1 Proceedings of the National Seminar & Exhibition on Non-Destructive Evaluation NDE 2011, December 8-10, 2011 QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR TUBE TO TUBESHEET JOINTS AND SHELL WELD JOINTS OF STRAIGHT TUBE DESIGN DECAY HEAT EXCHANGERS FOR 500MWE PROTOTYPE FAST BREEDER REACTOR Aravinda Pai 1, T.K.Mitra 2, S.Prasath 3, S.Athmalingam 4, T.Loganathan 5 and Prabhat Kumar 6 1,2,3,5,6 Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited (BHAVINI) Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Project 4 Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) Department of Atomic Energy, Kalpakkam , Tamilnadu, India ABSTRACT Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) is a 500MWe pool type sodium cooled nuclear reactor, which is presently under construction at Kalpakkam. India. Nuclear decay heat generated in the core after reactor shutdown has to be removed to avoid core melt down and maintain the structural integrity of the reactor components. As per the safety guidelines, failure probability of decay heat removal function shall be less than 10-7 /ry. In order to achieve this value, highly reliable Safety Grade Decay Heat Removal (SGDHR) system is provided in PFBR. Decay Heat Exchanger (DHX) which is a part of SGDHR system has to be designed and manufactured with stringent specification requirements to achieve high reliability. Decay Heat Exchanger is a vertical, shell and tube type, counter flow, sodium to sodium heat exchanger in which heat from the radioactive primary sodium is transferred to non-radioactive intermediate sodium in SGDHR circuit. Austenitic SS316LN material is selected as principal material of construction for DHX. As operating temperature is high and DHX forms part of SGDHR circuit, very high degree of reliability against failure is emphasized during design, material selection and manufacturing. To enhance the reliability, specification for SGDHR circuit components are made stringent compared to specification used in other industrial applications. The tube bundle of DHX consists of 108 nos. of seamless tubes of OD24mmX1mm wall thickness, rolled & welded at either end with top & bottom tubesheets by autogenous pulsed Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process. During material procurement, ultrasonic test is done on the entire length of each tube in accordance with ASME Sec.III Class I. In addition, each tube is subjected to hydro test as per PFBR specification to ensure integrity of tubes before component manufacture. The tube to tubesheet joints is subjected to various examinations and testing at different stages of manufacture for quality assurance. After completion of tube bundle assembly, shell integration is carried out by GTAW process. Each production weld joints of shells are subjected to thorough Visual Examination, Liquid Penetrant Examination (LPE) and Radiography Examination (RE). In case radiography is not possible, layer by layer LPE and Ultrasonic Examination (UE) is carried out to evaluate soundness of the welds. After completion of manufacture, the tube side of DHX undergoes pneumatic testing and Helium leak testing to ensure integrity. This paper details the quality control and quality assurance for the tube to tubesheet joints and shell weld joints of Decay Heat Exchangers for 500MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor. Keywords: Tube to Tubesheet Joint; Quality Assurance; Safety Grade Decay Heat Removal System; Decay Heat Exchanger; INTRODUCTION PFBR is provided with two independent and diverse Decay Heat Removal (DHR) systems viz., Operating Grade Decay Heat Removal System (OGDHRS) and Safety Grade Decay Heat Removal System (SGDHRS). OGDHRS utilizes the secondary sodium loops and steam water system for decay heat removal. In order to improve the reliability of DHR function, a passive Safety Grade Decay Heat Removal System (Figure-1) containing four independent loops of each 8MWt heat removal capacity is provided. Two SGDHR loops are provided with straight tube design sodium to sodium heat exchanger which is called as Decay Heat Exchanger (DHX- Type A) and serpentine tube design sodium to air heat exchanger which is called as Air Heat Exchanger (AHX-Type A). The other two loops are having diversity in design to avoid common cause failure during reactor operation. These two loops consists of U tube design DHX-Type B & straight tube design AHX-Type B. Driving force for the natural convection flow is obtained by the elevation difference between DHX and AHX of ~41 m and by a stack of height 30m over AHX. Decay Heat Exchanger is a very important component of
2 NDE 2011, December 8-10, Fig. 1 : Safety Grade Decay Heat Removal System Circuit diagram and DHX configuration reactor, as it transfers the heat from radioactive primary sodium to non-radioactive intermediate circuit sodium. Heat from the intermediate circuit sodium is rejected to atmospheric air through AHX. The specification requirements are stringent to ensure high degree of reliability for the design service life of 40 years. DESCRIPTION OF DECAY HEAT EXCHANGERS (TYPE A) Decay Heat Exchanger (Figure-1) is supported on roof slab in the reactor assembly inside the Reactor Containment Building (RCB) and is dipped in hot pool primary sodium of the reactor. DHX is a vertical, shell and tube type, counter flow, sodium to sodium heat exchanger. The major material of construction for DHX is austenitic stainless steel of type 316LN. This is a low carbon stainless steel chosen to ensure freedom from sensitization during welding of the components. This steel has excellent mechanical & creep properties and has good compatibility with liquid sodium coolant. The DHX tube bundle consists of 108 nos. of seamless