Abstract

This paper examined the structure, fire resistance of brass fittings type CSST employed in gas appliances and the reliability verification. Brass fittings of type CSST consisted of cladding, tubing, nut, clamp ring, socket, and ball valve. The applicable JIA standard regulates the maximum working pressure to be 4.2 kPa, which is the highest pressure of the relevant standards and the KS D 3625 stipulates the maximum pressure to be 3.24 kPa. With a normal product, the average resistance within the confidence interval was found to be $7.36m{\Omega}$. The average resistance within the confidence interval was $6.67m{\Omega}$ after the fire resistance tests. The analysis indicated that the AD was 1.584 and the standard deviation was 0.3972 with respect of a normal product. Compared to the normal product, however, the damaged product after the fire resistance test showed better features, such as an AD of 1.145 and a standard deviation of 0.2467. Moreover, the average resistance of the normal product was $7.359m{\Omega}$ and the standard deviation in histogram analysis was 0.3972. The average resistance of the damaged product after the fire resistance test in the histogram was $6.67m{\Omega}$ and the standard deviation was 0.2467.

본 논문에서는 연소기에 사용되는 황동이음쇠형 CSST의 구조, 난연성 및 신뢰성 검증을 실시하였다. 황동이음쇠형 CSST는 보호 피막, 튜브, 너트, 클램프 링, 소켓, 볼 밸브 등으로 구성되어 있다. CSST의 적용 범위는 JIA가 4.2 kPa로 가장 높고, KS D 3625는 3.24 kPa이다. 정상 제품에 대한 신뢰 구간의 평균 저항은 $7.36m{\Omega}$으로 해석되었다. 난연성 실험이 완료된 후 신뢰 구간의 평균 저항은 $6.67m{\Omega}$이다. 정상 제품에 대한 AD는 1.584이며, 표준 편차는 0.3972로 해석되었다. 그리고 난연성 실험이 완료된 소손된 제품의 AD는 1.145이고, 표준 편차는 0.2467로 정상 제품에 비해 양호한 것으로 해석되었다. 또한 히스토그램 분석에서 정상 제품의 저항 평균은 $7.359m{\Omega}$이고, 표준 편차는 0.3972이었다. 그리고 난연성 실험이 완료된 후의 히스토그램의 저항 평균은 $6.67m{\Omega}$이며, 표준 편차는 0.2467이다.
