NETWORKING ACTIVITY 4: “GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES”

Responsible person: Dolores Gomez Briceno, CIEMAT - lola.gomezbriceno@ciemat.es

The main objective of the NA4 is the development of guidelines for relevant issues for future HLM systems:
materials, corrosion tests, determination of mechanical properties, calibration of oxygen sensors and measurements of oxygen concentration.

To reach this objective a critical review of the available information on the mentioned topics will be carried out, analysing the experimental procedures used in the different labs in order to assess the quality of the data. The identification of some parameters/conditions not well covered by the available information and the necessity of carrying out specific experiments to remedy it is foreseen. If needed, these experiments will be performed as a part of JRA 1.
The expected impact of this networking activity will be to provide the research community with recommendations and procedures to perform material studies and oxygen control measurements and the engineers with reliable data to be used for the design and construction of new HLM systems. This networking activity represents the needed forum for discussion andunderstanding on topics relevant for the future of this type of systems.It is foreseen that the recommendations and procedures issued, as results of this activity, will be used by the labs involved in HLM investigations. If possible, standard proposal will be written to be submitted to ISO.
