Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear-grade pressure transmitter technology, and in particular to an offline calibration method and system for nuclear power plant transmitters. Background Technology

[0002] In nuclear power plants, nuclear-grade pressure transmitters are mainly used to measure important parameters such as liquid level, pressure, and flow rate. They form the basis for the control and monitoring of critical process systems in nuclear power plants. Among them, the Rolls-Royce 6000 series transmitters from France are widely used. The structure of the 6000 series transmitters differs from other ordinary transmitters. It includes separately installed sensors and processing cards. The sensors are located in the nuclear island, while the processing cards are located in the electrical building.

[0003] Currently, because the 6000 series transmitters have separate sensor and processing card installations, they can only be calibrated after installation in the field. This results in the sensor's performance being uncertain before it is applied to the field system, and the performance of the processing card cannot be determined or adjusted. Furthermore, it is impossible to burn-in the transmitter to determine its performance. On-site calibration requires different personnel to simultaneously apply pressure to the sensor and measure and adjust the card's electrical parameters, leading to communication difficulties, low calibration efficiency, and high labor costs.

[0041] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] It should be noted that the flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0043] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an offline calibration method for nuclear power plant transmitters in some embodiments of the present invention. This offline calibration method is used to perform offline calibration of nuclear-grade pressure transmitters not installed in industrial sites. The nuclear-grade pressure transmitter includes a sensor and a processing card. The method includes the following steps:

[0045] S10. Generate a flow control signal for controlling the signal flow between the sensor and the processing card during calibration, and a pressure control signal for controlling the magnitude of the test pressure input to the sensor during calibration, based on the calibration items.

[0046] S20. During calibration, acquire the measurement signal output by the processing card, and calibrate the tested nuclear pressure transmitter according to the measurement signal and calibration items.

[0047] In this embodiment, a flow control signal is generated based on the calibration items to control the signal flow between the sensor and the processing card during calibration, and a pressure control signal is generated to control the magnitude of the test pressure input to the sensor during calibration, in preparation for the corresponding calibration items. During calibration, the nuclear-grade pressure transmitter under test is calibrated based on the calibration items and the measurement signals output by the processing card. Implementing this invention allows personnel to perform offline calibration of nuclear-grade pressure transmitters in a well-equipped and well-calibrated environment, eliminating the need for remote communication. This positively impacts calibration efficiency, reduces labor costs, calibration complexity, and radiation dose. It also facilitates performance testing of nuclear-grade pressure transmitters not installed on-site, ensuring that the transmitter meets application requirements when installed on-site.

[0048] In one optional embodiment, the calibration items include at least one of potentiometer calibration, linearity testing, and card calibration. Potentiometer calibration includes zero-point calibration and range point calibration.

[0049] The purpose of zero-point calibration is to ensure that when the test pressure input to the sensor is zero, the measurement signal output by the processing card is also characterized as the minimum value of the range.

[0050] The purpose of range calibration is to ensure that when the test pressure input to the sensor is the upper limit of the measurable value, the measurement signal output by the processing card is also characterized as the maximum value of the range.

[0051] The purpose of linearity testing is to verify whether the test pressure and measurement signal of a nuclear-grade pressure transmitter meet the linearity requirements.

[0052] The purpose of card calibration is to verify whether a processing card, when used with a sensor already installed in the field, meets application requirements. When a processing card in a nuclear-grade pressure transmitter fails, but its sensor is functioning normally, a new processing card is calibrated to confirm that it meets application requirements when used with the sensor of the nuclear-grade pressure transmitter. This allows the processing card to be replaced in the nuclear-grade pressure transmitter without requiring further online calibration, significantly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, step S10 further includes: controlling the signal flow between the sensor and the processing card through a preset signal management unit, inputting the test pressure to the sensor through a preset pressure supply unit, and acquiring the measurement signal output by the processing card through a signal measurement unit.

[0054] Specifically, the signal management unit controls the connection / disconnection of the line between the AC signal output terminal of the sensor and the AC signal input terminal of the processing card based on the flow control signal, thereby controlling whether the processing card receives the AC signal output by the sensor. The pressure application unit is used to input pressure to the sensor under test and controls the magnitude of the pressure according to the pressure application control signal; it is easy to understand that the pressure application unit can be a hydraulic pressure application device commonly used in the prior art. The signal measurement unit can be a current and voltage acquisition device commonly used in the prior art.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, step S10 includes: if the calibration item is potentiometer calibration, generating a first flow control signal for controlling the interaction between the sensor and the processing card, and generating a first pressure control signal according to the set calibration requirements;

[0056] In step S20, verifying the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter according to the measurement signal and calibration items includes: adjusting the position of the calibration potentiometer in the processing card to make the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter meet the zero point and range point requirements; wherein, the calibration potentiometer includes a zero point potentiometer and a range point potentiometer.

