A1 - Otremba, Frank T1 - Rail tank car total containment fire testing: planning & test development N2 - Given the frequent incidences of Non-Accident Releases (NARs) of hazardous materials from tank cars, there in an increasing interest in transporting hazardous materials in total containment conditions (i.e., no pressure relief devices). However, the ability of tank cars to meet thermal protection requirements provided in the Code of Federal Regulations under conditions of total containment has not been established. Also, the modeling tool commonly used by industry to evaluate thermal protection, AFFTAC, has not been validated under these conditions. The intent of this effort was to evaluate through a series of third-scale fire tests, the ability of tank cars to meet the thermal protection requirements under total containment conditions, and also, to validate AFFTAC for such conditions. This paper describes the test design and planning effort associated with this research, including the design and evaluation of a fire test setup to simulate a credible, fully engulfing, pool fire that is consistent and repeatable, and the design and hydro-static testing of a third-scale tank specimen. The fire design includes controls on the spatial distribution and temperature variation of the flame temperature, the heat flux, and the radiative balance, to best reflect large liquid hydrocarbon pool fire conditions that may be experienced during derailment scenarios.

Liquids or gases can escape by leakage or permeation effects from these plastic containers. The German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) conducted prior research which showed that the lower explosion limit can be reached when transporting dangerous goods in sea-freight containers under normal transportation situations. The presented study is motivated based on these findings. The research objective of this study is to analyze the transportation situation of dangerous goods in cargo compartments of commercial airplanes. The scope of this paper is to present the experimental method used for validating a numerical model for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations and to present some simulation results of the mass transport of dangerous goods in the cargo compartment. The velocity profiles and the mass transport is calculated using numerical simulations and measured by Laser-Doppler-Anemometry (LDA) experiments. The mock-up is a generic model of a wide-body aircraft lower deck cargo compartment in a 1: 10 scale. Geometry, air exchange rates and inlet as well as outlet flow conditions in the cargo compartment are modeled using realistic boundary conditions. The commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code ANSYS CFX 14 is used for numerical flow simulations applying RANS (Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes) equations and turbulence models. The turbulence models studied are the renormalization group k-e-model (RNG), the BSL-Reynolds-Stress model (BSL) and the SST-k-co-model by Menter (SST). The flow measurement with LDA in the mock-up of a cargo compartment proves to be a feasible method for producing data to validate CFD simulations. Qualitative evaluation of the results shows a good overall agreement between numerical and experimental results. The experimental validation indicates that the implemented CFD model is capable of reproducing the flow situation in the model mock-up T2 - ICCEE 2015 - International conference on civil engineering and environmental engineering CY - Tokyo, Japan DA - 03.02.2015 PY - 2015 SP - 1 EP - 8 AN - OPUS4-32585 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Sklorz, Christian A1 - Otremba, Frank A1 - Reich, Franziska T1 - Limit load analysis of pressurized containers N2 - Limit load analysis is a well known method to calculate the allowable design pressure of container components. A limit load of a pressurized container is achieved, when the stress of a wall and the flow stress are equal. In the following paper the transferability of limit load analysis from small scale tank containers up to large scale containers (railway tank) are investigated. Finite element calculations are carried out and compared with experimental results. It can be concluded that the limit load analysis works very well. Furthermore, the yield strength of the material should be used as flow stress.

A1 - Otremba, Frank A1 - Sklorz, Christian T1 - Comparison between analytical and finite element calculation for pressurized container N2 - The prediction of the plastic collapse load of cylindrical pressure vessels is very often made by using expensive Finite Element Computations. The calculation of the collapse load requires an elastic-plastic material model and the consideration of non-linear geometry effects. The plastic collapse load causes overalls structural instability and cannot be determined directly from a finite element analysis. The ASME (2007) code recommends that the collapse load should be the load for which the numerical solution does not converge. This load can be only determined approximately if a expensive nonlinear analysis consisting of a very large number of sub steps is done. The last load sub step leading to a convergent solution will be taken as the critical load for the structure. In the instability regime no standard finite element solution can be found because of the lack of convergence of the numerical procedure. Other methods for the calculation of the allowable pressure proposed by the ASME code are the elastic stress analysis and the limit load analysis. In the present paper the plastic collapse load for a cylindrical pressure vessel is determined by an analytical method based on a linear elastic perfectly plastic material model. When plasticity occurs the material is considered as incompressible and the tensor of plastic strains is parallel to the stress deviator tensor. In that case the finite stress-strain relationships of Henkel can be used for calculating the pressure for which plastic flow occurs at the inside of the vessel wall or in the case of full plasticity in the wall. The analytical results are fully confirmed by finite element predictions both for axisymmetric and high costs three dimensional models. The analytical model can be used for fast predictions of the allowable load for the design of a large variety of pressure vessels under safety considerations. The accuracy of the predicted collapse load largely depends on the quality of the temperature dependent wall material data used both in the analytical and numerical calculations.

