Testing method of performance for vacuum insulation
cryogenic equipment - Part 6.Heat-leak rate measurement
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 18443 specifies test principles and methods, test devices, equipment
and instruments, test conditions and test preparation, test procedures, data processing
and test record and test report for the heat-leak rate measurement of vacuum insulation
cryogenic equipment.
This part applies to the heat-leak rate measurement of vacuum insulation cryogenic
pressure vessels, vacuum insulation cryogenic welded gas cylinders, vacuum insulation
pipes and their pipe fittings, except the liquid hydrogen storing and transporting
equipment. Other equipment can refer to this document for the implementation.
The flowmeter measurement method is suitable for the heat-leak rate measurement of
vacuum insulation cryogenic pressure vessels, vacuum insulation cryogenic welding
gas cylinders and other vacuum insulation cryogenic equipment. The surface
temperature measurement method is suitable for the heat-leak rate measurement of
vacuum insulation pipes and their fittings.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions defined in GB/T
18443.1~GB/T 18443.5 as well as the followings apply.
3.1 heat-leak rate
The heat transferred from the surrounding environment to the storage medium of the
vacuum insulation cryogenic equipment per unit time, in watts (W).
3.2 test heat-leak rate
After the vacuum insulation cryogenic equipment is fully cooled and reaches thermal
equilibrium, the heat transferred from the surrounding environment to the storage
medium of the vacuum adiabatic cryogenic equipment per unit time, in watts (W).
3.3 heat-leak rate of standard ambient condition
The test heat-leak rate is converted to the value of the heat-leak rate under the standard
environmental state, in watts (W).
4 Test principles and methods
4.1 Flowmeter measurement method
The test principle, method and device conform to the provisions of 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 in
GB/T 18443.5-2010.
4.2 Surface temperature measurement method
4.2.1 Test principle and method
Measure the outer surface temperature of the vacuum insulation pipe and the
corresponding ambient temperature. Calculate the heat-leak rate into the vacuum
insulation pipe according to the natural convection in the large space. Calculate the heat
conduction heat-leak rate of the joint according to the difference between the measured
temperature of the air side of the joint and the temperature of the liquid. Or establish
the finite element heat transfer model of the joint to solve the heat-leak rate of the joint.
The schematic diagram of the test device is shown in Figure 1.
b) The rated flow rate of the flowmeter shall be compatible with the gas flow rate
evaporated by the tested vacuum insulation cryogenic pipe;
c) There shall be ambient temperature, ambient atmospheric pressure and flowmeter
inlet temperature and pressure measurement devices.
6 Test conditions and test preparation
6.1 Test conditions and test preparation shall comply with the provisions of GB/T
18443.1.
6.2 When using the surface temperature method, the measurement shall be carried out
in a room protected from light, natural convection and no wind.
6.3 The effective length of the test vacuum insulation pipe shall not be less than 5m. No
less than 6 temperature measurement points are evenly distributed at the bottom of the
surface of the outer pipe with a length of 3m in the middle.
6.4 The inner volume of the auxiliary test section shall be greater than twice the inner
volume of the test vacuum insulation pipe. The height of the auxiliary test section shall
be less than 1.5m.
7 Test steps
7.1 Flowmeter measurement method
The test procedures, test process and data record shall comply with the provisions in
7.1 of GB/T 18443.5.
7.2 Surface temperature measurement method
7.2.1 Liquid nitrogen is generally used as the test medium. The actual delivered
cryogenic liquid can be used as the test medium.
7.2.2 Open valve 10.Use the cryogenic container 11 to continuously deliver cryogenic
liquid to the test vacuum insulation pipe and its pipe fittings until they are full. When
the liquid level in the auxiliary test section drops to half, it shall be refilled with liquid.
Ensure that the test vacuum insulation pipe is filled with test medium liquid.
7.2.3 The data can be recorded only after the vacuum insulation pipe and its fittings
have been continuously conveying cryogenic liquid for 24h.
7.2.4 The data recording shall be based on the time interval of not more than 10min,
collection surface and ambient temperature, until the relative error of the collected data
within 1h is less than ± 5%.
