    摘要: A pipe clamp for reinforcing a welded joint between two pipes, having a plurality of circumferential clamp segments that are bolted together around the joint. One axial end of the clamp has circumferentially extended ridges that project inward and seat in corresponding circumferential grooves in a pipe on one side of the joint. The other axial end of the clamp has circumferentially spaced fingers that extend inward and fit into corresponding pockets on the other side of the weld joint. Either or both the ridges or the fingers have a taper whose cross-section reduces in an inward direction and fits in complimentary grooves or pockets on either side of the joint. The taper forces the opposite sides of the weld joint toward each other as the clamp segments are tightened together.

    摘要: The tension in a stud is verified by determining the elongation of the stud while attached to a stud tensioner during the tensioning step. The pressure of hydraulic fluid in a hydraulically actuated tensioner is increased from a first low pressure to a higher pressure for elongating the stud while correlating the increase in pressure of the hydraulic fluid with the quantity of hydraulic fluid in the tensioner or with the displacement of a tensioner puller bar or piston. After a nut is tightened on the stud, the pressure of the hydraulic fluid is reduced from the higher pressure to a second low pressure while correlating the decrease in pressure of the hydraulic fluid with the travel of the puller bar or piston or correlating the decrease in pressure of the hydraulic fluid with the change in fluid volume. The elongation of the stud is then determined as a function of the difference in the correlated quantities of hydraulic fluid or the correlated differences in puller bar or piston travel at the first and second low pressures. Finally, the tensioner is detached from the stud.

    摘要: A sludge lance nozzle for removing sludge from between the tubes of a nuclear steam generator includes positioning apparatus mounted on top of the nozzle. The positioning apparatus includes a cylindrical eddy-current sensor mounted inside a cup-shaped non-magnetic electrically insulating spacer, which is in turn mounted in a cup-shaped support member fixedly secured to the nozzle. The tubes are arranged in rows and columns with the axes of the tubes in each column lying in a common column plane. The nozzle is moved perpendicular to the column planes close to one of the rows of tubes. The sensor produces a maximum-amplitude output signal when the sensing axis is coplanar with the column plane of a tube in the closest row of tubes and a minimum-amplitude output signal when the sensing axis is midway between adjacent tubes in the closest row of tubes.

    摘要: A nozzle dam for providing a fluid-tight seal across a primary fluid nozzle in the plenum of a nuclear steam generating vessel includes an elongated shaft coupled at one end thereof to an anchor assembly frictionally engageable with the inner surface of the nozzle to anchor the dam in place and a fluid-impermeable seal apparatus coupled to the shaft and closing the nozzle and frictionally engageable with the inner surface thereof to form a fluid-tight seal. The seal apparatus includes a circular plate disposable in wedging frictional engagement with a frustoconical portion of the nozzle inner surface. The shaft extends through a central aperture in the plate and is threadedly engaged with a nut which holds the plate in place. The anchor assembly includes a foldable tripod arrangement coupled to the shaft in such a way that movement of the shaft toward the seal plate effects an increase in the frictional anchoring force. The seal assembly also includes an inflatable portion. In one embodiment this inflatable portion extends around the perimeter of the seal plate and is readily expandable. In another embodiment the inflatable portion includes inflatable pillows disposed between the seal plate and the anchor assembly and inflatable for completely closing the nozzle. A foldable tripod centering mechanism and a shaft tensioning tool are also disclosed.

    摘要: A spacer and block cutting torch is lowered through the wrapper-to-shell annulus of a removed-top steam generator by addition of vertical sections of hollow-back column by vertical movement of a motorized carriage along a rack-and-guide track extending upwardly from atop the wrapper and manipulation of column clamps, one movable with the carriage and the other affixed to the wrapper, to transfer column weight from carriage to wrapper-top during adding and subtracting column sections. The rearward concave side of the column, held flush with the wrapper wall, readily accepts and serves to enclose operating gas hoses for the cutting torch. Yieldable bias means cooperates with the interior of the generator shell to urge the concave side of the column toward the wrapper.
