Architect and Engineering Specifications for ASME Section III, Class I values include seismic requirements of natural frequency determination of the valve and valve actuator. Detailed tests of the springs were conducted to evaluate the effect of these component resonators on the actuator assembly. The importance of using clear, concise definitions within contract documents is discussed as related to the interpretation of experimental results. 16 refs.