Die Berechnung der zulässigen Beanspruchung erfordert ein elastisch-plastisches Werkstoffmodell und die Berücksichtigung von nichtlinearen geometrischen Effekten. Das plastische Versagen verursacht eine gesamte Strukturinstabilität und kann nicht direkt aus der Finite Elemente Analyse bestimmt werden. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Beanspruchung für plastisches Versagen eines zylindrischen Druckbehälters mittels eines analytischen Verfahrens basierend auf einem linear elastischen ideal-plastischen Materialmodell bestimmt. Wenn Plastizität auftritt, wird zum einen der Werkstoff als inkompressibel und zum anderen der Tensor der plastischen Dehnungen als parallel zum Spannungsabweichungstensor angenommen. In diesem Fall kann die Spannungs-Dehnungs-Beziehung von Henkel angewendet werden, um den Druck zu berechnen, bei dem plastisches Fließen und Versagen eintritt. Die analytischen Ergebnisse werden von den Finite Elemente Berechnungen vollkommen bestätigt.

Both areas are very important for the evaluation of the component integrity. Unfortunately the technical understanding in both disciplines is not identically, what lead to misunderstandings. In the present paper, the basic ideas about fracture mechanics and the input parameters coming from the NDT side are explained, concerning the integrity evaluation of the components. The widely used NDT methods are magnetic particle, dye penetrant, electrical eddy currents, radiography and ultrasonics. But not all of these common NDT methods can deliver parameters satisfy the fracture mechanics requirements. The first two can detect only surface-breaking or immediately sub-surface defects. Eddy current can also find defects in deeper sub-surface layers, while radiography and ultrasonics can also find embedded, remote defects. These three methods have furthermore a high potential for defect sizing and are therefore predestined to provide fracture mechanics input parameters. At the example of steam generator tube inspection the interplay of eddy current and fracture mechanics as related to tube integrity will be explained.

Figure 3 displays temperatures of the tank wall and of the gas phase over testing time. It can be seen that a complete coating strongly delayed the heating of tank wall and gas phase, whereas the partly coated tanks only had a minor influence on temperature development. There was no significant difference between a half coated and a thirdly coated tank measurable. Figure 4 shows the internal pressure of tanks over testing time. Only the fully coated tank enabled a low pressure over 90 min testing time. Hence, a complete coating is necessary to guarantee the fire safety of hazmat tanks and a partly coating is not sufficient.

T1 - Development and characterisation of an engulfing hydrocarbon pool fire test for hazardous materials pressure vessels N2 - The US Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) current regulations for rail tank cars in the United States stipulate that, for certain hazardous materials, tank cars shall have a thermal protection system capable of preventing rupture of the tank for 100 minutes when exposed to an engulfing fire with a blackbody equivalent flame temperature of 871 °C (+/- 56°C), and that tanks shall have a pressure relief device set at an appropriate level (depending on the type of tank car and contents). Pressure relief devices are a source of non-accident releases, and hence may cause serious incidents when tanks are transporting hazardous materials. Industry in North America would therefore benefit from removal of pressure relief devices on tanks transporting certain hazardous materials. Such an approach is known as full Containment, and is standard practice in Europe. In 2014 the FRA commissioned an experimental study to investigate the ability of a specific design of rail tank to resist rupture without incorporating a pressure release valve. As a precursor to tests on tanks there was a need to develop and characterise a simulated pool fire capable of reliably exposing large-scale tanks to repeatable, uniform conditions. This paper describes such a fire test setup, developed using a burner array system fuelled by liquid propane and designed to produce luminous, low velocity flames representative of those found in large hydrocarbon pool fires. The experimental set-up is described, along with the Instrumentation (directional flame thermometers, infra-red camera, and thermally massive calorimeter) and methodology used to characterise the fire. Comparisons are made against previous fire tests on vessels to assess the suitability of the experimental set-up for future vessel testing.

T1 - Experimental Analysis of a Pressurized Vessel Exposed to Fires: an Innovative Representative Scale Apparatus N2 - A novel deign of test equipment has been commissioned to investigate thermal stratification and boiling during fire exposure of pressure vessels. Extensive temperature measurements and video of the internal conditions during fire exposure are possible, and the equipment has been designed for future compatibility with laser-based velocity measurement techniques. It is expected to generate data large quantities of data that will be of use in validation of two- and three-dimensional CFD models for the prediction of pressure vessel behaviour in fire. Future work will seek to characterize the boundary layer conditions in detail for a range of test fluids, fill levels and fire-induced thermal boundary conditions. Initial tests undertaken during commissioning may indicate that fire exposure of the vessel wall just above the liquid level can have a notable influence on the pressurization rate, by increasing the degree of superheat. Further experimental and modelling work is required to confirm and quantify this effect, or to rebut this conclusion.

