BS IEC 62765-1:2015 6 IEC 62765-1:2015 IEC 2015 INTRODUCTION a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of the standard With the

25、 majority of NPPs over 20 years old, the management of ageing of transmitters (pressure, level, flow) is currently a relevant topic, especially for those plants that have extended their operating licenses or are considering this option. This standard is intended to be used by operators of NPPs (util

26、ities), systems evaluators, and by licensors. b) Situation of the current standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series IEC 62765 is the third level IEC SC 45A document comprising several parts to tackle the specific issue of management of ageing of sensors and transmitters in nuclear

27、power plants (NPPs) for I steps to be followed to establish pressure transmitter testing requirements for an ageing management program for NPP instrumentation systems; and relationship between on-going qualification analysis and ageing management program with regards to pressure transmitters. It is

28、recognised that testing and monitoring techniques used to evaluate the ageing condition of NPPs transmitters are continuing to develop at a rapid pace and that it is not possible for a standard such as this to include references to all modern technologies and techniques. This standard identifies min

29、imum requirements aimed at ensuring that any potential impacts on NPP safety due to ageing of pressure transmitters of NPP can be identified and that suitable actions are undertaken to demonstrate that the safety of the plant will not be impaired. To ensure that this standard will continue to be rel

30、evant in future years, the emphasis has been placed on issues of principle, rather than specific technologies. d) Description of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series and relationships with other IEC documents and other bodies documents (IAEA, ISO) The top-level document of the IEC SC 45A

31、standard series is IEC 61513. It provides general requirements for I impulse lines/sensing lines are usually used to connect pressure, level, and flow transmitters to the process Note 1 to entry: They vary in length from a few metres to a few hundred metres. Sensing lines may also include isolation

This verification definition applies not to activities but to equipment. 3.20 system validation confirmation by examination and provision of other evidence that a system fulfils in its entirety

39、the requirement specification as intended (functionality, response time, fault tolerance, robustness) Note 1 to entry: In this standard, to apply this definition pressure transmitters are considered as systems.

Temperature predominantly affects the transmitters electronics. Long-term exposure to high temperatures is detrimental to the life of the transmitter. Temperature

42、also increases the effect of humidity because it increases the rate at which moisture diffuses through seals. 5.4.4 Humidity Humidity affects the operation of a transmitters electronics and can cause corrosion in other parts of a transmitter. Moisture sources and sinks exist within the transmitter a

43、nd are therefore unavoidable. The humidity levels inside a nuclear power plant may be as high as 100 %, particularly in areas where there are water or steam leaks during normal plant operation. Some moisture will leak into transmitters because the organic polymer seals used in most transmitters cann

44、ot provide perfect sealing under long-term exposure to the temperatures that exist around pressure transmitters. A significant degrading effect of humidity is short circuits in the transmitter electronics. In addition, moisture weakens the dielectric strength of insulators. 5.4.5 Pressure transients

45、 Pressure transmitters are continuously exposed to small pressure fluctuations during normal operation and large pressure surges during reactor trips and other events. Water hammer, for example, is a well-known phenomenon in NPPs, which can degrade the performance of PT. Other pressure-induced degra

46、dations occur during calibration and maintenance when transmitters are inadvertently over-pressurised or cycled with pressures that are above or below their normal range. Cyclic pressures accelerate wearing and loosening of parts in the mechanical systems of transmitters. 5.4.6 Vibration Vibration g

47、enerated by nearby machinery during plant operation is transmitted to pressure transmitters through the building structure. Normal vibration can produce mechanical fatigue and loosen or disintegrate the transmitter components. 5.4.7 Corrosive chemical reaction Chemicals or sludge in process fluids c

48、an cause blockages in sense lines, fouling or erosion and corrosion of primary elements or sensing parts. Corrosion of sense element diaphragms may dilute oil fills. Any of these effects may cause changes in calibration accuracy or time response. BS IEC 62765-1:2015 16 IEC 62765-1:2015 IEC 2015 Tabl
