Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bolt axial stress measurement, in particular to an ultrasonic calculation method for the axial stress of an in-service bolt taking temperature into consideration. Background Art

[0002] Bolts are one of the important fasteners and are widely used because of their advantages such as easy assembly and disassembly, and easy maintenance. When the in-service bolts are connected to the connecting equipment, axial stress will be generated. When the axial stress of the in-service bolts is too large, fatigue cracks are likely to occur. When the axial stress is too small, the connection strength is insufficient. Therefore, it is very necessary to determine the tightness and safety of the in-service bolt connection by measuring the axial stress of the in-service bolts.

[0003] Traditional methods for detecting axial stress of in-service bolts usually use torque wrench method, strain gauge method, etc. The torque wrench method can only be used for tightening control of in-service bolts, and this method is easily affected by the friction between the connection surfaces of in-service bolts, resulting in low measurement accuracy. The use of the strain gauge method is limited by the instrument and installation conditions, and this method is mostly used for stress calculation in the laboratory.

[0004] In order to avoid the influence of the above-mentioned prior art, patent CN115855331A discloses a method for measuring the axial force of an in-service bolt based on the absolute acoustic time ratio of ultrasonic transverse and longitudinal waves. The method comprises the following steps: 1. Measuring the ultrasonic stress detection system

[0005] 1. Select in-service bolts with the same material and heat treatment method as the in-service bolts for laboratory calibration to obtain the absolute acoustic time ratio of transverse and longitudinal waves and the double-wave stress coefficient under zero stress; 2. Obtain the external dimensions of the in-service bolts and use ultrasonic wave to calibrate the bolts.

[0006] The force detection system obtains the absolute acoustic time of the transverse wave and the absolute acoustic time of the longitudinal wave of the in-service bolt after deducting the system delay; 4. The measured absolute acoustic time is temperature corrected to obtain the corrected absolute acoustic time ratio of the transverse and longitudinal waves; 5. The double-wave stress coefficient of the in-service bolt obtained in step 2 is corrected; 6. The absolute acoustic time ratio of the transverse and longitudinal waves of the in-service bolt under zero stress obtained in step 2 is corrected; 7. The axial force of the in-service bolt is obtained according to the corrected absolute acoustic time ratio of the transverse and longitudinal waves under zero stress and the double-wave stress coefficient in steps 5 and 6.

[0007] The above-mentioned measurement method has the advantages of not damaging the in-service bolts themselves and being quick and simple to operate, so it is widely used. In the process of measuring the axial stress of in-service bolts by the dual-wave method, the change in temperature has a great influence on the measurement of the transit time, and the transit time calculated at different temperatures is also different. However, the above-mentioned prior art does not consider the influence of temperature on the measurement of transit time, that is, when measuring the transit time, it is assumed that the temperature of the in-service bolts is constant, which will lead to the problem of using the calculation results of the same temperature to represent the calculation results at various temperatures. This kind of sweeping approach does not conform to the actual calculation of the axial stress of in-service bolts, and thus makes it impossible to calculate the true axial stress of in-service bolts at various temperatures. It can be seen that the current method of calculating the axial stress of in-service bolts needs to focus on the influence of temperature changes in order to accurately calculate the axial stress of in-service bolts that conforms to the actual situation.

[0067] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0068] See also Figures 1 to 10 In an embodiment of the present invention, an ultrasonic calculation method for axial stress of in-service bolts considering temperature includes the following contents.

[0069] 1. Principle of ultrasonic double-wave measurement of axial stress of in-service bolts.

[0070] The ultrasonic method for measuring the axial stress of in-service bolts is mainly divided into the single-wave method and the dual-wave method. The single-wave method only uses ultrasonic longitudinal waves. It is necessary to measure the acoustic wave transit time of the in-service bolt in the stress-free state and the acoustic wave transit time of the in-service bolt in the stress state, calculate the acoustic time difference between the two, and then obtain the axial stress of the in-service bolt. The dual-wave method combining longitudinal and transverse waves is based on the common relationship between the axial stress of the in-service bolt and the propagation sound time of the longitudinal and transverse waves to eliminate the variable of the in-service bolt length. It can realize the axial stress measurement of in-service bolts of unknown length, which is easy to calibrate and suitable for field conditions. When the two ends of the in-service bolt are subjected to axial tensile stress, the schematic diagram of the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the in-service bolt is shown in Figure 2.

