ABSTRACT:
A tool 10 for creating a standard repeatable impact on a nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) structure to determine the response of an accelerometer to the impact of a known energy at a predetermined location on the structure. The tool 10 includes a barrel 12 and a spring 30 which biases a ram 20 reciprocally mounted in the barrel and driven by cam plates 66 and 68 on shaft 60. A flange 28 on ram 20 compresses spring 30 and upon movement of follower 72 to a maximum radial distance from shaft 60, the follower 72 drops down step 70 on the cam surface to allow spring 30 to uncompress and project ram 20 out of the barrel such that end 22 of the ram creates a standard impact on the NSSS structure. A hand crank drives shaft 60. A dampening spring 78 assists in the rebound of the ram 20.
