Sentence examples for sodium environments from inspiring English sources

LCF tests conducted in flowing sodium environment at 823 K and 873 K exhibited cyclic softening behaviour both in air and sodium environments.

This paper highlights the creep, low cycle fatigue and creep-fatigue properties of current SFR materials in air and sodium environments, and discusses the studies underway to develop improved materials for future SFRs for longer design life.

The CFI life of the steel showed marginal increase under flowing sodium environment when compared to air environment.

The pump designed was manufactured with the consideration to the material and functional requirements of a chemically-active sodium environment.

The fatigue lives are significantly improved in sodium environment when compared to the data obtained in air environment under identical testing conditions.

However, they are based on the results of material tests in air, while actual structural material will be used mainly in liquid sodium environment in the plants.

Hence, the design rules for creep fatigue interaction based on air tests can be safely applied for components operating in sodium environment.

This requires a flow sensor which can withstand the high temperature sodium environment and can meet the dimensional constraints and be amenable to maintenance.

The lack of oxidation in sodium environment is considered to be responsible for the delayed crack initiation and consequent increase in fatigue life.

For the primary system of the pool type concept of SFR design, flowmeters have to be immersed in sodium pool and require flow sensors which can withstand high temperatures up to 550 °C, nuclear radiation and chemically reactive sodium environment.

By exposing five SG tubes having uniform wall loss grooves to a sodium environment in a specially designed test vessel, changes in the shape of RFEC signals were observed and it was possible to approximate the volume of sodium deposited in defects.
