ASME QME-1-2017 pdf free download.Qualification of Active Mechanical Equipment Used in Nuclear Facilities.
essential-to-function parts/components: those parts or components of the assembly that are essential to cause, permit, or enable the assembly to perform the specified accident-condition function or whose failure could prevent the performance of this function.
functionality: ability of an active component to perform the mechanical motion required to fulfill its specified function when subjected to the prescribed service conditions.
installed lfr: the interval from installation to removal during which the equipment or component thereof may be subject to design service condition and system demands.
maintenance: work performed on an item to keep it operable or to restore it to an operable condition.
malfuuiction: the loss of capability of equipment to initiate or sustain its specified function or the initiation of undesired actions that might result in adverse consequences.
margin: the amount by which the qualification condition levels exceed the service condition levels.
mai/: an expression of permission.
mechanical component: those items of a facility such as pumps, valves, vessels, arid piping.
medianical equipment: for the purposes of this Standard, mechanical equipment may be used interchangeably with mechanical co?npouenf or assembly.
modification: a change in a system component or equipment configuration.
natural aging: aging that occurs within normal service environments as opposed to simulated service environments.
operability: see funcfionalitii for the definition of this term for use in this Standard.
operating basis rerth quake (OBE): the vibratory seismic motion associated with the facility shutdown and inspection, which may be identified as a design input as specified by the safety analysis of the facility.
production equipment: equipment fabricated with the same manufacturing techniques, materials, production testing. and quality assurance that were used for prototype or parent equipment.
prototype equipment: production equipment representing the first model/type or original design/pattern. Prototype equipment may be used for qualification testing; when selected for qualification testing, the equipment may also be called candidate equipment.
qualfi cation: the generation and maintenance of evidence to ensure/demonstrate that the equipment can meet its specified service conditions in accordance with the Qualification Specification.
qua1flcation criteria: criteria developed from those specific service conditions for which the equipment is to be qualified.
qualification life: the period of time, prior to the start of a design-basis event, for which the active mechanical equipment was demonstrated to meet the design requirements for the specified service conditions. (Note that at the end of the qualified life, the active mechanical equipment shall be capable of performing the function required for the postulated design-basis and post- design-basis events.)
qualification program: the overall cumulative process of specifying, conducting, and documenting the results of those activities required to qualify active mechanical equipment to perform its function in accordance with the Qualification Specification.
Qualification Report: documentation of tests, analyses, operating experience, or any combination of these performed in accordance with this Standard or the Qualification Specification that demonstrates functionality of the active mechanical equipment.
Qualification Specflcation: the specification or portion of the Design Specification that describes the qualification requircmenls to be met in the qualification of the active mechanical equipment.
qualified candidate equipment: equipment that has been qualified primarily by methods described in the candidate equipment definition met in the qualification of the active mechanical equipment.
qualflcd parent equipment: equipment that has been qualified primarily by testing.
safe shutdown earthquake (SSE): the vibratory seismic motion (greater than the OBE) for which certain structures, systems, and components in a facility are designed to remain functional as specified by the safety analysis of the facility
service conditions: postulated conditions specified for environmental, dynamic/static/pressure loadings, material degradation, etc., for normal operation, abnormal operation, and design-basis events.ASME QME-1 pdf download.