[0057] In this embodiment, a first flow control signal is first generated (input to the signal management unit) to close the switch controlling the AC signal output of the sensor and the AC signal input of the processing card within the signal management unit. Then, zero-point calibration and range calibration are performed sequentially. Taking the commonly used 6000 series transmitter as an example, the zero-point calibration process is as follows: First, a zero-point pressure signal is generated (input to the pressure supply unit) to input the zero-point test pressure (0) to the sensor. Then, the measurement signal output by the processing card is acquired and displayed. The operator can then adjust the position of the zero-point potentiometer to ensure the measurement signal value meets the zero-point and range requirements (the measurement signal is displayed as 4mA). The range calibration process is as follows: First, a range-point pressure signal is generated (input to the pressure supply unit) to input the range-point test pressure (the transmitter's maximum measurement pressure) to the sensor. Then, the measurement signal output by the processing card is acquired and displayed. The operator can then adjust the position of the range-point potentiometer to ensure the measurement signal value meets the zero-point and range requirements (the measurement signal is displayed as 20mA).

[0058] In an optional embodiment, step S20 further includes: after the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter passes verification, acquiring and recording the AC signal output by the sensor of the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter at the set test point, and using it as the historical AC signal of the corresponding sensor. The set test point can be acquired by the signal processing unit, specifically including the zero-point AC signal and the range-point AC signal output by the sensor during zero-point calibration and range-point calibration, respectively, as well as several AC signal values ​​output by the sensor at each test pressure value during linear testing (corresponding one-to-one with each test pressure value). Recording the set test point is for preparation for card verification. Additionally, a database can be established to store the historical AC signals of each sensor.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, step S10 further includes: if the verification item is card verification, generating a second flow control signal for controlling the sensor and processing the card disconnection interaction;

[0060] In S20, verifying the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter based on the measurement signal and calibration items also includes: acquiring the historical AC signal of the sensor of the processing card to be replaced, inputting an analog AC signal simulating the historical AC signal into the processing card, and then adjusting the position of the calibration potentiometer in the processing card to make the processing card meet the replacement requirements of the processing card to be replaced.

[0061] In this embodiment, a second flow control signal is first generated (input to the signal management unit) to disconnect the switch controlling the AC signal output of the sensor and the AC signal input of the processing card within the signal management unit, thus preventing the AC signal input of the processing card from being affected by external devices. Then, the analog AC signals of the corresponding sensors are acquired and sequentially input to the processing card. Subsequently, potentiometer calibration and linearity testing are performed on the processing card. If the measurement signals output by the processing card are within the error range of the measurement signals output during the corresponding verification items before the processing card to be replaced malfunctions, then the processing card is determined to meet the replacement requirements of the processing card to be replaced.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, step S20 further includes: if the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter cannot meet the relevant requirements by adjusting the position of the calibration potentiometer, then the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter is determined to be non-compliant. This embodiment mainly targets calibration items that require adjustment of the calibration potentiometer, such as potentiometer calibration and card calibration. Implementing this embodiment can facilitate the calibration of the corresponding sensors and processing cards by the operators. It should be noted that determining that the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter is non-compliant does not mean that both the sensor and the processing card in the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter are faulty. It may be caused by one of them being faulty. For example, in card calibration, the sensor in the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter may actually be normal, but the tested processing card may be determined to be non-compliant because it cannot meet the replacement requirements of the processing card to be replaced.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, step S10 further includes: if the verification item is a linear test, generating a first flow control signal for controlling the interaction between the sensor and the processing card, and sequentially generating a corresponding second pressure control signal according to a preset test point list; wherein, the preset test point list includes a number of test pressure values ​​and a measurement reference value corresponding to each test pressure value; each test pressure value is used to set the value of the second pressure control signal;

[0064] In step S20, verifying the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter based on the measurement signal and verification items further includes: comparing the measurement signal obtained after each output of the second pressure control signal with the corresponding measurement reference value to determine whether the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter meets the linearity requirements.

[0065] In this embodiment, a first flow control signal is first generated (input to the signal management unit) to close the switch controlling the AC signal output terminal of the sensor and the AC signal input terminal of the processing card within the signal management unit. Then, the test pressure values ​​from the preset test point list are sequentially acquired, and a corresponding second pressure control signal is generated based on the test pressure values ​​(input to the pressure unit) to input the corresponding linear test point pressure to the sensor. In this way, the measurement signals output by the processing card when the sensor inputs each test pressure value can be obtained. These measurement signals are compared with the corresponding measurement reference values ​​in the preset test point list. If the linearity of these measurement signals all conforms to the error range, it is determined that the tested nuclear-grade pressure transmitter meets the linearity requirements.
