This study performed burst tests using real-scale pipe elbow containing simulated local wall-thinning to evaluate the effects of circumferential thinning angle and bending load on the failure pressure of wall-thinned elbow. The tests were carried out under the loading conditions of internal pressure and combined internal pressure and bending loads. Three circumferential thinning angles, ${\theta}/{\Pi}=0.125,\;0.25,\;0.5$, and different thinning locations, intrados and extrados, were considered. The test results showed that the failure pressure of wall-thinned elbow decreased with increasing circumferential thinning angle for both thinning locations. This tendency is different from that observed in the wall-thinned straight pipe. Also, the failure pressure of intrados wall-thinned elbow was higher than that of extrados wall-thinned elbow with the same thinning depth and equivalent thinning length. In addition, the effect of bending moment on the failure pressure was not obvious.

본 연구에서는 측정기준 수립을 위해 실험된 결과를 통계적으로 분석하였다. 측정오차에 미치는 영향력의 크기는 회선 수, 센서의 설치각도 및 직관거리가 심한 영향을 미치며 레이놀즈수가 다음으로 영향을 준다. 2중 곡관하류의 유동패턴을 이해하기 위하여 3D 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과는 1회선에서 센서의 설치각도 $0^{\circ}$와 $45^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$의 L/D=3과 5의 경우가 실험과 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 레이놀즈수 700,000~1,400,000일 때, 1회선 초음파유량계는 센서의 위치를 L/D=3의 $45^{\circ}$에 설치함으로서 오차를 줄일 수 있다.

A five path ultrasonic and/or magnetic flowmeter were installed after valve. Five path ultrasonic flowmeter were tested to obtain it's performance in a water flow standard system and magnetic flowmeter. It's varied with straight pipe length(nD), install direction and valve position. All the results are summerized. The multi-path flowmeters(MUF) showed up to $\pm0.5{\%}$ at a 2, 4, 8, 15D spacing : the MUF was significantly better than magnetic flowmeter at disturbed flow conditions.

배관은 사용기간 중에 여러 가지 열화에 의해 손상을 받으며, 그 중 감육(두께감소)이 발생하게 되면 심각한 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서, 배관시스템의 보전유지를 위해서는 감육되어진 배관의 강도를 평가하는 것이 중요하다. 어떤 재료가 외부 응력 등에 의해 파괴 혹은 변형된다면 그 특징적인 탄성파가 변형메카니즘에 따라 여러 가지로 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 감육을 가지는 배관에서 감육결함의 길이 및 깊이를 다르게 상정하였을 때 나타나는 AE신호들에 대해 Wavelet Transform시스템을 이용하여 평가하였다. 또한,실배관의 굽힘시험을 통하여 기계적인 강도를 평가하였다. 결과로부터, 감육의 깊이비(d/t)의 정도에 따라 주파수 성분을 구별하는 것이 가능하였다.

Many damages due to flow-accelerated corrosion and cracking have been observed during recent in-service inspections of nuclear power plants. To determine the operability or repair for damaged pipes, an integrity evaluation related to the damaged piping system should be performed by using already proven code and standards. One of them, the ASME Code Case is most popularly used to integrity assessment in nuclear power plants. However, the recent version of CC N-513 still recommends the simplified method which means a damaged elbow is assumed as an equivalent straight pipe. In addition, to enhance the accuracy integrity assessment in elbow, several previous studies recommend that the SIF and elastic COD values for an elbow with relatively large crack could be predicted by an interpolation technique. However, those estimates for elbow with relatively large crack might be derived to inaccurate results for crack growth analysis, such as for the allowable crack size and life estimation. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of crack length (0.3≤θ₁/π≤0.5) on SIF and elastic COD for elbow is systematically investigated. Then, for large crack in elbow, accurate estimates for SIF and elastic COD, which are widely used to assess the integrity of elbows, are proposed. Those proposed solutions are expected to be the technical basis for revisions of CC N-513-4 through the validation.

