...Jong-Min Kim; Min-Chul Kim; Joon-Yeop Kwon Steam generator tubes are among the main components that form the pressure boundary of a nuclear power plant and studies of ruptures of steam generator (SG) tubes are important because they can ensure the safety of a nuclear power plant in case of a severe...

...K. K. Botros; J. Geerligs; R. J. Eiber Measurements of decompression wave speed in conventional and rich natural gas mixtures following rupture of a high-pressure pipe have been conducted. A high-pressure stainless steel rupture tube (internal diameter = 38.1 mm and 42 m long) has been constructed...

... a rupture in the pipe wall and lose its structural integrity if it is subjected to further sustained loads or deformations. Recently, laboratory tests on NPS6 steel pipes were undertaken at the University of Windsor to study the wrinkling and post-wrinkling behaviors of this NPS6 pipe when subjected...

...M. D. Pandey; A. K. Sahoo The leak-before-break (LBB) assessment of pressure tubes is intended to demonstrate that in the event of through-wall cracking of the tube, there will be sufficient time followed by the leak detection, for a controlled shutdown of the reactor prior to the rupture...
