The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0040] The following refers to Figures 1 - 3 , and describes a test fixture 100 for testing the circumferential tensile performance of a test pipe fitting 0 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a test fixture 100 for testing the circumferential tensile performance of a test pipe fitting 0 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the test fixture 100 includes: a bearing table 1, a limiting member 2, and a sealing member 3. The bearing table 1 is adapted to be sealingly fitted to one axial end of the pipe fitting 0, the limiting member 2 includes a limiting pipe portion 21, the limiting member 2 is adapted to be provided at the other axial end of the pipe fitting 0, the limiting pipe portion 21 is located at one end of the limiting member 2 adjacent to the bearing table 1, and the limiting pipe portion 21 is adapted to be sealingly fitted to the pipe fitting 0. The sealing member 3 is sealingly fitted within the limiting pipe portion 21, and the sealing member 3 is adapted to jointly define a closed chamber with the limiting pipe portion 21, the pipe fitting 0, and the bearing table 1. A test liquid 4 is adapted to be filled within the closed chamber, and the sealing member 3 is adapted to move towards the bearing table 1 under the pressure of a pressurizing device.

[0042] The bearing table 1, the pipe fitting 0, the limiting pipe portion 21, and the sealing member 3 cooperate to jointly define a closed chamber. The pressurizing device can directly or indirectly push the sealing member 3 towards the bearing table 1. The limiting pipe portion 21 can play a good guiding role in the movement of the sealing member 3, facilitating ensuring that the test liquid 4 always bears the load applied along the axial direction of the pipe fitting 0, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of test data. For example, the pressurizing device can be a conventional pressure testing machine such as a single-column hydraulic press. The pressurizing device 4 compresses the test liquid 4, converts the pressure of the pressurizing device into the hydraulic pressure of the test liquid 4, and the pressure of the test liquid 4 is converted into a circumferential expansion force to achieve the circumferential tensile loading of the pipe fitting 0, thereby testing the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0, replacing the traditional water pressure test, solving the contradiction that the traditional water pressure test cannot be used in conjunction with a conventional pressure testing machine, and enabling the use of a traditional pressure testing machine to complete the test.

[0043] It can be understood that the arrangement manner of the pipe fitting 0 can be specifically set according to actual applications. For example, when the pipe fitting 0 is vertically arranged, the bearing table 1 and the limiting member 2 are respectively provided at the upper end and the lower end of the pipe fitting 0. For example, in the Figure 1 and Figure 2 example, the bearing table 1 is sealingly fitted to the lower end of the pipe fitting 0, and the limiting member 2 is provided at the upper end of the pipe fitting 0; when the pipe fitting 0 is horizontally arranged, the bearing table 1 and the limiting member 2 are respectively provided at the two axial ends of the pipe fitting 0; but it is not limited thereto.

[0044] The test fixture 100 for testing the circumferential tensile performance of the test pipe fitting 0 according to an embodiment of the present invention, through the cooperation of the bearing table 1, the pipe fitting 0, the limiting pipe portion 21, and the sealing member 3, defines a closed chamber. The test liquid 4 is filled within the closed chamber. The pressurizing device pressurizes and compresses the test liquid 4 through the sealing member 3, converts the mechanical pressure into hydraulic pressure to test the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0. The test equipment is simple, the test data is accurate and reliable, and the test process is convenient to achieve a certain degree of safety and controllability. Thus, when the test fixture 100 tests the circumferential tensile performance of a composite material wound pipe, it is convenient to obtain the fiber failure strength of the composite material, and further can better meet the requirements of the civil engineering field.

[0045] For example, the carrier table 1 and the stopper 2 are preferably machined parts of a precision numerical control machine tool, having high dimensional accuracy and being suitable for mating with the pipe fitting 0. The outer diameter of the seal 3 should be equal to or slightly larger than the inner diameter of the stopper tube portion 21, so that the seal 3 and the stopper tube portion 21 are closely fitted to prevent the test liquid 4 from leaking; for example, the difference between the outer diameter of the seal 3 and the inner diameter of the stopper tube portion 21 may not exceed 1 mm. The seal 3 should also have high shear strength and deformation ability, so as to ensure that the seal 3 does not break prior to the pipe fitting 0 during the test. Of course, the strength of the seal 3 can be determined according to different test pipe fittings 0. For example, when the pipe fitting 0 is a composite material wound pipe, the strength of the seal 3 is not less than 30 MPa. The test liquid 4 should have appropriate viscosity, good viscosity-temperature performance, good oxidation stability performance and good anti-foaming performance, such as engine oil, etc.

