Your needs: carry out chemical analysis to meet RCC-M requirements
What is the RCC-M code?
The RCC-M is the French code that defines the Rules for the Design and Construction of Mechanical Equipment for PWR nuclear islands. It is a set of French technical standards governing the design, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical components for pressurised water nuclear reactors (PWRs).
It is mainly used by the nuclear industry to guarantee the safety and reliability of equipment subjected to extreme conditions.
Why carry out chemical analysis to meet RCC-M requirements?
If you are responsible for manufacturing or modifying equipment intended for use in nuclear power plants in accordance with the RCC-M, you need to analyse the chloride, fluoride and sulphide content of your products in accordance with Appendix V of the RCC-M.
These corrosion precursors are strictly controlled for all materials entering nuclear power plants.
Analysis can be carried out by combustion or by leaching, using ion chromatography (CI/CLI).
The FILAB laboratory can help you with chemical analysis to meet RCC-M requirements
