21、for CANDU nuclear power plantsSeptember 20107.5.3 During pressure tests, an independent means of pressure monitoring shall be available during the pressurization phase of the test to prevent overpressurization.7.6 Leakage-rate test method7.6.1 The leakage-rate test method should be the absolute meth

22、od using the mass plot analysis technique (see Annex C). The termination criteria are such that the 95% confidence interval is a suitably small fraction of the measured leakage rate and the most recent data remain consistent with the data over the entire test period. 7.6.2 Where the test method spec

23、ified in Clause 7.6.1 is not used, an alternative method that meets the intent of this Standard shall be used.7.6.3 The test specified in Clauses 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 shall not be terminated in the event of abnormal trends.7.7 StabilizationFollowing a controlled pressure change, the pressure and temperat

24、ure shall be stabilized for a minimum period of 1 h unless a shorter stabilization period can be established. Stabilization is complete when the following conditions are met:(a) the average containment atmosphere temperature change is less than 0.25 K/h and is sustained over a 1 h period; and(b) the

25、 mass plot analysis technique demonstrates linearity as assessed by an experienced test engineer.Note: Arrangements should be made to ensure that the atmospheric conditions inside the containment are well mixed to promote stabilization. Well-mixed atmospheric conditions also ensure that instruments

26、give a valid representation of overall containment atmospheric conditions.7.8 HumidityThe conditions of the containment atmosphere during the pressure test shall be such that the dewpoint is low enough to prevent condensation on any surface.7.9 Duration of testThe leakage-rate test duration shall be

27、 determined by a qualified and experienced engineer on the basis of the allowable leakage rate and the accuracy of measurements established for each test procedure. In all cases, a statistically significant number of valid measurements shall be taken.7.10 Measurements7.10.1 Internal measurements of

28、pressure, temperature, and humidity shall be taken such that a statistically valid representation of their behaviour over the leakage-rate test interval is obtained.7.10.2 Pressure and temperature measurements of the surrounding outside environment of the containment structures shall be taken. Where

29、 used directly in the calculations, pressure and temperature measurements shall be recorded at the intervals specified in Clause 7.10.1.9(Replaces p. 9, May 2008)N287.7-08 Canadian Standards AssociationSeptember 20107.11 Instrumentation7.11.1 The precision and number of the instruments used in the l

30、eakage-rate test shall be determined in accordance with the following, at minimum:(a) the magnitude of the expected leakage rate;(b) the magnitude of the target leakage rate; and(c) the predicted total system error of the calculated leakage rate.7.11.2 Instrumentation for leakage-rate testing shall

31、be selected based on the criteria specified in Table 1. See Annex D for further information on selecting instrumentation.Table 1 Instrumentation selection requirements(See Clause 7.11.2.)7.11.3 Temperature measurement devices, pressure gauges, hygrometers, flowmeters, and other instruments used in c

32、onjunction with the tests shall be clearly identified with a unique number and calibrated and certified within 6 months prior to the test or at any time they are suspected of being out of calibration.7.12 Verification7.12.1 An independent means of verifying the measured leakage rate shall be used wh

33、en conducting a leakage-rate test. This may be achieved by one of the following methods:(a) a superimposed known leakage rate (see Clause 7.12.2); or(b) the use of two independent measurement systems to monitor and collect leakage-rate data (see Clause 7.12.3).7.12.2 When a superimposed known leakag

34、e rate is used as the independent verification test, the known leakage rate shall be determined by taking into consideration the expected leakage rate at the test pressure (see Clause 7.5.1) and the predicted total system error. Agreement between the known and calculated leakage rates shall be withi

35、n the total errors associated with the test, unless there is an explanation for the variance.CriterionDry bulb temperatureDewpoint temperature*Absolute pressure FlowSensor accuracy 0.6 C 1 C or 3.5% RH 0.14 kPa 2% of full scaleResolution 0.06 C 0.1 C or 0.5% RH 0.007 kPa 2% of full scaleRepeatabilit