[0046] During the test, the carrier table 1 can be fixed on the platform of the pressurizing device; of course, a part of the platform of the pressurizing device can be formed as the carrier table 1.

[0047] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the test fixture 100 for testing the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0 further includes: a pressure-bearing disc 5, the pressure-bearing disc 5 is adapted to extend into the stopper tube portion 21, and the pressure-bearing disc 5 abuts against the side of the seal 3 away from the carrier table 1, and the pressure-bearing disc 5 is used to transmit the pressure of the pressurizing device to the seal 3. Specifically, the specifications of the pressurizing device are generally fixed. When testing different pipe fittings 0, when the diameter of the pipe fitting 0 is large and the contact area between the pressure head of the pressurizing device and the seal 3 is small, it is easy to have uneven stress, which affects the test effect. The diameter of the pressure-bearing disc 5 can be slightly smaller than that of the pipe fitting 0, so that there is a large contact area between the pressure-bearing disc 5 and the seal 3. Then the pressure-bearing disc 5 is adapted to transmit the pressure of the pressurizing device to the seal 3 more evenly, so that when the test fixture 100 tests different pipe fittings 0, the same pressurizing device can be used for loading, improving the applicability and versatility of the test fixture 100. Among them, the pressure-bearing disc 5 is preferably a machined part of a precision numerical control machine tool, having high dimensional accuracy.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the carrier table 1 has a first sealing edge 11, and the first sealing edge 11 is adapted to be sealingly fitted with the pipe fitting 0 through a first sealing ring 6. The first sealing ring 6 is an H-shaped sealing ring. Specifically, the cross-section of the first sealing ring 6 is H-shaped, and the cross-section of the first sealing ring 6 has two notches, and the two notches are respectively in close fit with the first sealing edge 11 and the pipe fitting 0 to achieve the sealing between the carrier table 1 and the pipe fitting 0. Among them, the first sealing ring 6 should have high shear strength and deformation ability, so as to ensure that during the test process, the first sealing ring 6 will not be damaged prior to the pipe fitting 0; the strength of the first sealing ring 6 can be determined according to different test pipe fittings 0. For example, when the pipe fitting 0 is a composite material wound pipe, the strength of the first sealing ring 6 is not less than 30 MPa.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, one end of the limiting pipe portion 21 facing the carrier table 1 has a second sealing edge 211, and the second sealing edge 211 is adapted to be sealingly fitted with the pipe fitting 0 through a second sealing ring 7. The second sealing ring 7 is an H-shaped sealing ring. Specifically, the cross-section of the second sealing ring 7 is H-shaped, and the cross-section of the second sealing ring 7 has two notches, and the two notches are respectively in close fit with the second sealing edge 211 and the pipe fitting 0 to achieve the sealing between the limiting pipe portion 21 and the pipe fitting 0. Among them, the second sealing ring 7 should have high shear strength and deformation ability, so as to ensure that during the test process, the second sealing ring 7 will not be damaged prior to the pipe fitting 0; the strength of the second sealing ring 7 can be determined according to different test pipe fittings 0. For example, when the pipe fitting 0 is a composite material wound pipe, the strength of the second sealing ring 7 is not less than 30 MPa.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the test fixture 100 for testing the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0 further includes: an elastic sealing bag 8. The elastic sealing bag 8 is adapted to be arranged in a closed chamber, and the elastic sealing bag 8 is used to contain the test liquid 4. Specifically, the elastic sealing bag 8 has elasticity, and the elastic sealing bag 8 is arranged between the test liquid 4 and the pipe fitting 0, which is convenient for ensuring that the test liquid 4 effectively fills the closed chamber and avoiding dead corners. At the same time, the arrangement of the elastic sealing bag 8 will not affect the hydraulic pressure distribution acting on the pipe fitting 0. During the circumferential tensile performance test of the pipe fitting 0, the pipe fitting 0 may not be able to withstand the hydraulic pressure and be damaged, and at that time, the high-pressure liquid will spray out and cause damage. The elastic sealing bag 8 avoids the above situation because of its elasticity. That is to say, when the pipe fitting 0 is damaged under the action of hydraulic pressure, the test liquid 4 is still completely sealed in the elastic sealing bag 8, avoiding the leakage of the test liquid 4. Thus, by setting the elastic sealing bag 8, the test fixture 100 has good test safety controllability during the test process, improving the safety factor of the test. When the pipe fitting 0 is a composite material wound pipe, it can ensure that the test fixture 100 tests the circumferential tensile performance of the composite material wound pipe, and the fiber failure strength of the composite material wound pipe can be obtained.

