Abstract

Interaction between hardness of the pintle rods and the retainer rings used in the core samplers is investigated. It is found that ordinary Rockwell C measurements are not sufficient and superficial hardness instruments are recommended to verify hardness since in-production hardness of pintle rods is found to vary widely and probably leads to some premature release of pistons in samplers.

Pintle Rod Qualification Test Plan and Report for Roll Pin Relocation

Technical Report BOGER, R

A roll pin in the end of the pintle rod in core samplers needs to be moved upward to avoid potential interference with another part (the release disk) during installation of the retainer ring. This test plan/report is intended to demonstrate that the sampler valve closes normally and the pintle release mechanism operates normally with the new roll pin location.

Development of the Pintle Release Fork Mechanism

Technical Report BOGER, R; DALE, R

An improved method of attachment of the pintle to the piston in the universal sampler is being developed. The mechanism utilizes a forked release disk which captures two balls in a cavity formed by a hole in the piston and a groove in the pintle rod.

Summary report on the design of the retained gas sampler system (retained gas sampler, extruder and extractor)

Technical Report Wootan, D; Bolden, R; Bridges, A; ...

This document summarizes work performs in Fiscal Year 1994 to develop the three main components of Retained Gas Sampler System (RGSS). These primary components are the Retained Gas Sampler (RGS), the Retained Gas Extruder (RGE), and the Retained Gas Extractor (RGEx). The RGS is based on the Westinghouse Hanford Company (WHC) Universal Sampler design, and includes modifications to reduce gas leakage. The primary data priorities for the RGSS are to measure the void fraction and the flammable gas concentration in the waste sample. Significant progress has been made in developing the RGSS. The RGSS is being developed by WHC tomore »« less

Retained gas sampler extractor mixing and mass transfer rate study: Experimental and simulation results

Technical Report Recknagle, K; Bates, J; Shekarriz, A

Research staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory conducted experimental testing and computer simulations of the impeller-stirred Retained Gas Sampler (RGS) gas extractor system. This work was performed to verify experimentally the effectiveness of the extractor at mixing viscous fluids of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian rheology representative of Hanford single- and double-shell wastes, respectively. Developing the computational models and validating their results by comparing them with experimental results would enable simulations of the mixing process for a range of fluid properties and mixing speeds. Five tests were performed with a full-scale, optically transparent model extractor to provide the data needed tomore »« less

Test procedure -- Prototype core sampler

Technical Report Linschooten, C

The purpose of this test is to attempt to determine the adequacy of the prototype sampler. Recovery tests will be performed with this sampler in three different consistencies of kaolin sludge simulants. A minimum of six tests will be done in each of the simulants. The sampler is a hollow steel sampling tube with a tapered nose and a retractable point. The point is sealed against the inside wall of the sampler by two O-rings, which keep the waste material from entering the sampler prematurely. When the point is retracted, the biggest O-ring assists in collecting the sample by producingmore »« less
