Description

Pipe fitting connection tightness detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sealing performance test, in particular to a method for detecting the air tightness of gas pipeline pipe fittings and pipeline connection.
Background
With the development of the hydrogen energy industry, the transportation of the hydrogen-doped natural gas based on the existing gas pipeline becomes an economic and efficient research and development direction. The air tightness of the connection of the steel-plastic adapter, the valve and other pipe fittings and the pipeline is a key link in the gas pipeline quality evaluation process. The good air tightness can not only avoid gas waste caused by leakage of a pipeline system, but also reduce the occurrence probability of safety accidents such as explosion and the like caused by gas permeation leakage, and the gas tightness is directly related to the life and property safety of vast users.
Current methods of testing the tightness of pipe joints generally suffer from two problems: first, the problem of detection safety is not considered. The internal air of the test pipeline system is not discharged before the test, so that the combustible gas for testing the air tightness is mixed with the air in the pipe, and serious potential safety hazards are buried; secondly, the leak detection method is single, and the reliability is insufficient. The air tightness of the pipe fitting is evaluated only by the change of the pressure representation number in the test process, and the precision of the pressure gauge is limited, so that fine leakage is difficult to detect, and the leakage position is difficult to quickly determine. Therefore, under the large background, a safe and reliable detection method for testing the air tightness of the connection between the pipe fittings such as the steel-plastic adapter and the valve and the pipeline is urgently needed.
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not necessarily constitute prior art.

step 4: mixing the gas components required by the test by using a digital gas mixing device, opening a gas delivery valve to introduce the gas into a pipeline system, and closing the valve after the gas delivery valve is completed;
Step 5: standing the pipeline system, periodically observing the pressure gauge number of the test system within a set time, paying attention to whether the gas sensor has an alarm or not, or observing whether the soapy water generates bubbles or not, and recording;
Step 6: after the test is finished, the exhaust valve is opened, the gas is exhausted through the digital gas mixing device, the pipeline system is disassembled, and the test results are summarized.
The further improvement is that: and (2) after the pipeline system is installed in the step (2), introducing inert gases such as nitrogen and the like to detect whether the pipeline is properly connected.
The further improvement is that: and (3) after the test in the step (6) is finished, starting a vacuum pump to pump out the test gas in the pipeline system, inputting inert gas such as nitrogen into the pipeline through a gas mixing device to balance the air pressure of the pipeline system with the air environment, and then removing the pipeline system.
