This Standard sets forth requirements and fidelines that may be used
28、 to ensure that active mechanical equipment is qualified for specified service conditions. As determined by federal regulators and/or nuclear power plant licensees, this Standard may be applied to future nuclear power plants, or existing operating nuclear power plant component replacements, modifica
29、tions, or additions. In the early 1970s, initial development of qualification standards was assigned to the ANSI N45 Committee. The N45 Committee in turn established a task force to prepare two series of standards to ensure that pumps and valves used in nuclear plant systems would function as specif
30、ied. The N45 Committees valve task force (N278) was reassigned in 1974 to the American National Standards Committee B16 and designated Subcommittee H. The first qualification standard to be issued for valves was ANSI N278.1-1975, which covered the preparation of functional specifications. In 1982, t
31、he task force was reassigned to the ACME Committee on Qualification of Mechanical Equipment Used in Nuclear Power Plants (QME) and designated the Subcommittee on Qualification of Valve Assemblies. As an interim measure, in 1983, ANSI B16.41 was issued to cover functional qualification requirements f
32、or power-operated active valve assemblies for nuclear power plants. The N45 Committees pump task force (N551), established in 1973, was assigned to ACME Nuclear Power Codes and Standards along with N278 as part of the Subcommittee QNPE, Qualification of Nuclear Plant Equipment. Both N551 and N278 op
33、erated as Subcommittee QNPE until 1982, when they were reassigned to the ACME Committee on Qualification of Mechanical Equipment Used in Nuclear Power Plants (QME) and designated as the Subcommittee on Qualifi- cation of Valve Assemblies and the Subcommittee on Qualification of Pump Assemblies. In J
34、une 1977, an IEEE/ASME agreement was formulated giving primary responsibility for qualification standards to IEEE and quality assurance standards to ASME. This arrangement remained in effect until ACME established the current Committee on Qualification of Mechanical Equipment Used in Nuclear Power P
35、lants. During 1985, the Committee on Qualification of Mechanical Equipment Used in Nuclear Power Plants researched the various formats this Standard could take. Based on the wide acceptance of ACME Section IIIs format for multiple classes, the Committee adopted a similar organizational format to acc
36、ommodate multiple equipment types covered by this Standard. As IEEE Standards 323 and 627 had already been in use many years for electrical equipment, these standards were also studied for appropriate content that should be addressed for mechanical equipment. Subsequently, the following Organization
37、 Guide was developed for this Standard and submitted to the ACME Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards for approval. On January 16, 1986, the Board on Nuclear Codes and Standards approved QMEs approach and outline for this Standard. Consistent with the guidance in ACME SI-9, ACME Guide for Metricatio
38、n of Codes and Standards SI (Metric Units) regarding metrication, SI units have been provided in narrative portions of QME-1 for general information only, and the U.S. Customary units are the standard. Either U.S. Customary units or SI units may be used, but one system shall be used consistently thr
39、oughout construction of the component. Should the owner or his agent desire metric units, it sili be set forth in the design specifications. The various parts of ACME QME-1-1994 were approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on the following dates: Section QP, September 22,1992; S
40、ection QR, June 8,1993; Section QR, Appendix A, October 7, 1993; Section QR, Appendix B, May 14, 1993; and Section QV and its Appendix A, February 17,1994. Section QV is a revision and redesignation of ANSI Requests for interpretation or suggestions for improvement of this Standard should be address
41、ed to the Secretary of the ASME Committee on Qualification of Mechanical Equipment B16.41-1983. vi Used in Nuclear Power Plants, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990. In 1996 the Board of Nuclear Codes and Standards requested ali committees reporti
42、ng to it to add SI (metric) units to all documents by replacing Customary (English) units with SI units or by showing SI units in a dual format with Customary units. The decision as to the extent of the conversion and format was left to the various committees. The Committee on Qualification of Mecha
43、nical Equipment for Nuclear Power Plants voted in 1996 to present SI units in the QME document, with Customary units in parentheses. A group of proposed changes was prepared at that time. The changes encountered a good deal of opposition. The Committee on Qualification of Mechanical Equipment for Nu
44、clear Power Plants revisited this decision at its February 29, 2000 meeting and voted to publish QME-1 with dual units, Customary as the primary units, with SI units in parentheses. This decision was further modified by the Committee to make the change apply to textual material only. Tables and figu
45、res were not to be modified. The changes made herein confirm with those decisions. The changes apply to the text as it appeared in the 1997 edition of QME-1. This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on October 31,2002. Vii COMMITTEE ON QUALIFICATION OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT SD PN N
