이미 오래전부터 국내외에서 석유화학공장 등의 보온 배관에서 보온재를 벗기지 않고 배관의 부식 손상 및 잔존두께를 평가하는데 방사선투과시험법을 적용해 오고 있다. 그러나 배관 용접부의 결함 탐상에 관한 방사선투과법에 대한 국제 및 국내 코드는 이미 마련되어 있지만 배관의 두께와 내부에 존재하는 부착물(deposit) 등의 두께를 측정하는 것에 관련한 국제 및 국내 코드는 미비되어 시험 절차 및 시험 결과에 대한 시비가 근본적으로 존재할 수 밖에 없을 뿐만 아니라 표준화된 시험 기술의 미비로 현장에서 많은 시행착오를 동반하였다. 그러나 최근 이 시험법에 대한 관련 원안(protocol)을 확정하기 위해 각국에서 개별적으로 수행되었던 기존의 연구 결과들이 취합되고 있으며 부족한 부분들에 대한 연구가 국제 공동 연구 형식으로 이뤄지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 tangential radiography를 적용하여 보온된 배관의 잔존 두께를 평가할 수 있는 시험 방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

The door impact beam of the side-impacted vehicle plays a key role in securing occupant safety by preventing intrusion from the impacting vehicle. Despite the low production cost, the press door impact beam has been adopted sparingly because of the strength inferiority. In this study, the design technologies of the press beam aimed at improving bending strength were investigated. First, the effect of the section shape and size was examined. Next, thickness and material strength were increased. Also, the TRB beam application was simulated by varying combined thickness. Some TRB beams with reduced weight exhibited bending strength over the strength of the pipe beam. Then, the beam with a closed center section also showed remarkably enhanced maximum bending strength.

Ultra high pressure system, which can be generally increased over 1,000bar, needs to have sealing mechanism to protect leakage and selection of the materials used in the intensifier. Components such as pressure vessel, hydraulic hose assembly, accumulator, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve, pipe, etc., are tested under the impulse-pressure conditions. Components need to be tested under 1.5 to 3 times of rated pressure to check the tolerance even though rated pressure range of these components are not ultra high pressure. So, the ultra high pressure system needs to be equiped to test components. In this study, safety assessments of ultra high pressure system which are using failure analysis of components, changing the types of the control system, and finite element analysis with static condition, are investigated.

A numerical experiment on the effective discharge of waste materials caused in recirculating aquaculture basins was performed. The numerical model used in this study was a 4-level hydrodynamic and advection-diffusion model. Flow structures and settling processes of ss in the various mathematical model basins are discussed. The calculated flow fields of the numerical basin corresponded well with the measured velocity in field basin. In the cases of steep bottom slopes in 4/30, the non-dimensional tractive force($U{\ast}/U{\ast}_c$) which is all important parameter for the deposition pattern of waste materials was stronger than with the mild slope one. The settling pattern of ss depended considerably on the degree of bottom slope of basin. To concentrate deposited waste materials into the center discharge pipe, it is useful to design a cylindrical basin with a steeply conical bottom. In addition, to prevent movement of the deposit area away from the center, it is necessary to locate the circulating ducts at diametrically opposed points on the basin sides.

The experimental and numerical study has been conducted on the sleeve repair welding of API 5L X65 pipeline. SMA W and GTAW were applied to weld the sleeve. The macrostructure and hardness of repair welds have been examined. The [mite element analysis of the multi-pass sleeve-fillet welding has been conducted to validate the experiment and investigate the effects of in-service welding conditions. The effect of gas flow rate on the hydrogen cracking was investigated. The effect of internal pressure on residual stresses and plastic strain was investigated. The allowable heat input was predicted considering the maximum temperature of inner surface of pipe and cooling rate at CGHAZ.

The resistance of the linepipe steel to hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC) is very important for steel to be used in sour oil/gas environments. Welding of steels is necessary to the construction of pipe-line transporting oil/gas. In this study, HIC and SSC resistance of an electric resistance welded (ERW) steel plate which belongs to API X70 grade was evaluated by using NACE TM0284-96A and NACE TM0177-96A methods. HIC and SSC fracturing behavior was investigated by observing fractured surfaces using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was discussed in terms of metallurgical parameters such as the distribution of primary microstructure, second phases and inclusions. Results showed that the weld joint of ERW steel is more sensitive than base metal to HIC and SSC. This is due to difference in the contribution of metallurgical parameters to HIC and SSC nucleation and propagation.

The leak-before-break (LBB) behaviors of a structural component under high and low fatigue loads are an important problem in nuclear power plants, liquid nitrogen gas tankers and chemical plants. This paper is an experimental study to evaluate the crack opening behavior after penetration for plate and pipe specimens. Crack opening displacement after penetration under low fatigue load could be satisfactorily determined at the center of the plate thickness regardless of the specimen size. In the case of high fatigue load, it is shown that the crack opening displacement at the center of a penetrated crack carl be derived using the gross stress, $\sigma$/sug G/, and the front surface crack length, a$\_$s/, together with the back surface crack length, a$\_$b/.

In onshore and offshore plant engineering, a broad use of pipe system have been achieved and accordingly related technologies has been developed especially in the field of flow control valves. The aim of this study is to suggest the quadruple offset butterfly valve for bi-directional applications which show equivalent operating torque characteristics of the triple offset butterfly valve. Seat design parameters for the quadruple offset butterfly valve are determined by the proposed method utilizing both ANOVA (analysis of variance) and the orthogonal array. Through additive model considering the effect of design parameters on seating torque, mean estimation is performed and thus its optimization results are verified by design of experiment results. The insight obtained from the present study is beneficial for valve design engineers to develop reliable and integrated design of the quadruple offset butterfly valve.

Single flighted screw extrusion is the most cost effective method for the production of film, sheet, pipe and the fundamental step in other processes including blow molding and injection molding The temperature and injection pressure in barrel play a very important role in quality of products. Because thermal distortion and displacement of barrel by temperature difference and injection pressure difference cause irregular resine melting and flow. In this paper thermal distortion and stress of barrel includes pressure and temperature distributions by finite element analysis to understand dynamic characteristics of barrel.

The ejector system is used for making a vacuum in an enclosed tank. This research represents the method to improve ejector performance by inserting a strut at the center of ejector outlet. This proposed ejector system is so simple and have a low cost to improve the ejector performance. There are many kinds of method for obtaining a lower vacuum pressure. The ejector is consists of nozzle, straight pipe and outlet diffuser and we focused on the outlet diffuser for high ejector performance. The strut is located at the center of ejector outlet diffuser. As the experimental result, we compared the vacuum pressure with and without a strut and without strut, and the ejector performance showed an improvement with 40% or more than the case without strut. This means that the stable fluid low energy loss was obtained by inserting the strut.
