Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline mechanical property testing, and in particular to a method and system for improving pipeline tensile strain capacity and girth welding joint reliability. Background Art

[0002] The failure mode of the girth weld of the natural gas pipeline can be divided into the failure of the weld joint under the tensile load and the failure of the steel pipe parent material at the far end of the weld according to the failure location. The deformation capacity of the steel pipe parent material is much greater than that of the weld. When the steel pipe parent material at the far end of the weld fails under the tensile load, the deformation at the girth weld is small, and the deformation is mainly concentrated on the parent material at the far end of the weld, so the tensile strain of the pipeline is high. For the failure mode of the girth weld, it can be divided into the necking failure of the girth weld joint and the crack propagation failure at the girth weld joint. The former is caused by the low tensile performance of the weld joint, the deformation is mainly concentrated on the weld, and the tensile strain is low. The tensile strain in the latter mainly depends on the fracture mode. When the fracture process is brittle or ductile-brittle mixed type, the crack propagation resistance is low and the tensile strain capacity of the pipeline is poor. When the fracture process is ductile tearing, the crack propagation resistance is high and the tensile strain capacity of the pipeline is good.

[0003] The existing natural gas pipeline welding process specifications only put forward some requirements for the performance of pipeline joints, and cannot guarantee that the failure mode of the pipeline is the far-end yielding type of the weld and the ductile tearing type failure of the heat-affected zone of the weld. Therefore, the failure probability of the pipeline due to the low tensile strain value is high, which has a greater risk. Summary of the invention

[0007] Performing a Charpy impact test on the girth weld joint at the lowest service temperature, and judging whether the toughness of the girth weld joint is reliable according to the Charpy impact test result, thereby obtaining a second judgment result;

[0008] When at least one of the first judgment result and the second judgment result is no, optimizing the welding process of the girth weld joint until both the first judgment result and the second judgment result are yes;

[0009] When both the first judgment result and the second judgment result are yes, a wide plate tensile test is performed on the pipeline, and whether the tensile strain of the pipeline is reliable is judged according to the wide plate tensile test result to obtain a third judgment result. When the third judgment result is yes, the current welding process is determined as the target welding process to perform welding.

[0040] Figure 2 The present invention is a schematic structural diagram of a system for improving the tensile strain capacity of pipelines and the reliability of girth welding joints according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for improving the tensile strain capacity of a pipeline and the reliability of a girth weld joint according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0042] S1. Hardness test:

[0043] Performing hardness tests on the weld of the girth weld joint of the pipeline and the pipe base material adjacent to the weld, drawing a hardness cloud map, and judging whether the hardness of the girth weld joint is reliable according to the hardness cloud map to obtain a first judgment result;

[0044] The hardness test is performed on the weld of the girth weld joint of the pipeline and the pipeline base material adjacent to the weld to obtain the hardness value of each position of the girth weld joint, and a hardness cloud diagram is drawn accordingly.

[0045] S2. Charpy impact test:

[0046] Performing a Charpy impact test on the girth weld joint at the lowest service temperature, judging whether the toughness of the girth weld joint is reliable according to the Charpy impact test result, and obtaining a second judgment result;

[0047] Among them, the minimum service temperature can be set according to actual conditions, such as determining the minimum service temperature according to the working environment of the pipeline.

[0048] Among them, the Charpy impact test is: the fracture shear area of ​​the girth weld joint corresponding to the lowest service temperature.

[0049] S3. When at least one of the first judgment result and the second judgment result is negative, perform optimization:

[0052] When both the first judgment result and the second judgment result are yes, a wide plate tensile test is performed on the pipeline, and whether the tensile strain of the pipeline is reliable is judged according to the wide plate tensile test result to obtain a third judgment result. When the third judgment result is yes, the current welding process is determined as the target welding process to perform welding;

[0053] Among them, the specific process of judging whether the tensile strain of the pipeline is reliable based on the results of the wide plate tensile test is as follows:

[0054] According to the wide plate tensile test results, check whether the girth weld joint is broken at the weld. If so, the third judgment result is unreliable and the welding process needs to be optimized. If not, the third judgment result is reliable.

[0055] S5. When the third judgment result is no, continue to optimize:
