Environmental effect test of rupture disk (I)

Kaneko, Yoshihisa*; not registered; Nishikimi, Masakazu*; Tsuchiya, Tsuneo; not registered

Rupture disks were tested for a purpose of examination of burst characteristic, corrosion, change of metal formation and mechanical characteristic. Those rupture disks were installed at evaporator (reverse buckling type), superheater (reverse buckling type) and reaction product vessel (tension loaded type) and were used from September, 1975 to January, 1983 at 50 MW steam generator test facility (50 MW SGTF). Main results are the following; (1)Burst pressure of used and unused rupture disks of steam generator and reaction product vessel was lower than the value measured at producted time. But it satisfied specification in purchase. (2)Burst characteristic of rupture disk for steam generator did not Change even after they were used for 10138$$sim$$12387 hours through at the condition of 200$$sim$$430$$^{circ}$$C and 0.7 $$sim$$ 1.4kg/cm$$^{2}$$g. (3)Rupture disks of steam generator and reaction product vessel opened perfectly at burst test. (4)Corrosion was scarcely found. (5)Metal formation and mechanical and physical characteristics of material (Inconel X-750) of rupture disk has changed (age hardnening) through environment effect. (6)If we use Inconel X-750 as rupture disk material for steam generator, we must put in operation after ageing treatment. Otherwise it is desirable to use Inconel 600 or 625 which is not effected by age hardnening and has heatproof and corrosion-resistance characteristics.
