Hydraulic Test for Strength Evaluation of Valve

수압시험을 이용한 밸브의 강도평가

Hydraulic test was conducted to evaluate the structural strength of valve exposed to high pressure environment during combustion progress. For the proof pressure, 1.05 times higher pressure than MEOP was applied in the hydraulic test. Two units of valves were used in the hydraulic test. The result for measured strain of the valve dependent on the pressurization conditions during the test were verified comparing with the results for the finite element analysis. Observing the difference between the results for the finite element analysis and the hydraulic test, the difference was within 20% error and the plastic deformation was not generated.

연소 중 고압의 환경에 노출되는 밸브의 구조적 강도를 평가하기 위해 수압시험을 수행하였다. 수압 시험에서의 보증압력은 MEOP의 1.05배를 적용하였다. 총 2조의 밸브로 수압시험을 수행하였으며, 시험 시 가압조건에 따른 밸브의 변형률 계측결과를 유한요소해석 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 유한요소해석과 수압시험 결과의 오차는 약 20%이내이며, 소성변형은 발생하지 않았다.
