Abstract

An experimental program of leak rate testing has been carried out for different geometries of artificial cracks in piping under various thermo-hydraulic conditions. The objective of these tests was to obtain a database of measured leak rates from artificial piping cracks and to compare test results with leak rate predictions obtained from the EPRI developed analytical model called PICEP. Experimental results for leak rates associated with rectangular and flare crack geometries are presented. Initial results of comparing analytical leak rate predictions with the experimental data is also presented.
