PCI, with the help of the Sure-Flow® Strainer Team, can offer the following Test Protocols to help qualify your strainer to comply with GSI-191:
Large Flume Test Protocol: PCI’s proprietary large flume test incorporating debris settlement
Small Flume Test Protocol: LFTP offered in the small flume with small scale strainer
Tank Test Protocol: Scaled test performed with mixing energy to suspend debris in the flow stream
CVPL (Closed Vertical Pipe Loop): Testing facility for parametric studies, etc.
Any of these testing protocols can be used to help qualify your current strainer, no matter which vendor supplied it.
Joining PCI in the Sure-Flow® Strainer team are AREVA NP, Inc. and Alden Research Laboratory, Inc. The Sure-Flow® Strainer Team has been collaborating to provide ECCS/CSS Sump compliance solutions since 1996. PCI has and can work with other engineering companies familiar with your design basis as well. In addition to the testing protocols listed above, the SFS Team can offer Debris Generation analysis, Debris Transport analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis, In-Vessel testing, and Other Down Stream Evaluations (DSE) for GSI-191. |
