Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive the improvement of measurement accuracy of core flow without the difference of differential pressure-flow in a test device and a practical device by finding the relationship of the differential pressure and the flow of a circulation pump. CONSTITUTION:A simulated shroud cap 15 having a flow measurement element 19 and a flow control valve 20 on the top of a reactor core 17 is set on the upper portion of a partition plate 2. During a starting test, a pump 4 is operated to set the rotating speed of the pump 4 by a tachometer 7 so as to measure the differential pressure of the pump 4 by a differential pressure gage 8 of the pump 4. In reactor core flow, the differential pressure obtained by the use of a differential pressure meter leads 11a, 11b can be found through a differential pressure gage 12 and a differential flow meter 13 from the flow measurement element 19 of the simulated shroud head cap 15 set on the upper portion of the partition plate 2. Thereby, differential pressure-flow characteristic errors produced between a test device and a practical device need not be considered.
