Abstract
For more realistic seismic safety evaluation of elbow with local thinning shape due to liquid droplet impingement erosion (LDI), a determination method of the thinning shape of the elbow due to LDI was developed, and a representative thinning shape for seismic evaluation of eroded elbows was proposed in this study. For the mechanistically-based determination of the thinning shape due to LDI, calculations of the droplet behavior and the thinning rate of the elbow were conducted. In addition, with this approach, the thinning shapes in various flow and piping size conditions were evaluated, and the enveloping thinning shape of those thinning shapes with a safety factor is considered as a representative thinning shape for seismic evaluation of eroded elbows.
