This invention provides a method for calibrating the parameters of a measuring device for an orifice valve in a
nuclear power plant's main feedwater
system. The method includes: a process for calibrating the straightness of a telescopic rod, including horizontally placing the telescopic rod, installing a reflecting
prism at its end, tracking the center of the reflecting
prism with a
laser tracker, and calculating the straightness of the telescopic rod; a process for calibrating the
stepper motor's step distance accuracy, including measuring and statistically analyzing the step distance accuracy with a
laser tracker; a process for calibrating the
servo motor's rotation accuracy, including mounting a reflecting
prism on the
servo motor's rotation axis, controlling the prism's rotation, and statistically analyzing the rotation accuracy; a process for calibrating the
repeatability accuracy of a distance measuring sensor, including installing a distance measuring sensor at the end of the telescopic rod and statistically analyzing the
repeatability accuracy; a process for calibrating the distance measuring sensor's center position compensation parameters, including calibrating the compensation parameters using standard
pipe fittings; and a process for calibrating the
pipe's inner
diameter measurement accuracy, including adding the measured distance value to the compensation parameters for correction, scanning and measuring standard
pipe fittings, and statistically analyzing the pipe's inner
diameter measurement accuracy.
