1. Fifth Annual QUIKLOOK Users Group Meeting
Introduction
Testing Valves in Asia
Fifth Annual QUIKLOOK Users Group Meeting

2. Stock options are overrated ….

3. China
12 Plants under construction
All Westinghouse AP1000 (Advanced Passive)
50% less safety related valves
80% less piping
85% less cable
Haiyang Site 6 reactors
Sanmen Site 6 reactors
About 16,000 megawatts total

4. China
Westinghouse did a technology transfer to the Chinese for AP1000
Signed contract with Westinghouse
Cannot market the AP1000 outside of China
Scaled up the AP1000 to AP1400
Marketing AP1400 outside of China

5. Conceptual View AP1000

6. Taiwan
Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant
GE ABWR (second built, first is in Japan, biggest nuclear plant in the world)
2 units 1350 megawatts each
Fuel load planned for April 2012
(Unit 1)
9.2 Billion USD (may never start)
4 years behind schedule

7. ABWR Reactor

8. Lungmen/GE valve spec specified stem mounted strain gages on all safety related MOVs
Lungmen plant has 400 safety related valves
200 per unit
No valve testing required prior to shipping valves to Taiwan

9. Westinghouse spec for valves in China included diagnostic testing prior to shipment
For MOV
For AOV
For BOP
The spec was tailored for stem mounted strain gages
QSS
SMARTSTEM

10. China / Taiwan Taiwan Waited to perform diagnostic testing
Basically waited for US to do the research
Then wanted testing done for ½ price
Taiwan
Does lots of valve and actuator maintenance
Based on schedule
Maintenance work quality is poor
Use incorrect grease
Don’t do many stem lubes

11. The first 4 units (2 at each of the China sites) big valves were procured by US valve companies
Flowserve
Velan
Weir
The big contract went to Flowserve
Gates
Globes
MSIV

12. The remaining new plants in China
Most valve contracts went to in country companies
Shentong Valve (own Quiklook)
Sufa
Shenjiang Valve (will purchase)
US companies bid but can’t compete
Valves built in China are low quality
Use cheap actuators
They don’t understand weaklink
Required thrust determination is not standard

13. Roger and I hosted a seminar in China last year and invited:
Flowserve
Automatic Valve
Top Works
Curtis Wright (EGS connectors)

15. Teledyne has signed up a China Distributor
Chance Development (H.K.) Limited
They are pushing Quiklook/QSS in China
Company President is former Nuclear employee

16. Velan
Had Quiklook for a number of years
Flowserve
Bought Quiklook in 2009
Weir
Bought Quiklook in 2010
Taiwan Power
Using Quiklook since 1994

17. China Valves (AP1000)
All valve tested static and “DP” before shipping
20 to 30 strokes required per valve
Reduced and nominal voltage
Actuator sizes are very conservative
All SR MOVs are DC
BOP all AC

19. SMB-3-150 on an 8” gate valve (Flowserve)

20. 36” MSIV Gate Valve

21. Taiwan Power Company Used ACE 3.0 Used ACETest Used Quiklook
Teledyne awarded contract for AOV Program (Turn – Key)
Design Basis Calculations
Weaklink Analysis
Static Testing
Dynamic Testing
Used ACE 3.0
Used ACETest
Used Quiklook

22. AOV Scope
68 valves
68 static tests
6 dynamic tests
TPC I/C Staff
Very limited valve experience
Do not understand testing
They kept asking me about torque switch settings??

23. TPC is slowly adopting how we do business
Just began using safety glasses/shoes
Use pre-job briefs
Called TBM
Tool Box Meeting

24. The TBM ….

25. First time TTS used Windows 7 for the Quiklook operating system
XP software difficult to obtain
Future system will use Windows 7
Discovered weakness with I/P circuit
New board is in Engineering

26. Valve population included
9 Fisher actuators
25 Automax for quarter turn valves
34 Valtek
Valves were very high margin
Most valves have no regulators
Full air pressure
Actuator nameplate indicated 100 psi max
Measured 120 psi

27. Valve Pics - Automax

28. Valtek (on-off)

29. Fisher – 3-Way Control Valve

30. MSIV in DW

31. Testing with QLII

32. Intake Structure

33. Questions?