[0071] According to the theory of acoustic elasticity, stress in a material changes its elastic behavior, so the speed of ultrasound can be linked to the stress state in the material. For isotropic homogeneous materials, the speeds of ultrasonic longitudinal waves and ultrasonic shear waves propagating in the same direction as the applied stress are linearly related, namely:

[0072] (1-1);

[0073] (1-2);

[0074] Since both longitudinal and transverse waves are incident vertically into the in-service bolt, the angle between the center of the sound beam and the axis of the in-service bolt is very small, so the longitudinal and transverse wave transit time can be expressed as:

[0075] (2-1);

[0076] (2-2);

[0077] In the formula, It indicates the transit sound time of ultrasonic longitudinal wave propagating in the in-service bolt under axial stress when the temperature is at room temperature. It indicates the transit sound time of ultrasonic shear waves propagating in a service bolt subjected to axial stress when the temperature is at room temperature.

[0078] Compare the transit time of ultrasonic longitudinal wave with the transit time of ultrasonic transverse wave, and make Taylor expansion for the comparison result. The details are as follows:

[0079]

[0080] (3);

[0081] In the formula, represents the remainder of the Taylor expansion.

[0082] Ignoring the higher-order terms and remainders in the Taylor expansion, it is approximately assumed that the transit time ratio and stress have a linear relationship:

[0083] (4);

[0084] Based on formula (4), the relationship between the axial stress of the in-service bolt and the transit time ratio is as follows:

[0085] (5);

[0086] It can be seen from formula (5) that the magnitude of axial stress is linearly related to the acoustic time ratio of longitudinal and transverse waves. For different in-service bolt materials, the specific values ​​of each parameter in formula (5) can be obtained through room temperature calibration experiments.

[0087] 2. Model correction based on equivalent temperature.

[0088] Under the influence of temperature, on the one hand, the in-service bolts will expand thermally and increase in length. On the other hand, the temperature increase will also cause the transverse and longitudinal wave speeds to decrease, both of which will cause the transit time to become longer. The double-wave calculation model of formula (5) is obtained at room temperature and does not consider the effect of temperature on the transit time. When measuring the axial stress of high-temperature in-service bolts, in order to improve the measurement accuracy, the model needs to be corrected. At the same time, there is a common phenomenon of uneven temperature distribution in in-service bolts. If the end surface temperature of the in-service bolts is simply used for calculation, it will also cause errors in the measurement results.

[0089] Therefore, considering the temperature distribution state in the in-service bolts and the influence of temperature on the ultrasonic velocity, an equivalent temperature calculation method is used. Its physical meaning is that the transit time of the in-service bolts at this temperature is the same as that in the state of uneven temperature distribution. The model is modified according to the equivalent temperature to improve the calculation accuracy of the axial stress of the in-service bolts.

[0090] For in-service bolts made of metal materials of common specifications, the influence of their wave velocity on the transit acoustic time is much greater than the influence of the thermal expansion deformation of the in-service bolts on the acoustic time measurement, so in this embodiment, only the influence of temperature on the wave velocity is considered. T When , the relationship between ultrasonic longitudinal and transverse wave speed and material properties is as follows:

[0091] (6-1);

[0092] (6-2);

[0093] in, , and All can be obtained through experimental measurement.

[0094] Since the temperature difference of the in-service bolts is mainly concentrated in the axial direction, and the sound wave is excited at one end of the in-service bolt and propagates along the axial direction of the in-service bolt to the other end, the in-service bolt model can be simplified to a one-dimensional model with only axial temperature difference. The temperature of the in-service bolt is related to the position, so the calculation formula for the transit time of the longitudinal and transverse sound waves in the in-service bolt is:

[0095] (7-1);

[0096] (7-2);

[0097] In the formula, Indicates that the in-service bolts subjected to axial stress are at a temperature of varying temperature. T act When the ultrasonic longitudinal wave propagates in the in-service bolt, the transit sound is Indicates that the in-service bolts subjected to axial stress are at a temperature of varying temperature. T act When the ultrasonic shear wave propagates in the service bolt, the transit sound is

[0098] On the other hand, when the equivalent temperature of the in-service bolt is used to calculate the transit time, the transit time is:

[0099] (8-1);

[0100] (8-2);

[0101] Formula (7-1) and formula (8-1) are combined to form a temperature equivalent model. By solving the temperature equivalent model, the corresponding equivalent temperature can be obtained. T eqv .

[0102] At the same time, for ultrasonic measurement of axial stress of in-service bolts at high temperature, the sound-time ratio in the model needs to be corrected. The equivalent transit sound-time ratio of in-service bolts can be written as:

[0103] (9);

[0104] By combining formula (5) and formula (9), we can obtain the axial stress model of the in-service bolt at the corresponding equivalent temperature. The axial stress model is expressed as follows:

[0105] (10);

[0106] 3. Calculation of axial stress model example.

