Measuring Task Water Flow

Measurement of the water supply flow to the pressurizer. The pressurizer's Measurement on the
function is to boost the water pressure up to 155 bars. Pressurizer's Spray Line
Fluid: pressurized water
Temperature: 300°C
Pressure: 155 bars
Environment: highly radioactive, inside the reactor block
304L stainless steel piping, 100 mm diameter, 16 mm thick
3 3
Flows to measure: 1 m /h (0.2 m/s) to 280 m /h (10 m/s)
Instruments used Customer
FLUXUS® ADMX 7407 combined with standard M2N7 sensors. The
exclusive WaveInjector® device engineered by FLEXIM allows to reduce
the temperature gradually in order to improve resistance to these extreme
conditions.
Advantages
• Non-intrusive measurement: no welding
• Elimination of any risk of leaks
• Large measuring range: 1 to 280 m3/h EDF runs 58 nuclear reactors.
The plants have been developed to
Selling Points achieve projected lifetimes of 40
• Reduced installation costs compared to other technologies years. To guarantee their full safety
• Simplified installation and functionality, supplementary
measures are being implemented.
• Limited radioactive exposure due to non-intrusive measuring
Flow measuring devices are key
• High pressure / high temperature elements in the plant's central
• Piezo-resistive technology not affected by radiation monitoring system.

Description
The nuclear plant's primary circuit absorbs the heat caused by nuclear
fission.

The secondary circuit collects this energy and converts it into steam which
actuates the power-generating turbine.
Accurate and reliable flow measurement is essential to maintain system
safety. Clamp-on technology eliminates all risks of leaks while being
simple to install. The flow meter installation does not require any pipework.
