ISO pneumatic cylinder reliability test requires air leakage measurement. Air cylinder has many parts and the leakage shall be measured before, during and after endurance test, and, the leakage should smaller than the specified value. The existing measurement method needs complex operation and the calibration of leak detector, and, has to separate the testing cylinder from endurance test device, which causes the change of contact condition of seal in the cylinder. Therefore, it is hard to evaluate the air leakage during endurance test, and guarantee the reliability of the conventional measurement method. In this paper, a new method for air leakage measurement using isothermal chamber, which does not requires calibration or temperature compensation, and, can measure air leakage accurately with quite simple operations, is proposed. As a result, reliability of air leakage measurement can be improved because the proposed method does not have to separate the testing cylinder from the endurance test device for air leakage measurement. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by error analysis of leak measurement from experimental result.

Resistive leakage current flowing ZnO blocks increases with its ages, which is an important indicator of arrester deterioration. However, a complicated circuitry is essential to measure the resistive leakage current included in the total leakage current, and the difficult handling of the measurement makes few applications to the fields. In this paper, we propose a resistive leakage current measurement device which is composed of a current detection circuit and an analysis program operated on a microprocessor. The device samples the input leakage current waveform digitally, and discriminate the zero-cross and the peak point of the waveform to analyze the current amplitude vs. phase. The capacitive leakage current is then eliminated from the total leakage current by using an algorithm to extract the resistive leakage current only. Also, the device can be operated automatically and manually to analyze the resistive leakage current even when the leakage current waveform is distorted due to various types of arrester deterioration. To estimate the performance of the device, we carried out a test on ZnO blocks and lightning arresters. From the results, it is confirmed that the device could analyze most parameters needed for the arrester diagnostics such as total leakage current. resistive leakage current, and the $3^rd$ harmonic leakage current.

In this paper, we deal with a development of measurement system to apply the leakage rates test of primary containment in nuclear power plant. The measurement test about leakage rates in primary containment is one sort of test to prove safety of nuclear power plant. The parameters which are measured to calculate leakage rates are drybulb temperature, dew point temperature(or relative humidity), absolute pressure and flow. Overall, the measurement system consists of sensor module for data acquisition of the parameters, transfer module for wireless data communication and control module to control system and to calculate leakage rates. Because existing measurement systems are difficult to set in field, we pursued convenience of use, we applied wireless data communication and individual form module using battery. We also changed for the better in confidence. Recently, we are developing a drybulb temperature and a dew point temperature sensor module. We describe about function of developed measurement system, its standard and an plan for verification of measurement system.

Local heating transportation pipe has sensor and return lines to detect water-leakage. There are impulse and resistance comparison measurement types for a water-leakage detection. The impulse type shows large detection error within a measurement range. Since the resistance comparison type can find a comparative accurate single water-leakage point in the measurement range of heating pipe, it has been used to detect water-leakages these days. However if the multi water-leakages are happened in the measurement range of transportation pipe. the resistance comparison type shows a detection error point by the parallel resistance between a detection sensor line and ground. But the detection error will be minimized by the divided transportation pipe loops. In this research, it suggests the design of remote controlled detection system which can divide a large pipe loop and a possible single water-leakage measurement process in each divided loops.

In this study, a measurement method of leakage flow-rate for pneumatic driving apparatus is proposed. The existing measurement methods of leakage flow-rate of air need disassemble the test component. Therefore, there is no effective method to measure the leakage flow-rate while operating pneumatic driving apparatus. In this study, the leakage flow-rate is measured from the pressure change in an isothermal chamber that can realize isothermal conditions by stuffing the steel wool into it. Therefore, a wide range of flow-rate could be measured only from the pressure response and the leakage flow-rate can be measured during operating pneumatic driving apparatus. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by experimental results.

This paper describes the measurement result of leakage current flowing arresters connected in feeder lines to propose an optimal management method. Twenty seven arresters set in seven areas were analyzed on a regular basis for 4 months. The results showed that the RMS and the peak value of the total leakage currents for soundness arresters were a range of $200uA{\sim}00uA$. respectively. During the period of measurement, the magnitude of the leakage current didn't show conspicious changes and there were impossible places to analyze arrester's status due to including high THD rate in a feeder line, From the study, leakage current measurement has to be performed at a condition without running an electric train in the line, and the allowable RMS value of soundness arrester is bellow 600uA.

This study was experimentally performed in order to estimate the errors due to the leakage of transmitter gaugelines in the orifice flow meter for natural gas. It would be a serious problem in safety if a large quantity of leak was occurred at the tubes or fittings like valve. But in most cases the safety problems might be rarely happened because the gas leak detectors could be operated in advance and the various kinds of inspection would be also fulfilled periodically. If the leakage was occurred continuously with an undetectable amount at the gaugelines for measuring the pressure or the differential pressure(DP), the amount of leakage might be an error or an unaccounted flow(UAE). In addition if the measuring value of pressure or DP were affected by the leakage, it might also be a measurement error. The experiments were performed to estimate the amount of leakage and to check the DP changes if it exited. First, through the measurement of the air pressure changes in the airtight container connected to a transmitter with gaugelines as the time passed, the amount of leakage causing from the fittings of gaugelines was roughly estimated. As changing the leak position of the gaugeline, the leak was intentionally made to break out. The variance of DP was checked as controlling the extent of leakage and compared to no leak conditions. Consequently, under the normal maintenance conditions, the result represented that the amount of leakage causing from the gaugelines was insignificant and also the DP changes on leakage conditions were too small to cause the errors of measurements.

Resistive leakage current following arresters is an important indicator of ageing, but total leakage current and its harmonic analysis are widely used in diagnosing arrester soundness because of difficulties in measuring resistive leakage current. In this paper, we proposed a new method for measuring resistive leakage current, which is quite different from the conventional methods such as a self-cancel method and a synchronous rectification method. The proposed method is based on that the magnitudes of resistive leakage currents are equal at the same voltage level. To confirm the possibility of the proposed method. we fabricated a leakage current measurement device and designed an analysis program that can analyze resistive leakage current. Comparing with other methods. this technique does not need a complex circuitry and is very simple to complete.

We aim to evaluate safety of radiation by measuring leakage dose and patient(phantom) incident dose of ZEN-PX II dental portable equipment developed by G company. Measurement for leakage dose of equipment is conducted on the top, at the bottom, on the left, on the right and at the back. Dose measurement incident on the subject with the area dosimeter when using the phantom and measurement the leakage dose of equipment when using the phantom are evaluated. Comparing the right with the highest leakage dose as a 0 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm dose measurement at the measurement height of 100 cm, 64.2 uR was reduced to 47.3 uR in the senser mode 0.32sec. Even in film mode it was measured at 414.4 uR and about 27% lower at 162.6 uR. As the result of this study, when the irradiation time is 2 sec the right side dose is 290.5 uR and sensor mode is 0.32 sec the right side dose is 64.2 uR.
