Technical Field

Background
The underwater oil delivery pipe of the Christmas tree is one of key parts of the Christmas tree, needs to bear larger pressure in the use process, and structurally comprises a pipe body and a welding neck flange which are welded in a full penetration mode, so that the welding seam quality requirement is high; the oil pipeline is connected with an adjacent part through a flange, and the metal sealing gasket ring is used for sealing, so that the precision requirement on the oil pipeline is particularly high, and the fine deformation can cause the sealing failure and medium leakage.
Under the prior art, due to the compact structure of the underwater Christmas tree, the on-site welding method is adopted, so that the operation space is insufficient, and the welding seam quality cannot be ensured; due to the fact that the pipe diameter is small, the wall thickness is large, welding deformation is large when welding is conducted by a conventional method, the center line of the flange deflects relative to the axis of the oil pipeline body, the end face of the flange is not perpendicular to the axis of the oil pipeline body, the length dimension and the relative position error of the flange bolt holes at two ends are large, and assembly quality and sealing performance are seriously affected; and is limited by the structure, and cannot be manufactured by adopting the method of integral machining after assembly welding. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop an assembly welding method for the oil pipeline of the underwater Christmas tree to overcome the above defects.

step 1, placing an auxiliary tool according to a welding position, and respectively installing a connecting seat on two groups of holes predetermined on the upper surface of a tool base;
step 2, connecting the two welding neck flanges to the connecting seats on the side where the two welding neck flanges are located respectively;
step 3, assembling the pipeline body;
adjusting gaps between two ports of the pipeline body and the interfaces of the two welding neck flanges, and respectively aligning the ports by using the two port aligners to realize the positioning of the two ports of the pipeline body and the two welding neck flanges;
step 4, performing all-position welding of a root weld bead by adopting a tungsten electrode argon arc welding method;
before welding, continuously introducing back protective gas into the inner cavity of the pipeline body from the vent hole of the connecting seat at one end, stopping introducing the back protective gas after welding for 2-3 layers, and detaching the two port aligning devices;
step 5, carrying out full-position filling welding and cover surface welding by adopting an electric arc welding method;
and 6, after the electric arc welding is finished, cooling the to-be-welded joint to the ambient temperature, and then removing the auxiliary tool to obtain the welding wire.
The method has the advantages of simple operation, good welding seam quality and high pipeline precision, and solves the problems that the on-site welding of the oil pipeline of the underwater Christmas tree is difficult and the precision requirement of the pipeline cannot be ensured by the conventional method; the auxiliary tool is of a split type combined structure, positioning holes and bolt holes are machined in advance in proper positions on the tool base according to needs when the auxiliary tool is used, the auxiliary tool is suitable for positioning oil pipelines of different sizes, and the universality is good.
