According to KGS FS551, the safety of an exposure pipe system should be calculated quantitatively by calculating the stress of exposed piping for thermal expansion. However, many pipe system designs and installation sites are not equipped for this. Therefore, KGS FS551 suggested the use of safe gas by presenting the recommended pipe shape. The shapes of various pipe systems have been derived. However, the recommended shape could not be an absolute evaluation standard. Furthermore, the ongoing debate over standards between a plumbing installer and an inspector is an obstacle to the efficient and safe use of gas. Therefore, the correct pipe system evaluation method is examined in this study, and the safety of the existing exposed pipe system is verified.

To elucidate the influence of pipe materials on the VBNC (viable but nonculturable) state and bacterial numbers in drinking water, biofilm and effluent from stainless steel, galvanized iron, and polyvinyl chloride pipe wafers were analyzed. Although no HPC (heterotrophic plate count) was detected in the chlorinated influent of the model system, a DVC (direct viable count) still existed in the range between 3- and 4-log cells/ml. Significantly high numbers of HPC and DVC were found both in biofilm and in the effluent of the model system. The pipe material, exposure time, and the season were all relevant to the concentrations of VBNC and HPC bacteria detected. These findings indicate the importance of determining the number of VBNC cells and the type of pipe materials to estimate the HPC concentration in water distribution systems and thus the need of determining a DVC in evaluating disinfection efficiency.

As the distributed generation becomes more reliable and economically feasible, it is expected that a higher application of the distributed generation units would be interconnected to the existing grids. This paper describes the results for the mechanical and environmental tests of pretreatment system material. Mechanical Characteristics make differences between parent / weldment, Notch existence / non-existence and air/$H_2O$ conditions. As a result, the life of pipe lines needs to maintain and fit for the operating period. Based on actual situations, the tension test of pipe welding-parts is carried out varying the exposure time of hydrogen sulfide and the fatigue resistance test is also performed inserting a notch into the pipe welding part, being exposed to the hydrogen sulfide environment for 720 hours.

The safe operation of high pressure pipe line systems is of significant importance. Leaks due to faulty operation from the pipelines can lead to considerable product losses and to exposure of community to dangerous gases. There are several leak detection methods of pipeline network which have recently been suggested. The negative pressure wave detection technology, which has advantages of short time detection availability, accurate leaking location estimate capability and cost effective, is concentrated in this study. Theoretical analysis of the flow characteristics for leaking through a hole on the pipe wall has been performed by using Fluent 6.3, commercial CFD package. The results of 3-dimensional analysis near leaking hole confirm the occurrence of negative pressure wave, and the results of 2-dimensional analysis verify the characteristics of propagation of the wave which travels with speed equal to the speed of sound in the pipeline contents. Characteristics of leakage and pressure in a pipe with a hole have been analyzed for the various pipe and hole sizes.

A self-travelling sprayer was developed to avoid the exposure of an operator to agricultural chemicals and exhaust gas, to improve safety and to increase working efficiency during the application and transport work in the greenhouses. This system consists of self-travelling system and the control system for application and safety device. The auto-spray car is equipped with a liquid chemical tank of 80l capacity. The travelling system adopted mechanical steering system which link mechanism of front wheel is guided by guide rollers. The sprayer travels along the guiding pipe which is set on the furrow in the greenhouses. The sprayer stops automatically applying and traveling when the liquid chemical tank becomes empty or when the sprayer reach the turning point. The spray booms swings in a vertical plane. The control system of safety devices controls the automatic stop of the sprayer when there is an obstacle on the traveling path, or when the battery becomes discharged. The auto-spray car traveled smoothly and steadily along the guide pipe during traveling straightly and turning on the ground.

