.g. due to heating or cold working). As a con-sequence, the hardness is also influenced. lf the surface is inadequately prepared, the measuring results can be affected as follows: - Excessive surface. roughness results in lower L values (the true hard-ness is greater than indicated), and broad variations of individual O measurements. - Cold worked surfaces produce excessively large L values (the actual hardness is less than measured). O 7.2 Supporting the Samples during Testing For samples weighing more than S kg (more than 20kg in the case of type G) and of compact shape, no particular precautions are necessary. , For samples weighing less than 5 kg (less than 20 kg in the case of type G). the following must to be observed: ' O Despite the low mass of the impact body and low impact energy, a rela- , tively large impact force of short duration is generated when the impact body hits the measuring surface (max. approx.900 N for device D, DC, and D+15, or max. approx. 2500 N for type G). Smaller and lighter samples or workpieces yield or flex under this force, producing L values which are C

  • too small and of excessively large variation. Even with big or heavy work-pieces it is possible for thin wall regions or thinner protruding parts to yield upon impact. Depending on the frequency of the resilient yielding O 13

\ .. . .. a A h D action, the measured L-value may be too small or too large. In many situa-O tions, potential problems can be checked in the following manner: c) Samples having a unit weight of 2-S kg (5-15 kg for device G) and also for heavier samples with protruding parts or thin walls should be placed on a solid support in such a manner that they do not move or flex during the test impact, o b) Samples having a unit weight ofless than 2 kg (less than 5 kg for device . G) should be rigidly "coupled" with a non yielding support such as a heavy base plate Clamping in a vice is of no value, since the samples become exposed to stress and because complete rigidity is never at- , tained. As a rule, the measured L values would be too smalland show excessive variations. For coupling purposes, a thin layer of coupling paste is to be applied to the contact surface of the sample. Subsequently, the sample should be firmly pressed against the surface of the base plate by moving it g with a circular motion (mutual rubbing of the mating surfaces). The coupling process has been carried out properly,if there is still no me-tallic contact between the parts. During testing, the impact occurs so quickly that the thin layer does not have time to yield. The sample and the support behave as if they were absolutely rigidly interconnected. 9 For the coupling operation. the following prerequisites must be ful-l filled: l - The contact surface of the sample and the surface of the base plate must be flat, plane parallel and ground. ! - The direction of the test impact must be perpendicular to the lC coupled surface. l - The samples should have a shape as compact as possible and must , ( weigh at least 100 grams (500 g for device G) and have a thickness of at least S mm (10 mm for device G).

In the normal position, automatically present when testing flat and con-vex cylindrical samples (such as round samples), the spherical test tip is located exactly at the end of the guide tube. D However, when testing spherically or cylindrically shaped concave sur- # fac';s, the impact body remains further within the guide tube or protrudes further therefrom. Thus, with such types of curved surfaces,it is to be ob-served that the radii of curvature do not drop below the values indicated in , Fig.13.

8. Special Characteristics of the EQUOTIP 3 Measuring Method 8.1 Hardness Value L The measure of hardness used in the EQUOTIP method is the hardness value L. This value is the quotient obtained by dividing the 'ebound velo-3 city Va by the impact velocity VA. multiplied by a factor of 1000. The term L-

{ value is named after the inventor of this measuring princ ple, Dipl. Ing. Dietmar Leeb. i L = 1000 b VA Since the impact velocity remains constant for a given impact direction, O this value is proportional to the rebound velocity. The rebound velocity increases with the material hardness. In principle, the hardness value L rises with increasing hardness of the material tested. - The measuring value is influenced not only by the hardness or strength, but also by the modulus of elasticity as well as the elastic limit respec-O tively yield point. The hardness value L, therefore, constitutes a characteristic value of both plastic and elastic behavior of the material, since both factors are automatically measured conjointly. % Regarding the elastic properties, the influence of the E modulusis of par-g ticular importance. With materials of the same static hardness but diffe ent magritude of the E modulus, those having a smaller E modulus will characteristically produce a larger L value. For instance, a steel sam-pie (E modulus about 210000 N/mm') with a Brinell hardness of 150, pos-sesses an L value of 416 (impact device D)while an aluminium sample (E-g modulus about 70 000 N/mm 2) also with a Brinell hardness of 150, has an L value of 542 (impact device D). Since the elastic properties

  • differ from one matenal to anotner, the hardness value L only represents direct measure of hardness,ifit is relat-ed to a cartain group of materials.

