Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of shipbuilding design, and in particular to a pressure testing tool for a ship-used LNG ventilation double-wall pipe and a pressure testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In dual-fuel ships, equipment gas pipelines in dangerous areas of the engine room need to adopt a ventilated double-walled pipe design, which can effectively isolate the gas pipeline and reduce potential safety risks. During the shipbuilding process, after the double-walled pipe is installed, the inner and outer wall pipes need to be subjected to pressure and sealing tests to ensure the quality and safety of the pipelines.

[0003] For double-walled pipes after pressure testing, the existing construction method is usually to use welded sealing plates to seal the vents, except for the part with flanges at the end. This practice can effectively seal the vents and ensure that there will be no gas leakage or other safety problems during the pressure test. After the pressure test is completed, the pipeline needs to be pressure tested to verify the pressure resistance and sealing performance of the pipeline.

[0004] Once the pressure test is completed and passed the acceptance, the construction personnel will cut off the welded sealing plate so that the double-wall pipeline can be used normally. This construction process ensures the safety and integrity of the pipeline during the pressure test, and also provides protection for subsequent use and maintenance. Through strict pressure testing and inspection processes, the safe operation of the equipment gas pipeline in dual-fuel ships can be effectively ensured, ensuring the safety of the ship and crew.

[0005] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that the double-walled gas pipe is made of stainless steel, and cutting off the pressure test sealing plate will damage the parent material, and requires welding and grinding, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The double-walled pipe in the equipment has a small space and construction is very difficult. Welding and cutting open flame operations are highly dangerous. Summary of the invention

This practice can effectively seal the vents and ensure that there will be no gas leakage or other safety problems during the pressure test. After the pressure test is completed, the pipeline needs to be pressure tested to verify the pressure resistance and sealing performance of the pipeline.