In this study, a corrosion failure analysis of a heat transport pipe was conducted, as the result of a pinhole leak. Interestingly, the corrosion damage occurred externally in the pipeline, resulting in severe thickness reduction near the seam line. Also, while a stable magnetite protective film formed on the inner surface, the manganese oxide formation occurred only on the outer surface. The interior and exterior of the pipe were composed of ferrite and pearlite. The large manganese sulfide and alumina inclusions were found near the seam line. In addition, the manganese sulfide inclusions resulted in grooving corrosion, which progressed in the seam line leading to the reduction in the thickness, followed by the exposure of the alumina in the matrix to the outer surface. To note, the corrosion was accelerated by pits generated from the boundaries separating the inclusions from the matrix, which resulted in pinhole leaks and water loss.

도로와 철도터널에서는 비상시 대피를 위한 시설이 필수적이며, 제연 및 화재 진압을 위한 설비와 승객의 피난 통로가 그것이다. 장대 병설터널에서는 횡갱을 배치하여 화재 발생 반대편 터널로 대피하도록 계획된다. 병설 쉴드터널에서는 횡갱의 시공을 위해 기 시공된 본선터널의 영구 구조물인 세그먼트 라이닝을 철거하여 원지반을 노출하여야 한다. 현대의 대부분의 쉴드TBM이 막장을 격벽으로 차단한 폐쇄형 쉴드TBM임을 감안할 때, 원지반이 노출되는 횡갱의 시공은 쉴드터널의 시공단계에서 위험도가 높은 과정 중 하나이다. 특히, 지하수위 아래의 토사 쉴드터널의 횡갱 시공에서는 세그먼트 철거 및 굴착 중 토사지반의 안정성 확보를 위한 차수 및 굴착공법에 대한 면밀한 검토가 요구된다. 본 사례 연구에서는 토사지반에서 대구경 강관추진을 활용한 횡갱 굴착 공법의 시공 중 유의사항을 소개하고 시공 후 계측결과를 분석하였다. 본 사례 연구에서 소개되는 횡갱 굴착공법은 그라우팅으로 보강된 토사지반에 대구경 강관 추진 후 내부 굴착하는 공법으로써, 두 가지 메커니즘에 의해 토사지반에서 굴착 중 막장의 안정성을 확보한다. 첫 번째는 대구경 강관을 추진하여 막장 전방 토사지반의 전주면을 강관에 의해 선 지보 한다. 두 번째는 대구경 강관 추진으로 내부로 압입된 토사의 Plugging 효과에 의해 막장 전면의 지지효과를 얻을 수 있다. 추진력에 의한 강관의 변형 및 강관의 관통 완료 후 응력발생 계측결과로부터 대구경 강관 추진에 의한 횡갱 굴착공법이 토사지반에서 충분한 시공성과 안정성을 확보함을 확인하였다. 본 사례 연구의 토사 쉴드터널의 횡갱 시공공법은 유사한 현장조건에서 널리 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Unlike the welded pipes in the primary system of light water nuclear power plants being periodically inspected with in-Service inspection program, relatively small pipes with the outer diameter less than 2 inch have not been regularly inspected to date. However, after several failure reports on the occurrence of critical crack-like defects in small pipes, inspection for the small pipes has been more demanded because it could cause the provisional outage of nuclear power plants. Nevertheless, there's no particular method to examine the small pipes having access limitations for inspection due to various reasons; inaccessible area, excessive radiation exposure, hazardous surrounding, and etc. This study is to develop a reliable inspection technique using torsional and flexural modes of guided wave to detect defects that could occur in inaccessible area. The attribute of guided wave that can travel a long distance enables to inspect even isolated range of the pipe from accessible location. This paper presents a case study of the evaluation test on 3/4" small-bore pipes with guide wave method. The test result demonstrates the crack signal behavior and assures possibility to detect the crack signal in a flexural mode, which is clearly distinguishable from the symmetric structure signal in a torsional mode.

In order to reduce the secondary earthquake disaster resulting from the damage of gas facilities it is indispensable to establish an early response system on the basis of damage prediction. In this study the procedure of damage prediction for gas facilities is proposed and applied to the gas supply model area. Model area is divided into several little blocks. The soil condition and the characteristics of facilities were investigated at each block. Using fragility curves of facilities the damage level was analyzed under various seismicities. It is confirmed that the exposure gas pipe line in several blocks is damaged seriously by the collapse of building structures.