[0107] In order to verify the correctness of the model, the material of the in-service bolt is selected as the high-strength alloy structure 35CrMoA, which has stable performance at high temperatures and is a commonly used in-service bolt material in high-load working scenarios in the petrochemical industry. Experiments are carried out to calibrate the acoustic elastic coefficient of this material. The specifications of the in-service bolts are M30×200mm. The two ends of the in-service bolts are polished to ensure good coupling between the probe and the in-service bolts. The in-service bolts are clamped on the in-service bolt fixture to simulate the pre-tightening conditions of the in-service bolts. The SHT-4206 universal testing machine is used to apply a specified axial tensile force to the in-service bolts. Its maximum loading capacity is 2000kN, and the test force resolution is 1 / 300000 of the full scale, which meets the experimental requirements.

[0108] The experiment uses longitudinal wave and shear wave piezoelectric ultrasonic probes, both with a center frequency of 5MHz, and a special coupling agent. The longitudinal wave and shear wave piezoelectric ultrasonic probes are fixed on one end of the in-service bolt.

[0109] The ultrasonic testing device uses an open ultrasonic acquisition module commonly used in the prior art, with adjustable signal gain, which can collect and save longitudinal and transverse wave transit times in real time. An ultrasonic probe is installed on the top of the in-service bolt, and the in-service bolt is fixed between the upper and lower in-service bolt fixtures in the universal testing machine, and the ultrasonic acquisition module is connected to the probe.

[0110] The load applied in the experiment should be controlled within the elastic range of the in-service bolt material. For the calibrated in-service bolt, its strength grade is 10.9, the tensile strength is 1000MPa, and the yield strength is 900MPa. The loading interval of the experiment in this embodiment is selected as the range of 0-80% of the yield strength, that is, the axial load of the in-service bolt is 0-720MPa, the loading step is selected as 80MPa, and the loading speed is 1MPa / s. Each group of in-service bolt loading experiments is repeated three times, and the average value of the three measurements is taken as the final result. The experimental result data is shown in Table 1.

[0111] Table 1 Measurement results of the calibration sound time of in-service bolts

[0112] ;

[0113] From the data in Table 1, we can see that when the stress increases by 80 MPa, the transit time of longitudinal waves increases by an average of 0.08 us, and the transit time of transverse waves increases by an average of 0.054 us. It can be seen that compared with transverse waves, longitudinal waves are more sensitive to changes in axial stress.

[0114] In order to calculate the equivalent temperature of the in-service bolts, it is necessary to first accurately obtain the temperature field distribution of the in-service bolts in the flange structure. Due to the limitations of the use of piezoelectric ultrasonic probes and coupling agents, the maximum temperature of the flange in this embodiment is 200°C.

[0115] The DN80 flange joint structure model was established by physical field simulation software. The in-service bolt material is 35CrMoA and the flange material is 316L stainless steel. Since the flange connection structure has symmetric characteristics, in order to reduce the amount of calculation and improve the calculation efficiency, this embodiment only takes 1 / 4 of the flange structure model. The mesh division adopts free tetrahedron units, and in order to ensure the calculation accuracy, the mesh density of the in-service bolt component is increased.

[0116] The inner wall of the flange is set to 100℃, 150℃ and 200℃ respectively, the ambient temperature is 20℃, and the flange is not insulated. The temperature distribution law of the in-service bolts is studied respectively. Thin layer boundary conditions are added to the contact boundaries of the flange components to simulate the thin air gap between the parts, which can realize the convection and radiation heat transfer between different components. Because the temperature distribution results of the flange joint and the in-service bolts are similar under different inner wall temperatures, there are only numerical differences. Therefore, only the temperature distribution of the flange and the in-service bolts under the condition of the highest inner wall temperature of 200℃ is shown here, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0117] Depend on Figure 3 and Figure 4 From the distribution cloud diagram, it can be seen that the temperature gradually decreases from the inner wall to the outside of the flange structure, forming an obvious temperature gradient. There is also an obvious temperature difference between the flange and the in-service bolts. The highest temperature of the in-service bolts is located in the in-service bolt hole of the flange. This position is directly affected by the heat radiation of the inner wall of the in-service bolt hole, and the surrounding air temperature is high, and the heat dissipation conditions are poor; the lowest temperature is at the top of the in-service bolt, which has a large heat exchange area, good heat exchange conditions, more sufficient convection heat exchange, and greater heat loss.

[0118] Take the center section of the in-service bolt through the center line of the flange, and its temperature distribution is as follows Figure 5 The corresponding curve diagram is shown in Figure 6 Analysis of the temperature distribution characteristics of the in-service bolts shows that the temperature difference of the in-service bolts is concentrated in the axial direction of the in-service bolts, while in the circumferential section of the in-service bolts, the temperature distribution difference of the in-service bolts is small, which is consistent with the assumptions in the previous model and provides a basis for simplifying the in-service bolts into a one-dimensional model with only axial temperature difference.

