Abstract

Object of this invention is to provide an axial torsional vibration measurement device of the reactor internal pump capable of measuring the axial torsional vibration easily. The vibration detector 2 that detects vibration in the radial direction, and the sound detector 3 that detects vibration in the circumferential direction are fitted on cylindrical motor casing 6 , which contains the motor of a reactor internal pump. The dimension of both signals of a vibration waveform signal detected by the vibration detector 2 , and a sound waveform signal detected by the sound detector 3 are matched in vibration calculating device 15 , to thereby obtain an axial torsion vibration of a motor from the difference of both signals.

Claims (12)

1. A measurement system of torsion vibration for Reactor Internal Pump, including:

a reactor internal pump that has a motor contained in a cylindrical motor casing and fixed by hanging down to the lower part of a reactor pressure vessel;

a vibration detector fitted on the outer circumference of the cylindrical motor casing that detects vibration in radial direction;

a sound detector fitted on the cylindrical motor casing that detects the vibration sound in the circumferential direction;

a vibration calculating unit that receives the vibration waveform signal detected by said vibration detector, and the sound waveform signal detected by said sound detector, said vibration calculating unit calculating the difference in amplitude of said vibration signal and said sound signal thereby obtaining an axial torsional vibration signal of said motor;

a frequency analyzing unit that obtains the spectrum of an axial torsional vibration obtained by the vibration calculating unit; and

a display unit that displays the axial torsional vibration waveform obtained by the vibration calculating unit, and the axial torsional vibration spectrum obtained by the frequency analyzing unit.

2. A measurement system of torsional vibration for Reactor Internal Pump as described in claim 1 , including:

a first frequency analyzing unit that obtains the vibration spectrum of the vibration waveform signal detected by the vibration detector;

a second frequency analyzing unit that obtains the sound spectrum of the sound waveform signal detected by the sound detector; and

a vibration spectrum calculating unit that receives the vibration spectrum and the sound spectrum, to thereby obtain the axial torsional vibration spectrum of a motor.

3. A measurement system of torsion vibration for Reactor Internal Pump as described in claim 1 , wherein the vibration detector serves as an electrodynamic vibration meter, and the sound detector serves as a piezo-electric vibration meter.
