Nuclear Switch Test Programme Nuclear Product Qualification Instrumentation used in the Nuclear Island of a Nuclear Power Plant are required to survive seismic and radiation exposure of different severity levels depending on the location on the plant and the application. Seismic Delta has subjected various instruments to testing regimes that meet the requirements of IEEE Standard 323-1974, IEEE Standard 344-1975 and the RCC-E Code (Design and Construction Rules for Electrical Equipment of Nuclear Islands) . This qualification involved the accelerated ageing of the products (thermal aging,...

Nuclear Switch Test Programme Seismic Qualification In separate test programmes Delta’s products were seismically tested using the random multi-frequency (RMF) test requirements of Standard IEEE 344-1975/1987 and were subjected to tri-axial RMF test levels as shown below, and also to the spectra as defined in the RCC-E Code Seismic SSE Test Levels (OBE 70% SSE) 12 Delta Switches being seismically tested at the SOPEMEA test facility in France to the RCC-E seismic spectra LOCA/HELB Accident Simulation Following the aging programme and the seismic tests the products were subjected to a HELB...

Fast Response Temperature Switch 720 Series Fast reaction air temperature switches are used throughout a nuclear power plant to detect sudden rises in ambient temperature. Delta has optimised the design of this product to react very quickly to temperature change and can provide fast early warning of possible problems in the plant. This model consists of a sensing element manufactured from thin walled copper tube filled with a volatile fluid. By keeping the length to diameter ratio high, the surface area of the sensing element is maximised achieving a faster response to temperature changes...

Air Flow Transmitter / Switch The 588 Series of Flow Transmitters and Switches have been used in a variety of applications in the nuclear industry including HVAC systems and other air flow ducting where positive measurement of Flow is critical for plant and personnel safety. The latest variant of the Flow Transmitter has an integrated switch for simple alarm applications. The Transmitter is also under assessment to SIL 1 levels under the EMPHASIS assessment process. Flow rates from 0.8 m/s and up to 38.5 m/s Small bore diameter flow transmitters are also available SIGNAL CONNECTOR...