O Generally speaking, the hardness value L can only be compared to a limit-ed exter't with conventional static indentation hardness values. In con-trast to the EQUOTIP method, only the predominantly plastic properties are measured by static hardness testing systems. By grcuping the different types of metals in terms of their E modulus, 'O alloying and treatment. it is possible to develop highly usable conversion curves for converting the hardness values or numbers for use in practical wtsi k. lQ l O 8.2 Sch:mstic D: sign of tho Imp;ct Devicts D, DC',0+15 and G.

9. Convarslan b twcon L-Vclu s and cther Hardness Numbers 9,1 Conversion Tables

, Fcr comparison between hardness value L and hardness numbers of cth:r systems such as E3rinell, Vickers, Rockwell C, etc., conversion curves and tables have been compiled.In order to develop these compar-ative values, a large number of standard test blocks (according to DIN 51303-1975 and JIS 7731-1976) were tested with the EQUOTIP method, g followed by tests with other hardness measuring methods. The measur-ing data obtained were processed into conversion tables using the method of least squares (non linear regression). 9,2 Conversion Deviations o " The conversion deviation is the variance resulting from the comparison of m;;suring values observed with different hardness testing methods. It includes 2 components.The major share is caused by the fact that there is no clear physical relationship between the various methods. The second g component results from the circumstance that the comparison of hard-ness values (e.g. L value and Brinell) also includes the measuring devia-tion of the method being compared to. Th;refore, a conversion between hardness values contains inaccuracies from the outset. This applies not only to conversion of the L value into O static indentation hardness values, but also for converting from one static hardness measuring method to another. The conversion deviations (=HB, HV, etc.) indicated in the "conversion tables" represent "standard deviations",i.e. 68% of all materials tested to date fellwithin the specified variance range. O 9,3 Deviation from Conversion Values Ocviations from the values i.7 the conversion table can occur with the following steel qualities: O High-Alloyed Steels - All austenite steels - In high speed tool steels, hotwork steels, and ledeburite chromium steels (group of high carbon cold work steels), the hard materials em-bodded in the matrix (ledeburite tungsten carbido e.g. type M7C3 and O M6C) cause a local increase of the E modulus, resulting in L values which are actually too low. A typical representative of this group is the tool steel for cold work X210Cr12 (Material No.1.2080) containing 2.1% C and 12% Cr. O 20 . .. 1 O '. , -__--_____________o____________~____-_ I - - n Cold Work Hardoned Steels - Drawn and in part also rolled steels frequently lead to exessively high L-values due to the pronounced cold worked regions near the surface which simulate higher than actual hardness. Such steels should always n be tested over their entire cross section, u) Magnetic Steels - When testing magnetic materials, the velocity transmitterin the impact body is briefly influenced by their magnetic field. Therefore, slight de-viations of the measured L values may occur. Surface Hardened Steels - Surface hardened steels and especia3y case hardened steels pro- i duce L values which are too low because of their soft core. Layer thicknesses measuring exceeding 0.0 mm do notinfluence the L value. O By establishing plant internal conversion curves according to Sect. 9.4, the testing of surface hardened steels may nevertheless be possible. 9,4 Setup of Plant Internal Conversion Curves For the special situations mentioned in Sect. 9.3, or when testing mate-rials for which no generally applicable conversion tables are available, the user can develop individual conversion tables. When developing conversion curves, the following points must be ob-served: - The sample surface must be prepared very carefully. - If p ssible, samples should be of a size which makes coupling to a sup-O port base unnecessary. - The correct readout of the EOUOTiP hardness testeris to be checked against the standard test block for each test series. - The function of the static hardness testing machines and the co"ect O optical evaluation of the indentations is to be checked for each test series,with the aid of standard test blocks of corresponding measuring range. - Only such hardness values should be correlated which are directly de-rived from immediate proximity to the relevant measuring area. To ob-O tain a pair of comparative values, always form a mean value from at least 10 to 15 L values and 3 static indentation hardness values. O O 21