[0051] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the elastic sealing bag 8 is formed into a cylindrical structure, and the elastic sealing bag 8 has a sealing opening which is located at one end of the elastic sealing bag 8 adjacent to the bearing platform 1, and the sealing opening is adhesively sealed. Specifically, the cylindrical elastic sealing bag 8 is easy to cooperate with the pipe fitting 0, which is beneficial to reducing the deformation of the elastic sealing bag 8 and facilitating the placement of the elastic sealing bag 8 filled with the test liquid 4 into the pipe fitting 0. The sealing opening is suitable for being sealed after the test liquid 4 is filled. The sealing opening is close to the bearing platform 1 side, which is beneficial to ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing opening and making the sealing opening not easy to break. Among them, the elastic sealing bag 8 can be a cylindrical structure, which is convenient for further reducing the deformation of the elastic sealing bag 8, but is not limited thereto.

[0052] Optionally, the elastic sealing bag 8 is a cylindrical structure, and the diameter of the cylindrical structure is equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter of the pipe fitting 0, and the difference between the diameter of the pipe fitting 0 and the diameter of the above-mentioned cylindrical structure does not exceed 1 mm.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic sealing bag 8 is a latex part or a rubber part. Specifically, both the latex part and the rubber part have good elasticity and are not easy to break; of course, it can be understood that the material of the elastic sealing bag 8 is not limited thereto, such as tetrafluoroethylene, etc.

[0054] Of course, in this application, the elastic sealing bag 8 may not be provided. At this time, the safety of the test personnel can be ensured by the test personnel staying away from the test fixture 100 and setting a protective cover outside the test fixture 100.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, if the pipe fitting 0 is a composite material wound pipe, then the test fixture 100 in this application can be used to test the circumferential tensile performance of the composite material wound pipe. Among them, the composite material wound pipe can be used in civil engineering. Of course, it can be understood that the material of the pipe fitting 0 is not limited thereto.

[0056] In some embodiments, during the test, strain gauges can be pasted on the outer surface of the pipe fitting 0 to measure the strain change during the test, so as to obtain the circumferential tensile modulus of the pipe fitting 0. For example, when the pipe fitting 0 is a composite material wound pipe, strain gauges can be pasted on the surface of the composite material wound pipe, and by measuring the change of the strain gauges during the test, the circumferential tensile modulus of the composite material wound pipe can be obtained.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the axial length of the limiting tube portion 21 is greater than or equal to 20 mm. Specifically, the length of the limiting tube portion 21 is greater than 20 mm, that is, the maximum displacement allowed for the seal 3 is greater than 20 mm, which can avoid the situation that the pipe fitting 0 has not been damaged yet after the displacement stroke of the seal 3 is completed during the test. That is to say, it can avoid the seal 3 moving into the pipe fitting 0 during the test, so that during the whole test process, the seal 3 is always sealed within the limiting tube portion 21.

[0058] The test device for testing the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a circumferential tensile performance test fixture 100 for the pipe fitting 0 and a pressurizing device. The circumferential tensile performance test fixture 100 for the pipe fitting 0 is the circumferential tensile performance test fixture 100 according to the above embodiment. The pressurizing device is used to apply a pressure along the axial direction of the pipe fitting 0 to the seal 3 so that the seal 3 moves towards the bearing platform 1.

