Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of creep supervision of high-temperature and high-pressure steam pipelines in thermal power plants, and particularly relates to a measurement method suitable for creep deformation of high-temperature and high-pressure steam pipelines, which is mainly used for accurate measurement of creep deformation of high-temperature and high-pressure steam pipelines, and further used for creep supervision. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-temperature and high-pressure steam pipelines in thermal power plants mainly include main steam pipelines and high-temperature reheated steam pipelines, and are prone to creep deformation under long-time high-temperature and high-pressure operating conditions. According to the provisions of DL / T 441-2004 "Creep Supervision Regulation for High-Temperature and High-Pressure Steam Pipelines in Thermal Power Plants", the pipelines should be periodically measured for creep to master the creep law of the pipelines and provide reliable technical basis for creep supervision and evaluation of the pipelines. Creep deformation measurement of the pipelines is an important method for metal supervision.

[0003] At present, the creep deformation measurement method specified in the existing creep supervision regulation has been applied for more than 30 years. Through a large number of actual measurements in the past decades, it is found that the creep expansion measurement results of the same pipeline have great variability, sometimes negative creep occurs, i.e. the creep measurement data is negative (ε < 0), sometimes the creep rate is abnormally high, close to or exceeding the creep rate (1 x 10 -5 % / h) specified in DL / T 441, and sometimes the relative creep deformation is always fluctuating around zero, which brings great trouble to technical personnel.

[0004] The analysis of the causes shows that the above-mentioned negative creep or excessively large creep rate in a short period of time is mainly caused by abnormal working state of the support hanger. When the pipeline is running, the cross section of the pipeline wall is subjected to three-way stress, i.e. circumferential stress σ 周 , axial stress σ 轴 and radial stress σ 径 . The calculation formulae of the three-way stress are as follows:

[0005]

[0006] In the formulae, D w —outer diameter, D n —inner diameter, D—outer diameter of the creep measurement point, P—working pressure, σ ZHW —continuous external load axial stress, σ W —continuous external load equivalent stress.

[0007] The relationship among stress, creep strain and creep strain rate of the pipeline under the three-way stress state can be obtained according to Von. Mises yield condition (fourth strength theory). The Von. Mises equivalent stress is represented by σ e , and the formula is as follows:

[0008]

[0009] Correspondingly, the equivalent creep strain ε e is:

[0010]

[0011] where ε 周 — circumferential relative creep deformation, ε 轴 — axial relative creep deformation, ε 径 — radial relative creep deformation.

[0012] Correspondingly, the equivalent creep strain rate is:

[0013]

[0014] where, — circumferential creep velocity component, — axial creep velocity component, — radial creep velocity component.

[0015] Correspondingly, the plastic constitutive equation of creep deformation under three-dimensional stress state can be obtained from the equivalent stress and Levy-Mises flow rule as:

[0016]

[0017] According to equation (1) and equation (5), when some of the support and hanger conditions are abnormal, the sustained external load axial stress σ ZHW and the sustained external load equivalent stress σ W increase, resulting in an increase in the axial stress σ 轴 suffered by the pipeline. When the axial stress σ 轴 is large, the circumferential creep velocity component will be small, when the axial stress σ 轴 is too large, and negative creep occurs, and when the axial stress σ 轴 is compressive stress, the circumferential creep velocity component will increase significantly.

[0018] Therefore, according to the current creep supervision regulations, there is only one section for creep measurement, and the measured creep data is the circumferential relative creep deformation, i.e. ε 周 . Under normal circumstances, σ 周 > σ 轴 > σ 径 , the circumferential relative creep deformation ε 周 of the pipeline accounts for the main part, and the creep velocity can reflect the creep law of the pipeline in operation. However, when the axial stress σ轴 When the effect is large, only measuring the circumferential relative creep deformation cannot reflect the creep condition of the pipeline, and further correct supervision and evaluation cannot be performed. SUMMARY
