  • Patent number: 7559251
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for forming thermal fatigue cracks in a test piece for performance demonstration of nondestructive testing. The apparatus for forming thermal fatigue cracks includes a heating unit, having a conductive member attached around the outer surface of a pipe test piece and an induction heating coil disposed adjacent to the conductive member; a cooling unit, having a cooling water pump for forcibly supplying cooling water to the inner surface of the pipe test piece from a cooling water storage source and a cooling water hose; and a control unit for controlling operation of the heating unit and the cooling unit. Accordingly, thermal fatigue cracks similar to actual thermal fatigue cracks occurring during the operation of nuclear power plants or processing industry equipment are formed in a test piece, thereby assuring effective performance demonstration of nondestructive testing.

  • Publication number: 20070262075
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device and method, preventing water from leaking to the outside of a multiple wall pipe, or a hollow part in a pipe wall, and forcibly correcting differences in inside and outside diameters between pipes provided on opposite ends of a joint, and simultaneously correcting circularity of the pipe. The heat plate includes a disc, a circular groove provided on an outer surface of a side of the disc and having a V-shaped cross-section with a flat bottom, and a heat source inserted in the disc. A method of joining a multiple wall pipe includes inserting an end of the cut multiple wall pipe into a V-shaped groove of the heat plate, heating and fusing the end of the cut multiple wall pipe by applying electricity to the heat plate, and compressing and cooling the cut multiple wall pipe after the heat plate is removed.
