연소의 3요소 중 대기 중에 상시 존재하는 산소는 고압산소 조건에서는 극미량의 가연물만으로도 화재·폭발이 발생할 수 있으며. 연소속도 역시 상당하여 순식간에 공정 설비 및 배관을 녹이는 등 직접적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 온도까지 상승할 수 있다. 따라서 고압산소 상태에서 발생한 사고는 기타 사고에 비해 큰 피해가 발생하는 경우가 많다. 최근 산소공급 배관에 설치되어 있는 밸브를 조작하던 도중 내부에서 급격한 연소와 함께 파열이 발생하여 폭발로 인한 인명피해가 발생하였는데, 오래된 탄소강 배관인 경우 운전 중 발생한 Particle이 가연물이 되어 사고가 발생할 수 있다. 특히나 산소설비는 고압가스안전관리법에 따라 허가된 시설이고, 산업안전보건법에 의한 제한규정이 없는 상태이기 때문에 이러한 기준 적립이 무엇보다 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사고사례 및 해외기준을 바탕으로 고압 산소 취급 시 안정성 향상을 위한 방법에 대해 검토하고자 한다.

에너지 관련 플랜트에 사용되는 배관은 플랜트의 성능이나 안전성유지에 있어서 중요한 설비의 일부이다. 본 연구에서는 고압탄소강 배관의 변형 및 파괴에 대한 음향방출 기초 자료를 얻기 위하여 압력용기용 배관재를 기계가공하여 인장시험편을 만든 후, 인장시험을 실시하여 항복, 소성변형 및 파괴에 이르기까지의 음향방출 신호를 분석하였다. 탄성영역, 최대인장강도 이전의 소성영역 및 최대인장강도 이후의 소성영역에서 검출된 음향방출의 시간-주파수 분석 결과는 탄성영역에서 항복영역까지는 비교적 낮은 저주파수 대역(250${\~}$350kHz)이 나타났으며, 소성영역에서는 저주파수뿐만 아니라 고주파수 대역(500kHz)도 나타났다. 인장시험 후, 이러한 각 영역의 구별이 가능하였던 원인은 항복영역에서의 전위의 이동, 집적에 따른 신호와 최대인장강도 이전의 소성영역에서의 전위들이 개재물이나 결정입계를 통과했을 때 나타나는 신호, 최대인장강도 이후에는 미소공동의 발생, 성장 및 합체에 의하여 나타나는 신호로 분류가 가능하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

As an alternative measure to replace reactive stance with proactive one, a risk based management scheme has been commonly applied to enhance public satisfaction on water service by providing a higher creditable solution to handle a rehabilitation problem of pipe having high potential risk of leaks. This study intended to examine the feasibility of a simulation model to predict a recurrence probability of pipe leaks. As a branch of the data mining technique, probabilistic neural network (PNN) algorithm was applied to infer the extent of leaking recurrence probability of water network. PNN model could classify the leaking level of each unit segment of the pipe network. Pipe material, diameter, C value, road width, pressure, installation age as input variable and 5 classes by pipe leaking probability as output variable were built in PNN model. The study results indicated that it is important to pay higher attention to the pipe segment with the leak record. By increase the hydraulic pipe pressure to meet the required water demand from each node, simulation results indicated that about 6.9% of total number of pipe would additionally be classified into higher class of recurrence risk than present as the reference year. Consequently, it was convinced that the application of PNN model incorporated with a data base management system of pipe network to manage municipal water distribution network could make a promise to enhance the management efficiency by providing the essential knowledge for decision making rehabilitation of network.

Since, in case of high energy piping, steam jets ejected from the rupture zone may cause damage to nearby structure, it is necessary to design it into consideration of nuclear power plant design. For the existing nuclear power plants, the ANSI / ANS 58.2 technical standard for high-energy pipe rupture was used. However, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) and academia recently have pointed out the non-conservativeness of existing high energy pipe fracture evaluation methods. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a highly reliable evaluation methodology to evaluate the behavior of steam jet ejected during high energy pipe rupture and the effect of steam jet on peripheral devices and structures. In this study, we develop a method for analyzing the impact load of a jet by high energy pipe rupture, and plan to carry out an experiment to verify the evaluation methodology. In this paper, the basic data required for the design of the jet impact load experiment equipment under construction, 1) the load change according to the jet distance, 2) the load change according to the jet collision angle, 3) the load variation according to structure diameter, and 4) the load variation depending on the jet impact position, are numerically obtained using the developed steam jet analysis technique.

In many cases, the field fracture mechanism of the thermoplastic pipe is considered as either brittle or environmental fractures. Thus the estimation of the lifetime by modeling slow crack growth considering such fracture mechanisms is required. In comparison of the some conventional and empirical equations to explain the slow crack growth rate such as the Paris' law, the crack layer theory can be used to simulate the crack and process zone growth behaviors precisely, so the lifetime of thermoplastic pipe can also be accurately estimated. In this study, the modified crack layer theory for the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of high density polyethylene is introduced with detailed algorithm. The oxidation induction time of the HDPE is also considered for the reduction of specific fracture energy during exposed to chemical environments. Furthermore, the parametric study for an important SCC parameter is conducted to understand the slow crack growth behavior of SCC.

In this study, the natural frequency analysis of the fuel pipe and vibration test jig was performed as a basic study to determine the vibration characteristics of the vehicle's fuel pipe and the stability analysis of fatigue failure of the pipe. The natural frequencies of the fuel pipe and the fuel pipe with the test jig were calculated and the results were compared. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the natural frequency of the fuel pipe and the natural frequency of the test jig differed about 7 times, so that the vibration of the test jig did not affect the vibration of the fuel pipe. In addition, as a result of the natural frequency analysis of the fuel pipe itself and the pipe with the test jig attached, the maximum error is less than about 1%. In the future, it was suggested that the analysis of the design changed fuel pipe may be performed without a test jig.

High pressure steam pipe in power plants is subjected to service conditions under which creep processes take place limiting the component's lifetime. To ensure a safe and economic operation it is necessary to get accurate information about the lifetime situation of single components as well as of the whole system. Careful evaluation is combined with FEM analysis, NDT, microstructure evaluation. Especially, 14MoV63 steel is used as material for main steam pipe for 30 years old power plants. In service inspections have shown an increasing number of cracks and creep cavities beside stress concentration parts. A detailed analysis came to the conclusion that lifetime has been consumed to a high degree, 80%level.

A flange joint is a pipe connection used to prevent the leakage of high-pressure fluids by inserting a gasket and tightening the bolts. Among several kinds of gaskets available, metal ring type joint gaskets are most widely used in conditions that require high-temperature and high-pressure fluid flow, such as oil pipelines, gas pipes, pumps, valve joints, etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate the contact pressure and stress characteristics closely related to the sealing performance of Class 900 flange joints used in high temperature and high pressure environments. The dimensions of flange joints with five different nominal pipe sizes were determined with reference to those specified in ASME 16.5. The metal ring gaskets inserted in the joints were octagonal and oval gaskets. The bolt tensile forces calculated from the tightening torques were input as the bolt pretension loads in order to determine the contact pressure and stress levels after fastening. Loading was composed of three steps, including the fastening step, and different amounts of applied pressures were used in each analysis to investigate the effect of fluid pressure on the contact force of the joints. A general-purpose software, ANSYS 17.2, was used for the analysis.
