Test Methods

AMS has developed numerous test methods in response to the needs of the power and process industry and to the specialized needs of individual customers. Some examples are as follows:

• In-Situ Response Time Testing of RTDs Using the Loop Current Step Response (LCSR) Method
  
  

• RTD Cross Calibration
  
  

• Accurate Measurement of Response Time of Hot Leg RTDs in Presence of Temperature Stratification Problems in PWR Plants
  
  

• Rod Drop Time Measurement Using the Power-On Test Method
  
  

• Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) Testing
  
  

• Pressure Transmitter Calibration Extension Methodology
  
  

• Noise Analysis Technique for in-situ Response Time Testing of Nuclear Plant Pressure Transmitters and On-Line Detection of Sensing Line Blockages
  
  

• Power Interrupt Method For Response Time Testing of Force-Balance Pressure Transmitters in Nuclear Power Plants
