Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline construction, and in particular relates to a nuclear power plant large-diameter hand-jointed glass fiber reinforced plastic pipeline water pressure testing device and a flushing pressure testing method, a drainage method and a maintenance manhole opening method. Background Art

[0002] FRP pipe is a new type of composite material pipe, which mainly uses glass fiber as reinforcement material and unsaturated polyester resin, epoxy resin and other high molecular weight components as basic materials. FRP pipe has been widely used in nuclear power plants due to its unique strong corrosion resistance, smooth inner surface, low transmission energy consumption, long service life, convenient transportation and installation, low maintenance cost and low comprehensive cost.

[0003] The connection of FRP pipes adopts the hand lay-up process, which is the earliest and most commonly used molding method in the production of resin-based composite materials. The hand lay-up process uses a resin mixture with a curing agent as the matrix and glass fiber and its fabric as the reinforcing material. The glass fiber and its fabric are bonded together by hand brushing and pasting. However, for large-diameter FRP pipes, due to various objective conditions such as water source, water volume, difficulty in end plugging, and inability to drain, it is impossible to conduct a water pressure acceptance test on the entire pipeline and to check whether there is leakage at the on-site hand lay-up.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention has innovatively developed a nuclear power plant large-diameter hand-connected glass fiber reinforced plastic pipeline water pressure testing device, which has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, and reusability.

[0024] 6) Save the device for the next pressure test.

[0025] A method for opening a maintenance manhole of a large-diameter hand-connected glass fiber reinforced plastic pipeline water pressure test device in a nuclear power plant comprises the following steps:

[0037] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] The present invention provides a nuclear power plant large-diameter hand-pasted fiberglass pipe water pressure test device, which is used to improve the problems existing in the existing nuclear power plant fiberglass pipe water pressure test. The pipeline water pressure test device is used to replace the existing situation of only conducting water pressure tests in a smaller closed chamber by on-site hand-pasting and overall pressure testing, so that the entire section of the pipeline can participate in the water pressure test, and the reliability of the subsequent use of the pipeline can be improved. At the same time, the device can be reused. After each pressure test, only the accumulated part needs to be cut off and it can be used for the next overall pressure test of the pipe section. The water inlet, water outlet, exhaust port, pressure gauge and other interfaces are integrated on one side of the device for easy operation and observation, and all interface positions are fixed to the main device by hand-pasting to improve the strength of the interface and ensure smooth pressure testing. A flange inspection channel is added on the left side of the water pressure test device. If a leak occurs during the pressure testing process, the inside of the pipeline can be entered through the inspection channel to repair the leak, avoiding the overall removal of the tooling. The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0039] In order to solve the problem that during the water pressure test of large-diameter FRP pipelines in traditional nuclear power plants, a connecting sleeve is sleeved on the butt joint of two pipelines, a pressure test nozzle is provided on the connecting sleeve, and the water pressure test is only carried out in the smaller closed cavity between the sealing rubber rings of the two pipelines, and the pressure bearing capacity of other pipelines is not tested and verified, the test device is fixed on both sides of the large-diameter FRP pipeline to be tested by hand-jointed connection, and the pressure test device and the FRP pipeline are pressurized as a whole, which ensures the reliability of the water pressure test of the FRP pipeline.

[0040] In order to solve the problem that traditional large-diameter glass pipe water pressure testing devices cannot be reused, the present invention adopts an on-site hand arc method for connection. After the pressure test is completed, the entire device can be used for the next overall pressure test of the pipe section by cutting off the water paste accumulation part, which effectively reduces the repeated manufacturing cost of the device.

[0041] In order to solve the problem that when a traditional nuclear power plant's large-diameter hand-sealed FRP pipeline is subjected to a water pressure test and leaks occur during the pressure test, the tooling needs to be completely removed for leak repair. The present invention increases a maintenance manhole on one side of the device by means of a flange connection. When an abnormal situation such as pipeline leakage occurs, the inside of the pipeline can be entered for repair by opening the maintenance manhole, thus avoiding repeated installation of the hand-sealed pipeline and greatly improving the fault tolerance rate.

[0042] In order to solve the problem that the water inlet and outlet, exhaust and other interfaces of the traditional FRP pipe water pressure testing device are located on both sides of the pressure testing device, and personnel need to cross a long distance to perform corresponding operations, the present invention integrates all external interfaces such as water inlet and outlet, exhaust, pressure gauge, etc. in the testing device on one side of the device, and all interfaces are connected by hand arc, which greatly facilitates personnel to perform corresponding operations, improves work efficiency, and enhances the overall strength and stability of the device.

[0057] 4) After all the water in the FRP pipe is drained, close the control valves of the exhaust port 9 and the drain port 11;

[0058] 5) Use special equipment to cut off the overlapping parts of the left blind end 1 and the right blind end 10 and the hand-bonded connection of the pipeline to be pressure tested;

[0059] 6) Store the device properly for the next pressure test.