In this paper, a simulation scheme has been proposed to analyze such interaction in massive way, involving a multivehicle models was the uncoupling of the roll and pitch responses. Results suggest that the damaging effects on the pavement and the vehicle, depends on the position along the road profile. However, the vertical design of the road would mainly affect the pavement damage, while the turning maneuvers would strongly influence the damage of the vehicle.

Several simplifications have been introduced in the model, including the circular bottom of the ship, which facilitates the location of the buoyancy force on the ship, and the analogy of the sloshing cargo motion to a simple pendulum. Two forms of damping were introduced (river waters with the ship´s hull and the friction of the liquid inside the tanker walls), while the sliding motion of the ship when turning has been assumed as negligible. The results suggest that the sloshing cargo influences the lateral stability of the river tanker, with increases in the maximum roll angle from 15% to 40%, as a function of the speed and the fill level. The maximum roll angle has been found to occur at a 75% fill level, regardless of the ship speed.

Therefore, some countries have started to consider extending operation of nuclear power plants. This demands an extensive plant life management as well as the knowledge of the degradation in material properties. The Basis Safety Concept (BSC) in Germany observed this circumstance. Still, lifetime extension is not an issue in Germany due to phase out of nuclear energy. Part of the BSC is the application of non-destructive examination (NDE) methods from the beginning, i.e. from component manufacture, to the end of life. The application of a NDE method to detect and size defects in components in nuclear power plants is presented.

Korrosion, Risse an Schweißnähten, Gestaltungs- und Dimensionierungsfehler sowie fertigungs- und betriebsbedingte Fehler zählen zu den Hauptschadensursachen. Viele Tanks werden vor Ablauf ihrer Nutzungsdauer nicht mehr für den Transport von Gefahrgütern eingesetzt, da sie nicht mehr den geänderten gesetzlichen Anforderungen in den Gefahrgutvorschriften entsprechen. Die Voraussagen durch Literaturangaben und Ergebnisse von Korrosionsversuchen in der BAM-Liste – Anforderungen an Tanks zur Beförderung gefährlicher Güter – spiegeln sich in der Nutzungsdauer/Lebensdauer der Tanks wider.

A1 - Otremba, Frank T1 - A new concept for steam generator tube integrity assessment N2 - Steam generator (SG) tubes are part of the primary circuit of pressurised water reactors and therefore also part of the pressure retaining boundary components. Furthermore, steam generator tubes are the components which guarantee the separation between the primary and secondary circuits. Therefore the knowledge of the loss of tube integrity as soon as possible is an essential. Optimised nondestructive testing methods based on the eddy current array technique are used to find material degradation, especially intergranular stress corrosion cracks during the periodical in-service inspection. These methods are supported by the measurement of the leakage rate during operation based on radioactivity and Tritium measurement regarding a high crack grows. Shutdown criteria depending on leakage rates which are described in the operation procedures but there are no specifications about the conditions for the measured leakage. Is the leakage coming from a single crack or are there multiple cracks or is this the leakage of a critical crack. With the help of FE calculations answer about the uncertainties of leakage rate versus critical crack grows were found. Shutdown criteria must guarantee to avoid critical crack sizes, i.e. between the measured tritium activity and the critical crack size must be a safety gap.

Dabei stellte sich heraus, dass Gastanks mit nicht ausreichend dimensionierten Sicherheitseinrichtungen bei einer äußeren thermischen Belastung innerhalb von 6 bis 10 min in Form eines BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) versagen können. Um die Feuerwiderstandsdauer eines Tanks zu erhöhen, besteht die Möglichkeit, den Tank u. a. mit einer sog. reaktiven Brandschutzbeschichtung zu versehen. Bei einer Temperatureinwirkung ab ca. 200 °C (produktabhängig) beginnt die Schicht aufgrund einer thermochemischen Reaktion aufzuschäumen. Die Tankwand wird dabei temporär vor einer weiteren schnellen Erwärmung geschützt. PY - 2012 SN - 2191-0073 VL - 2 IS - 1/2 SP - 27 EP - 30 PB - Springer-VDI-Verl.

T1 - Alloy 800 steam generator tube stress corrosion cracks - Detection N2 - Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) in Alloy 800 steam generator tubes was until recently an unknown damage mechanism for this material. But in the meanwhile such cracks were detected within the tube sheet between upper and lower mechanical tube expansion and in the outer tube bündle periphery. The detection and the sizing of such defects were not reliable with the common NDT methods. Steam generator (SG) tube integrity constitutes the main barrier against release of activity to the secondary Circuit. When through wall cracks occur, primary water can leak into the secondary circuit due to the influence of the pressure difference between the primary and secondary circuit. Such cracks may have safety relevance if the crack growth is not negligible. Therefore optimized inspection methods are necessary fortube integrity assessment. The overall requirements in this particular case are to guarantee the tube integrity in the time between the periodically in-service inspections until the next inspection by placing special emphases of NDT methods. In the present contribution, NDT methods for the inspection of defects like IGSCC are presented. Some Statements about the root cause for this special degradation mechanism will also be described.