본 논문은 자벌레 이동장치의 전, 후반부에 각각 여섯 개의 다리로 이루어진 고정장치를 사용하여 인체 내에서 원활하게 이동할 수 있는 대장내시경로봇을 제안하였다. 또한, 관탐사용 이동장치로 기 개발된 하나의 공압선을 이용한 자벌레 이동방식을 적용하여 공압선과 이동환경 사이의 마찰을 줄여주어 이동 성능을 높여주었다. 이동 성능을 평가하기 위하여 로봇을 직경 15mm, 길이 110~250mm 의 크기로 설계 및 제작 후, 아크릴 관과 죽은 돼지의 창자에서 이동실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통하여 로봇은 곡관의 반경이 25mm 이상이면 이동이 가능함을 알 수 있었고, 직관의 경우 수평관에서 33mm/s, 수직관에서 12.1mm/s 의 이동 속도를 보여주었다. 결론적으로 하나의 공압선을 이용하여 구동되고 양단에 다리로 구성된 고정장치를 장착한 제안된 로봇은 대장내시경 로봇으로써 신뢰성이 높은 이동성능을 보여주었다.

This study reports the analysis of the pressure drop characteristics for the air-particle flow in powder transport piping system. The pressure drop characteristics of air-particle flow in piping system is not well understood due to the complexity of particles motion mechanism. Particles or powders suspended in air flow cause the increase of the pressure drop and affect directly the transportation efficiency. In this study, the pressure drop in powder transport piping system with straight and curved pipes is analyzed for the interactions of air flow and particle motion. The total pressure drop increases with increasing of the pipe length, the mixture ratio, and the friction factor of particles due to the increasing friction loss by air and particles in a coal piping system. For the coal powders of $74{\mu}m$ size and powder-to-air mass mixture ratio of 0.667, the total pressure drop by the consideration of powders and air flow is $30\%$ higher than that of air flow only.

A real scale leakage test facility was developed to study the leak signal characteristics of water supply pipelines, and then leak tests were carried out. The facility was designed to overcome the limited experimental circumstances of domestic water supply pipeline experimental facilities. The length of the pipeline, which was installed as a straight line, is 280m. Six pipes were installed on a 70m interval with different pipe material and diameters that are DCIP(D200, D150, D100, D80), PE(D75) and PVC(D75).The intensity of the leakage is adjusted by changing the size of the leak hole and the opening rate of ball valve. Various pressure conditions were simulated using a pressure reducing valve.To minimize external noise sources which, deteriorate the quality of measured leak signal, the facility was built at a quiet area, where traffic and water consumption by customers is relatively rare. In addition, the usage of electric equipment was minimized to block out noise and the facility was operated using manual mode. From the experimental results of measured leakage signal at the facility, it was found that the signal intensity weakened and the signal of high frequency band attenuated as the distance from the water leakage point increased.

The test of comparing liquid flow calibration system (approved by KOLAS) for accuracy and structure change test was performed in the test bed in order to evaluate the typical characteristics of the electromagnetic flow meters and parshall flume that are generally used in the water discharging facilities. The results of the accuracy comparing test with liquid flow calibration system showed the error of less than 2%. Pharshall plume got error up to -8.3% (low flow) from the flow rate test, but less than 4% from the accumulated flow test because of offset error at high flow rate and low flow rate. Evaluation of structual change test was tested with only parshall flume using structure and it consisted of installation angle (parshall flume and level sensor) and position change. Installation angle, water level sensor angle and position changing test for parshall flume had errors of 3.1%~-9.2%, 0.4%~-5.6% and 0.2%~1.3% respectively. Especially, the error showed the largest increase when the water level sensor measured the point of decreased flow by the structure change. Therefore, error factors (change of straight pipe length, installation of obstacle or effect of foreign substances on water level sensor) that can often occur in the field should be derived and the research for optimized installation method should be carried out continuously.

The pressure drop characteristics of air particle flow in a powder transport piping system were analyzed in this study. The pressure drop characteristics of air particle flow in the piping system have not well understood due to the complexibility of particle motion mechanism. Particles or powders suspended in the air flow cause the increase of the pressure drop and affect directly transport efficiency. In this study, the pressure drop in a powder transport piping system was analyzed with interactions of air flow and particle motion in straight and curved pipes. The total pressure drop increased with pipe length, mixture ratio, and friction factor of particles because of increased friction loss of air and particles in the piping system. For the coal powders of $74{\mu}msize$ and powder-to-air mass mixture ratio of 0.667, the total pressure drop under the consideration of powders and air flow was calculated as much as 30% higher than that air flow only.