[0119] In order to verify the accuracy of the simulation, the flange joint is designed and processed as shown in FIG7. The flange joint includes a cylindrical support base, and the lower flange 20 is coaxially sleeved on the outer side of the support base and fixedly connected to the support base. The upper flange 23 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the lower flange 20 by the in-service bolts 22, and the upper flange 23 is coaxially detachably sleeved on the support base. Four heating tubes 24 arranged parallel to each other are evenly distributed inside the support base to simulate the high-temperature working medium inside the flange. The upper flange 23 and the lower flange 20 are coaxially provided with positioning grooves for cutting off the in-service bolt holes, and a gasket 21 for buffering is coaxially fixed in the positioning groove. A temperature-controlled thermocouple is pasted on the inner wall of the flange, and the thermocouple is connected to the temperature meter to collect and control the internal temperature of the flange in real time. The gasket 21 is a graphite wound gasket, and the specifications of the in-service bolts 22 are 8 M20×140mm studs. The experimental conditions are kept consistent with the boundary conditions in the simulation.

[0120] In the experiment, 9 thin-film K-type thermocouples were pasted on different positions of the in-service bolts, such as Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The star pattern in the figure represents a thin-film K-type thermocouple, which is used to accurately obtain the surface temperature of the in-service bolts in the flange structure. 1 and T 2 Symmetrically arranged between the in-service bolts and nuts, T 3 , T 4 , T 5 , T 6 They are located at the center of the in-service bolts and distributed at 90° along the circumference of the in-service bolts. 7 , T 8 They are located between the in-service bolt hole and the in-service bolt of the flange. This is where the surface temperature of the in-service bolt is the highest in the simulation results. 9 Located at the top of the in-service bolt, this is where the surface temperature of the in-service bolt is the lowest in the simulation results.

[0121] The measured temperature results at each point are as follows Fig. 9 As shown, the highest temperature is T 7 , the lowest temperature is T 9 , T within the same in-service bolt section 3 , T 4 , T 5 , T 6 The temperature difference at the bolts is not big. The temperature distribution law of the in-service bolts in the experimental and simulation results is basically consistent, so the simulation results can be considered reliable.

[0122] The ultrasonic measurement results were compared with the strain gauge measurement results to verify the calculation accuracy of the above model. The strain gauge was pasted on the in-service bolt. To ensure the measurement accuracy of the strain gauge and reduce the influence of the in-service bolt deflection on the measurement results, the strain gauges were installed symmetrically on both sides of the in-service bolt at 180° apart. The average value of the two was taken as the measurement result. At the same time, the in-service bolt strain signal was recorded and saved through a multi-channel strain data acquisition instrument.

[0123] In the above flange experiment, the temperature of the inner wall of the flange was raised to 100℃, 150℃, and 200℃ respectively, and the longitudinal and transverse wave transit sound time and strain gauge results of the in-service bolts were obtained, and the axial stress of the in-service bolts was calculated respectively. At the same time, the stress results measured by ultrasonic method were corrected by using the end surface temperature and equivalent temperature of the in-service bolts, and the deviation from the strain gauge measurement results was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2. Where T represents the temperature of the inner wall of the flange, t L represents the time when the longitudinal wave transits the sound; t S represents the transverse wave transit time; t L / S Represents the ratio of the transit time of longitudinal and transverse waves. (sur)L / S Represents the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse wave transit times using the end surface temperature. (eqv)L / S Represents the ratio of the transit time of longitudinal and transverse waves at equivalent temperature. sur Represents the calculated value of the bolt axial stress using the end surface temperature correction. eqv Represents the calculated value of the bolt axial stress using equivalent temperature correction. δ sur Represents the relative deviation between the calculated value of the bolt axial stress corrected by the end surface temperature and the theoretical value. eqv Represents the relative deviation between the calculated value of the bolt axial stress using equivalent temperature correction and the theoretical value.

[0125] ;

[0126] The calculation results show that temperature and stress have an important influence on the ultrasonic method of measuring the axial stress of in-service bolts. In high-temperature stress measurement, the deviation caused by temperature must be corrected. On the one hand, from experiments I, II, and IV, it can be seen that with the increase of flange temperature, the temperature distribution of in-service bolts becomes more uneven. If the end temperature of the in-service bolts is used for correction, the deviation of the result will also increase. The deviation of the calculation result using the equivalent temperature correction method is around 8%, which is basically unchanged. On the other hand,

[0127] It can be seen from experiments III, IV, and V that with the increase of the axial stress of the in-service bolts, the measurement deviation gradually decreases. Compared with the end surface temperature correction method, the measurement deviation of the axial stress of the in-service bolts using the equivalent temperature correction method is smaller, with a maximum value of 11.28% and a minimum value of 6.28%.