tubes of OD24mmX1 mm wall thickness arranged in a circular pitch. The tubes are rolled & welded to top & bottom tubesheets. The primary hot sodium flows from top to bottom on the shell side and intermediate sodium flows on the tube side. The tube bundle shell is perforated for a height of 1.76m at the primary sodium inlet to enable primary sodium flow on the shell side even if there is a fall in hot pool sodium level due to unexpected sodium leak incident if any in the reactor. Tubes are held at regular intervals by anti vibration belts to minimize the phenomenon of flow induced vibration. A small bend on each tube is provided at the top to accommodate differential thermal expansion among tubes. QUALITY ASSURANCE OF TUBE TO TUBESHEET JOINTS The tubes, tubesheets and tube to tubesheet joints which separates radioactive primary sodium and non-radioactive intermediate sodium are the most critical items in DHX. The raw materials for tubes and tubesheets were produced by electric arc melting process with tight control on inclusion content. High quality control in inclusion content during melting process helps in achieving sound weld joint between tube & tubesheet during autogenous welding process. Decay Heat Exchanger consists of 36mm thick top & bottom tubesheets in which tube holes are drilled in a circular pitch. Each hole is provided with two inside grooves at a distance of 10mm & 20mm from the inner face of tubesheets for additional longitudinal load resistance of tubes. The tubes are rolled & seal welded to tubesheets at both the ends. The specification requirements and acceptance criteria for tube to tubesheet joints are stringent. The strength rolling (7-10% thinning) of tubes is carried out during which expanded tubes grips inside the grooves. This arrangement also acts as a mechanical seal for arresting the entry of primary sodium into the gap between the tube OD & tubesheet hole. Thus, deep crevices are eliminated in the design by strength rolling of tubes in the tubesheets. Face grooves are machined with tight tolerances on face of each hole on the tubesheet which provides a thinner section for seal/lip welding to get the desired weld profile. This also helps in minimizing the heat input required for seal welding and makes a perfect fusion of the base materials (tube & tubesheet). Even though conventional heat exchanger tube to tubesheet joints are executed first by welding and then rolling, PFBR tube to tubesheet joints were done first by rolling by using

Fig. 3 : Helium leak testing of tube to tubesheets mechanical tube expanders and then single pass seal welding by automatic pulsed TIG welding process without addition of filler wire (Figure-2). This is to avoid probable stresses induced in the welds during tube expansion step which may result in subsequent failure of the weld joints during transient reactor operating conditions. The automatic welding process ensures repeatability & consistency in quality of tube to tubesheet weld joints. The process parameters of welding include pre purge time, up slope, speed of welding, down slope, post purge time. The weld quality with respect to shape and soundness are controlled by process parameters. The process of rolling & welding is qualified in a qualification block simulating job conditions before starting this process on the actual job. The expanded tubes in the qualification block are subjected to pullout tests at room temperature. The rolled tubes are longitudinally sectioned and subjected to hardness survey, check for % thinning, thorough visual examination for scratches, cracks, peels etc., and micro examination for the smooth transition of rolled region to the unrolled region. Tube to tubesheet seal welding is carried out by autogenous pulsed TIG process after rolling. The seal weld is subjected for visual examination, Helium Leak Test (HLT) and floroscent LPE as per ASTM E-165 type-1, method C for examination of lack of fusion at the edge of hole in the tubesheet, surface pores, cavities, cracks etc. After completion of non-destructive examinations, the pullout test is repeated on the expanded & welded tubes and few welded tubes are sectioned for micro & macro examination. The mean dimension of the throat shall not be less than 0.9t and no individual throat dimension shall be less than 0.66t, Table 1 : Acceptance criteria of tube to tubesheet weld joints Test / Parameter Acceptance Examination Standard Visual/profile Lack of fusion at the edge of the hole in tubesheet Surface pores, cavities Cracks Weld bead & weld surface Uniform & smooth Floroscent Indications in the weld LPE (as per ASTM E-165 For zone adjoining weld type-1, method C) metal: indication >1.5mm and indication<1.5mm if they are less than 3mm apart Helium Leak Local leak 10-8 Pa-m 3 /s Testing (as per PFBR Global leak 10-7 Pa-m 3 /s specification) where t is tube wall thickness. Macro examination is done at 20X on the cut sections to verify that there are no cracks at base of the weld bead. The weld is ground off starting from the top and a micro examination is done at 100X for every 0.2mm till the base metal is reached to check the porosities/ inclusions. Cracks on the welds are not permitted. The minimum porosities/inclusions are tolerated only if the
