3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 nuclear grade isostatic graphite
Graphite for nuclear industry that is manufactured from raw materials such as carbon
aggregate and asphalt through grinding, kneading, isostatic pressing, roasting,
impregnation, graphitization, purification and other process steps.
NOTE: In the case of fast neutron (En≥0.1MeV) irradiation, this kind of graphite needs to consider
the influence of size and material property changes on the design. It is mainly used for high
temperature gas-cooled reactor reflector components. These components also perform the function
of the core support structure.
3.2 isotropy; α
The ratio of the thermal expansion coefficient in the molding gravity direction to the
thermal expansion coefficient in the vertical molding gravity direction.
4 Classification
According to the index of isotropy, nuclear grade isostatic graphite is divided into
isotropic nuclear grade isostatic pressing graphite, nearly isotropic nuclear grade
isostatic pressing graphite and anisotropic nuclear grade isostatic pressing graphite.
5 Technical requirements

See Table 1 for the basic technical indicator requirements of nuclear grade isostatic
graphite that are not irradiated.

6.11 Boron equivalent
According to the provisions of JY/T 0567, the impurity content of at least six elements
Gd, B, Sm, Eu, Cd and Li shall be tested. The boron equivalent is calculated according
to formula (1):
Where,
A - The boron equivalent;
CGd - The content of Gd gadolinium element in the sample;
CB - The content of B boron element in the sample;
CSm - The content of Sm samarium element in the sample;
CEu - The content of Eu europium element in the sample;
CCd - The content of Cd cadmium element in the sample;
CLi - The content of Li lithium element in the sample.
NOTE: The coefficient before each content in the formula is the boron equivalent factor of the
corresponding impurity element.
6.12 Test method for graphite irradiation
Refer to Annex A for the test method for graphite irradiation.
NOTE: Annex A is for reference only.
7 Inspection rules
7.1 Batching
Each graphite block shall have a unique traceability number. The same designation of
graphite in the same graphitization furnace is a batch.
7.2 Sampling
When sampling for testing of tensile strength and compressive strength of graphite, the
sampling quantity A specified in Table 2 shall be carried out. When sampling for testing
of graphite thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, isotropy, graphite
flexural strength, fracture toughness, graphite composition, it shall be carried out
