Abstract Metallic spiral-wound gasket sealing are generally applicable for the service conditions, which are subject to the periodic temperature and pressure changes, shocks or vibrations. The nominal size of the largest spiral wound gasket of flanges is according to the provisions of HG/T 20631; those more than this specification are in the scope of non-standard parts, which require customization and manufacturing. This paper aims for introducing the successful experience of the first application of customized for non-standard spiral-wound gasket sealing of the large opening flange used for pressure vessel which bears high temperature and high pressure. The paper demonstrated the basic principle and critical points for the design and application of customized non-standard spiral-wound gasket sealing for the large opening flange and provided the valuable reference of actual application experience for the design and manufacturing of similar components. This paper presents the experiences summary in the study field and provides valuable reference of actual application experience for the design and manufacturing of similar components.

In thermal hydraulics designing and safety analysis of the High Temperature gas-cooled Reactor-Pebble Bed (HTR-PM), the THERMIX code was used to study the behavior of helium in the primary coolant system. Once the helium leaks out of the primary loop through a break on the pressure boundary or an inadvertent open relief valve, it is difficult to simulate the conditions of the room where the release occurred with THERMIX. In this paper, the latest version of RELAP5/MOD4 was used to simulate the behavior of the helium released to the containment rooms. A RELAP5/MOD4 input deck of the HTR-PM, consisting of the core, the primary coolant system, the secondary loop and the containment, was developed and evaluated in this paper. Based on the model, this paper simulated the accidents consequences of large breaks or small breaks near the inlet or the outlet of the helium circulator located inside the steam generator pressure vessel. The calculating results illustrate that the temperature of the helium flowing into the reactor building through the break was no more than 280°C even after an un-isolating large break. The analysis shows that the systems function to scram the reactor and to monitor the core temperature and pressure after accidents would not be affected by breaks.

Case Basis

It is a regular practice in the oil industry to modify mechanical equipment to incorporate new technologies and to optimize production. In the case of pressure vessels, it is occasionally required to cut large openings in their walls in order to have access to the interior part of the equipment for executing modifications. This cutting process produces temporary loads, which were obviously not considered in the original mechanical design. Up to now, there is not a general purpose specification for approaching the assessments of stress levels once a large opening in a vertical pressure vessel has been made. Therefore stress distributions around large openings are analyzed on a case-by-case basis without a reference scheme. This work studies the distribution of the von Mises equivalent stresses around a large opening in FCC Regenerators during internal cyclone replacement, which is a frequently required practice for this kind of equipment. A finite element parametric model was developed in ANSYS, and both numerical results and illustrating figures are presented.

Carbide Content

Temper embrittlement is a common damage mechanism of pressure vessels in the chemical and petrochemical industry serviced in high temperature, which results in the reduction of roughness due to metallurgical change in some low alloy steels. Pressure vessels that are temper embrittled may be susceptible to brittle fracture under certain operating conditions which cause high stress by thermal gradients, e.g., during start-up and shutdown. 2.25Cr1-Mo steel is widely used to make hydrogenation reactor due to its superior combination of high mechanical strength, good weldability, excellent high temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) and oxidation-resistance. However, 2.25Cr-1Mo steel is particularly susceptible to temper embrittlement. In this paper, the effect of carbide on temper embrittlement of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel was investigated. Mechanical properties and the ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel were measured by tensile test and impact test. The tests were performed at two positions (base metal and weld metal) and three states (original, step cooling treated and in-service for a hundred thousand hours). The content and distribution of carbides were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The content of Cr and Mo elements in carbide was measured by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). The results showed that the embrittlement could increase the strength and reduce the plasticity. Higher carbide contents appear to be responsible for the higher DBTT. The in-service 2.25Cr-1Mo steel showed the highest DBTT and carbide content, followed by step cooling treated 2.25Cr-1Mo steel, while the as-received 2.25Cr-1Mo steel has the minimum DBTT and carbide content. At the same time, the Cr and Mo contents in carbide increased with the increasing of DBTT. It is well known that the specimen analyzed by SEM is very small in size, sampling SEM specimen is convenient and nondestructive to pressure vessel. Therefore, the relationship between DBTT and the content of carbide offers a feasible nondestructive method for quantitative measuring the temper embrittlement of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel pressure vessel.

Modeling of welded joints under creep conditions with finite element analysis was undertaken using the theta projection method. The results were compared to modeling based on a simple Norton law. Theta projection data extends the accuracy and predictive capability of finite element modeling of critical structures operating at high temperature and pressure. In some cases analyzed, it was found that the results diverged from those gained using a Norton law creep model. [S0094-9930(00)00601-6]