4 NDE 2011, December 8-10, difference between major diameter of weld and the sum of diameter of porosities/inclusions shall be greater than 0.66t and any case no pore diameter shall be greater than 0.2mm in maximum dimension. Rolled tubes on the actual job are subjected to thorough visual examination and check for specified % thinning. After the seal welding, visual inspection, floroscent LPE and Helium leak testing (Figure-3) are done on the production tube to tubesheet joints. The non-destructive examinations and testing requirements on production joints are stringent. Acceptance criteria of tube to tubesheet weld joints are given in Table 1. All specification requirements were met during tube to tubesheet welding procedure qualification and during fabrication on the actual job. HELIUM LEAK TESTING OF TUBE TO TUBESHEET JOINTS Nothing man made is truly leak tight. So there is a necessity to establish & specify a practical leakage rate that is acceptable for a component under test. The end purpose of leak testing is to ensure reliability and serviceability of component to prevent premature failure of systems containing fluids under pressure/ vacuum. As a part of quality assurance program of DHX, Helium leak testing is carried out at tube bundle stage to ensure leak tightness of tube to tubesheet joints before proceeding with further fabrication. HLT trials were conducted on the mock up for evaluating the leak tightness of rolled/expanded tube to tubesheet joints before seal welding. As rolled/ expanded joints (without seal welding) itself found to be leak tight, it was extremely challenging task to evaluate the leak tightness of seal weld (after rolling). Special fixtures were designed & developed for bombarding the Helium on rolled & welded tube to tubesheet joint from outside. Subsequently, HLT is performed for the seal weld by vacuum method. After successful completion of above trials, HLT is carried out on the production joints. The leak rate achieved after expansion as well as after seal welding of tube to tubesheet joints found to be less than 10-8 Pa-m 3 /s which is meeting the specification requirement. The above exercise and quality assurance has given highest confidence on leak tightness and reliability of tube to tubesheet joints. QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR THE WELD JOINTS OF COMPONENTS/SHELLS After completion of tube bundle activities, shell assembly is carried out for top & bottom portion. The welding of DHX shells/components is done only by Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) even though Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process is permitted as per specification to ensure highest degree of cleanliness & quality. Before welding, LPE is carried out for Weld Edge Preparation (WEP) of the shells to ensure no surface defects. The welding procedure is qualified with stringent destructive and nondestructive examinations & testing before executing welding on the actual job. The qualification test coupons are subjected to all the non-destructive examinations applied in fabrication of actual job. As per specification, qualification weld joints shall be subjected to thorough visual examination, LPE, radiography examination, longitudinal tensile test at room temperature, transverse tensile test at room temperature and elevated temperature, bend tests (root, face & side), Charpy U notch impact test, delta ferrite content test, IGC and metallographic examination for the complete transverse section of the weld. Thorough visual examination, root and final pass LPE and 100% radiography examination is done for all the possible production weld joints. In case radiography for the production weld joint is not possible, the quality of the weld joint is evaluated by ultrasonic examination. Specification requirements were met during various welding procedure qualification with excellent test results. The mechanical test results observed during welding procedure qualifications were much more than the minimum requirement. Bend tests results were found to be satisfactory. No re-rolling is permitted as per specification after welding on the components which may induce un-quantified stresses on weld joints. Production test coupons are welded for every 20m of production weld length for each type of weld joint adapting same process parameters of job welds to control & monitor the quality of welds. The production test coupon undergoes all the destructive and non-destructive examinations & testing carried out during procedure qualification. The QA, QC and inspection stages are covered in a systematic manner on base materials as well as weld materials at various stages and are critically documented.

5 506 Aravinda Pai et.al : Proceedings of the National Seminar & Exhibition on Non-Destructive Evaluation PNEUMATIC TEST AND HELIUM LEAK TEST FOR DHX On completion of DHX fabrication, the tube side is subjected to pneumatic test (Figure-4) at 7.8 bars gauge pressure for minimum of 10 minutes hold time to check the integrity of component. The double envelope of intermediate sodium inletoutlet portion is subjected to pneumatic test at bar gauge pressure. No drop in pressure is acceptable. All the accessible welds are subjected to soap bubble test. No leak is acceptable during the test. After completion of pneumatic test, DHX tube side is subjected to Helium leak test under vacuum as per PFBR specification during which global leak rate shall not be more than 10-7 Pa-m 3 /s and local leak rate shall not be more than 10-8 Pa-m 3 /s. CONCLUSION Enhanced reliability of welded components can be achieved mainly through quality control and quality assurance procedures in addition to design, adequate appreciation of materials & their weldabilities, properties of welding consumables and characteristics of welding processes. The diverse and redundant inspections in terms of both operator and technique are required for components where zero failure is desired & claimed. Very high standard quality control and quality assurance during material procurement, welding, fabrication and testing has given high confidence for trouble free service from Decay Heat Exchangers for the design service life of 40 years.
