DEVICE FOR FITTING AN EXTRACTION SLEEVE INTO A STEAM GENERATOR TUBE AND CORRESPONDING PROCESS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF A TUBE PORTION

摘要

The insertion device comprises a guide collar (75) provided at one of its ends with means (77) for connection to corresponding means (87) arranged at a first end of an extraction sleeve tube (85), a retention collar (100) provided at one of its ends with detachable means for connection to corresponding means arranged at the second end of the extraction sleeve tube (85) and means for fastening the retention collar (100) to the entrance face (3a) of the tubular plate (3). The device also comprises means for positioning the extraction sleeve tube (85) and for positioning and controlling and extracting a syringe for injecting glue comprising an operating member (17) and an elongated transmission element (18) connected at one of its ends to the injection syringe and at its other end to the operating member (17). The extraction sleeve tube (85) can be connected to the guide collar (75) and to the retention collar (100) in order to be positioned inside the tube (5) which is being extracted. The syringe for injecting glue is arranged inside the sleeve tube (85) and controlled manually via the operating member (17) and the flexible transmission element (18). The invention also relates to a method for extracting a portion of a generator tube at a distance from the ends of the tube. …IMAGE…