[0059] The test device for testing the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by adopting the above circumferential tensile performance test fixture 100 for the pipe fitting 0, converts mechanical pressure into hydraulic pressure to test the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0. The test equipment is simple, the test process is safe and controllable, and the test data is accurate and reliable.

[0060] The test method for testing the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the test method is realized by using the above test device for testing the circumferential tensile performance of the pipe fitting 0, and includes the following steps:

[0061] S1, the pipe fitting 0 is arranged vertically, and the pipe fitting 0 is installed between the bearing platform 1 and the limiting tube portion 21, so that the lower end of the pipe fitting 0 can be in sealing fit with the bearing platform 1, and the upper end of the pipe fitting 0 can be in sealing fit with the limiting tube portion 21;

[0062] S2, test liquid 4 is injected into the pipe fitting 0, and the liquid level of the test liquid 4 is above the pipe fitting 0. That is to say, the whole pipe fitting 0 is completely below the liquid level of the test liquid 4, ensuring that during the test process, the whole pipe fitting 0 is under the action of hydraulic pressure;

[0063] S3, the seal 3 is installed into the limiting tube portion 21. At this time, the seal 3, together with the limiting tube portion 21, the pipe fitting 0 and the bearing platform 1, defines a closed chamber, and the test liquid 4 is located in the closed chamber;

[0064] S4, the pressurizing device pressurizes the seal 3 to conduct an axial compression test until the pipe fitting 0 is damaged, and the circumferential expansion load borne by the pipe fitting 0 can be calculated according to the axial pressure load applied by the pressure device.

[0065] According to the test method for the circumferential tensile property of the test pipe fitting 0 according to the embodiments of the present invention, by adopting the above test device for the circumferential tensile property of the test pipe fitting 0, mechanical pressure is converted into hydraulic pressure to test the circumferential tensile property of the pipe fitting 0. The test equipment is simple, the test process is safe and controllable, and the test data is accurate and reliable.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the test fixture 100 further includes a pressure-bearing plate 5. The pressure-bearing plate 5 is adapted to extend into the limiting pipe portion 21, and the pressure-bearing plate 5 abuts against the side of the seal 3 away from the bearing platform 1. The pressure-bearing plate 5 is used to transfer the pressure of the pressurizing device to the seal 3. At this time, the test method further includes placing the pressure-bearing plate 5 in the limiting pipe portion 21 between steps S3 and S4, and making the pressure-bearing plate 5 placed on the upper end of the seal 3 to abut against the upper end of the seal 3.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the test fixture 100 further includes an elastic seal bag 8. The elastic seal bag 8 is arranged in the closed chamber, and the elastic seal bag 8 is used to contain the test liquid 4. At this time, in step S2, after filling the elastic seal bag 8 with the test liquid 4, the elastic seal bag 8 is placed inside the test fixture 100 and the pipe fitting 0. At this time, the liquid level of the test liquid 4 is above the pipe fitting 0.

[0068] For example, in the Figure 2 example, the test fixture 100 includes a bearing platform 1, a limiting member 2, a seal 3, a pressure-bearing plate 5 and an elastic seal bag 8. The bearing platform 1 is hermetically fitted to the lower end of the pipe fitting 0 through a first sealing ring 6. The limiting member 2 includes a limiting pipe portion 21. The limiting pipe portion 21 is formed into a tubular structure. The limiting pipe portion 21 is hermetically fitted to the upper end of the pipe fitting 0 through a second sealing ring 7. The seal 3 is hermetically fitted inside the limiting pipe portion 21, and the seal 3, the limiting pipe portion 21, the pipe fitting 0 and the bearing platform 1 jointly define a closed chamber. The limiting pipe portion 21 is coaxially arranged with the pipe fitting 0. The pressure-bearing plate 5 extends into the limiting pipe portion 21, and the pressure-bearing plate 5 abuts against the side of the seal 3 away from the bearing platform 1.
