Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of stress detection equipment for shale gas pipelines, specifically to a stress detection device and method for shale gas pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Pipelines are subjected to high-temperature and high-pressure media during production and service, especially shale gas pipelines in mountainous areas. Due to their unavoidable location in areas prone to geological disasters, they are susceptible to surface deformation. Furthermore, the terrain they traverse has undulating terrain and significant elevation differences. These factors make shale gas pipelines in mountainous areas highly susceptible to stress concentration, directly leading to localized deformation and reduced structural strength. This can further develop into minor defects that severely reduce the lifespan of shale gas pipelines in mountainous areas, ultimately causing pipeline failure and resulting in major safety accidents.

[0003] Existing technologies require stress testing of pipelines before installation, and the current testing method is usually software testing, which involves putting various parameters into simulation software and then conducting simulation tests. However, it is difficult to use software to simulate and test pipeline stress on the construction site, and existing technologies cannot meet the on-site stress testing needs during shale gas pipeline construction.

[0016] II. A method for stress detection in shale gas pipelines

[0017] Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides a method for stress detection of shale gas pipelines, which, based on the shale gas pipeline stress detection device described above, mainly includes the following steps:

[0018] S1, two external fixing sleeves 1 are symmetrically fitted onto the outer wall of the pipe to be tested, so that the center of symmetry of the external fixing sleeve 1 coincides with the center of the measurement point of the pipe to be tested;

[0019] S2, turn on the drive motor 408 to drive the adjusting gear ring 406 to rotate. When the adjusting gear ring 406 rotates, it drives the pressure block 409 to push the force plate 400 inward along the radial direction of the pipe to be tested, so that the force plate 400 presses the outer wall of the pipe to be tested.

[0020] S3, read the pressure applied by the force plate 400 to the outer wall of the pipe under test through the force measuring column 402;

[0021] S4, apply a bending moment to the pipe to be tested, so that the measuring plate 500 bends along with the outer wall of the pipe to be tested;

[0022] S5, the force measuring plate 500 slides relative to the transition window and presses the connected force measuring spring 506, causing the force measuring spring 506 to move relative to the measuring plate 504;

[0023] S6. By measuring the position of the end of the force measuring spring 506 corresponding to the scale line on the measuring plate 504, the bending moment borne by the pipe under test is read.

[0024] S7. Based on the read pressure and bending moment, calculate the stress borne by the pipe under test.

[0025] Furthermore, the unit torque M0 of the scale line on the measuring plate 504 satisfies the following formula:

[0026]

[0027] In the formula, L is the total length of the bent section of the pipe to be tested, EI is the rotational stiffness of the pipe to be tested, h is the total length of the measuring plate, l is the total length of the force measuring plate, N is the total number of scale lines, and C is a correction coefficient related to the material of the pipe to be tested.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0029] 1. This invention proposes a stress detection device for shale gas pipelines. Two external fixing sleeves can be directly fitted onto the outside of the pipeline at the construction site. Then, the drive motor is turned on to drive the adjusting gear ring to rotate. When the adjusting gear ring rotates, it will drive the pressure block to move together. As the pressure block moves into the adjustment window, the pressure block will push the force plate to move towards the surface of the pipeline, thereby using the force plate to squeeze the outer wall of the pipeline. As the force plate moves towards the surface of the pipeline, it will squeeze the force measuring column, so that the force measuring column displays the pressure applied by the force plate to the surface of the pipeline.

[0030] 3. When using this invention, the force measuring plate will slide within the transition window when the pipe is bent. When the force measuring plate slides, it will squeeze the force measuring spring. When the force measuring spring is squeezed, the scale on the surface of the measuring plate will be displayed, thus showing the bending force during bending. The stress of the pipe can be detected in the above way.

[0031] 4. This invention proposes a stress detection method for shale gas pipelines. By directly reading the pressure and bending moment borne by the outer wall of the pipeline under test through a force measuring column and a measuring plate, the stress borne by the pipeline under test can be calculated. This method can achieve efficient and rapid pipeline stress detection, and the measurement steps do not require the use of additional software systems, which can meet the on-site stress detection needs during shale gas pipeline construction.

[0046] A reset rod 404 is slidably connected inside the force-applying plate 400. A reset spring 405 is sleeved on the outside of the reset rod 404. A slider 411 is fixedly connected to one end of the reset rod 404 located on the force-applying plate 400.

After the pressure block 409 is reset, the force-applying plate 400 will be reset under the action of the reset spring 405.

[0047] The force measuring structure 5 includes a force measuring plate 500. The force measuring plate 500 is elastic and can be made of stainless steel. A docking window 501 is provided in the middle of the force measuring plate 500, and the force applying plate 400 passes through the docking window 501 through the force measuring plate 500.