T1 - Comparison of the operating life of tank containers, tank vehicles and rail cars for the carriage of dangerous goods in practice, analysis of causes of damage N2 - More than 400 Mt of dangerous materials are transported in Germany every year, of which 150 Mt are by road. Tank containers, tank vehicles and rail tank cars are used for the carriage of dangerous goods in large quantities. Data on the operating life of tanks are only available, in practice, to a minor degree. They are only partly published, mainly after accidents. The BAM-List - Requirements for Tanks for the Carriage of Dangerous Goods, which has compatibility evaluations of metallic and polymeric materials, has been the basis for substance-related prototype approvals for tank containers and portable tanks designed for the carriage of dangerous goods by the BAM since publication of the first edition in 1989. These data are also used for the approval of rail tank cars and road tank cars and are used as a source of knowledge not only in Germany but also worldwide. Tank leakages caused by tanks or rail tank cars being made of tank and sealing materials which are not resistant to the fill goods are avoided by using the material resistance data of the BAM. Corrosion damage is among the main causes of damage. Uniform and non-uniform area corrosion without mechanical stress in aqueous substances is one of the most frequent types of corrosion during the transport of chemicals in tanks. Much damage by pitting corrosion occurs during the transport of substances containing chlorides or substances which separate chloride ions in the presence of moisture. Operational stresses are caused by the effects of both the road and the dangerous goods being transported. Mechanical damage often results from long-term overstressing and occurs after longer operating times. Operational failures cause damage which may appear during the service of tank containers, road tank cars or rail tank cars. The damage results from the inattention of employees when opening and closing the valves. Traffic accidents also cause damage to tanks and frames. Many cases of damage are due to weld area cracks resulting from four basic errors in construction, material, manufacturing and operation. Manufacturing errors can be undetected and the starting point of cracks which only grow under service conditions. Manufacturing errors result from variations in measurement and design, fittings, state of surface (hardness, abrasiveness) and mechanical surface damage (scratches, cracks). Incorrectly welded joints and errors during mechanical deformation are typical mistakes when installing the component parts. Variations in the wall thickness or combinations of different materials lead to manufacturing errors too. A lot of tanks are not used for the transport of dangerous goods before the end of their service life as they do not fulfil the revised technical safety requirements in the Dangerous Goods Regulations. Predictions in the BAM-List based on literature data and corrosion test results are reflected in the service (operating) life. Rail tank cars made of carbon steel, for example, which are mainly used for the transport of petroleum products, can achieve a service life of 40 – 50 y. Rail tank cars produced of austenitic CrNi- or CrNiMo-steel can reach an operating life of at least 30 y, whereby the corrosiveness of the transport substances plays an important role.

A study about the integrity of safety valves for tanks for dangerous goods N2 - In Europe, tanks designed on different safety philosophies are used for transporting one and the same liquid dangerous goods (Krautwurst, 2011). Owing to this circumstance, the BAM was commissioned by the BMVBS to conduct a research project designed to analyse and assess the equipment of tanks. Furthermore in these project were researched some failure mechanism of pressure relief devices (PRD). Based on the knowledge gained, possible solutions were worked out under safety-relevant aspects that would benefit tank transport by providing a lower hazard potential. Besides looking at the mode of operation and the construction of PRV, their blow-off characteristics and total flow rate are considered from a safety engineering point of view. Based on in-depth studies, a concept for and the further approach to examinations of the failure limits of PRD, especially of spring loaded relief valves, was developed and comprehensively described in the report “The use of safety devices, particularly safety valves, on transport containers” (Pötzsch, Reich, & Jochems, 2011). The purpose of this study was to investigate failure causes of safety valves by normal modes and accidental fire heat loads. A series of investigations for different influences using safety valves for tanks were obtained. Testing vibration modes and corrosion presents some design limits. Experimental study of a pressure vessel engulfing in fire identify significant design limits. The complete set of results provides direct information of fail-safe modes and discusses the usage.

The resulting testing rig consists of a rectangular container, spring supported on a two wheelset-bogie having a scale down of 1/10 with respect to a full-size equipment. The testing rig is used to validate a simple pendulum-based, simplified three degree-of-freedom mathematical model of the response of a partially filled container to lateral accelerations. The length of the pendulum is set according to validated methodologies. The resulting mathematical scheme reveals a high correlation with the experimental output, on the order of 99%, while some other performance measures, related to the peak forces and the range of variation of the wheel-rail forces, also show good concordance with the experimental results.
