Water defect insertion

Most of the AHoy 600 outer diameter tube corrosion has occurred in the region of the upper tubesheet near the open lane, ie, an untubed lane across the middle of the steam generator (16,17). The steam carries entrained droplets of water through the open lane to the upper tubesheet region where the droplets dry out and concentrate the chemicals. Long tube inserts have been used to sleeve tubes in this region where wall defects have been detected. 

There is the correlation between water and OH" - groups content, ionic conductivity and catalytic activity of compound, Figure 1, Table 1. The data shows that the concentration of OH" - groups tends to increase in the order 1>2>3>4>5. In this order increases the catalytic activity too (value K, Table 1). This difference in the activity between samples seems to be related to the difference in the OH" - group content and Mn3+/Mn4+ concentration. This means that increasing of structure defects may lead to increasing of activity of compound. Additional structure distortion has been obtained in modified sample by insertion of small amount of ions of alkaline metals (sample JV° 4). 

Adding vacuum chambers to compression molding equipment in recent years has reduced the number of defects caused by trapped air or water in the molding compound, resulting in higher-quality finished parts. Another relatively new improvement has been the addition of various forms of automation to the process. For example, robots are used both to install inserts and remove finished parts.

As the result defects in K positions increase and the unit cell parameters change. In some case, the water inserts in 2 KF block to form additional net, and 3 KF blocks are formed. There occurs the phase III. These chemical reactions can work concurrently. If the structure loses K and F ions completely the amorphous phase is formed. 

Rehabilitation of pipes by CIPP, with thermoset polyester resins and polyester felt, usually requires satisfying predetermined specificalions for both materials and installation. With CIPP, a tubular hner is saturated with a resin, which is then inserted into the damaged pipe and cured via heat and/or ambient or ultra violet light. The pipe defect is initially identified and located, usually by means of a closed circuit television survey or PIG. The resin saturated liner is then inserted into the pipe and inflated against the wall of the pipe by air or water pressure. The resin cures and hardens into a smooth structure and a new composite pipe is created within the old pipe. The materials used to manufacture the components are chosen to suit the function of the repaired pipeline. The combination of the hner, resin, the method of installation and the chosen curing method will determine the overall quality of the end product.
