Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline cleaning, and relates to a method and system for determining the interference amount of a soluble pig ball. Background Art
[0002] During gas field production, underground natural gas must be transported through pipelines. Since raw natural gas is often accompanied by produced water, foaming agents, and mechanical impurities, these impurities can affect pipeline transmission capacity, efficiency, metering accuracy, clog instruments, and exacerbate pipeline corrosion. Conventional pigging techniques are prone to blockage, ball loss, and difficulty locating smaller gathering and transmission pipelines within gas fields, and mature pigging techniques are currently unavailable. Consequently, small-diameter gathering and transmission pipelines are rarely pigged. During winter operation, accumulated liquid within the pipelines can easily form hydrates, freeze, and cause transmission interruptions, impacting peak winter gas supply and, in severe cases, leading to safety incidents.
[0003] To address this issue, a soluble pigging technology was developed, and field trials were conducted on multiple main pipelines. Given the solubility of the pigs and the influence of the temperature of the pipeline medium on solubility, the uncertainty of the interference fit of the pigs results in inconsistent cleaning effectiveness. Excessive interference creates high pressure when pushing the pigs, causing the pigs to become stuck; while insufficient interference creates insufficient cleaning force and poor cleaning efficiency. Currently, there is no effective method to scientifically determine the interference fit of the pigs, ensuring they adhere tightly to the pipe wall to prevent air and liquid leaks while also ensuring smooth pushing and preventing jams, guaranteeing optimal removal of accumulated liquid or impurities.

[0102] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, this embodiment is used for illustration:
[0103] (1) Akron abrasion machine (see Figure 3 ), including the rubber wheel shaft 1, motor 2, reducer 3, grinding wheel 4 and electronic counter 5, to make the pig wear test sample (see Figure 4 ) to measure the maximum outer diameter of the pig before and after abrasion, as well as the width of the contact surface between the specimen and the abrasion machine's grinding wheel. During abrasion, the specimen was sprayed with clean water at different temperatures (10°C to 50°C) to simulate the accumulation of liquid in the pipeline at different temperatures (10°C to 50°C). The abrasion mileage was calculated based on the diameter loss of the pig, combined with the abrasion machine's grinding wheel speed and diameter. The wear thickness per kilometer was calculated based on the reduction in the diameter of the pig during abrasion.
[0104] (2) Interference calculation. Calculate the contact area between the sample and the grinding wheel of the abrasive machine. Divide the surface area of the soluble pig by the contact area between the sample and the grinding wheel of the abrasive machine to obtain the multiple of the surface area of the soluble pig and the contact area of the sample grinding wheel. This is used to calculate the pig wear per kilometer.
[0105] To ensure the cleaning efficiency of soluble pigs, the optimal interference fit for soluble pigs is calculated based on the length and inner diameter of natural gas gathering and transmission pipelines, assuming the pigs have an interference margin of 0.5% to 1.2% when they reach their destination. The interference margin is a reserve allowance for the pigs' solubility, ensuring they adhere closely to the pipe wall, preventing gas and liquid leakage and ensuring efficient cleaning.

The center hole is punched, and the hole diameter is consistent with the diameter of the rubber wheel shaft.
[0112] (2) Measure the maximum outer diameter of the sample, that is, the outer diameter of the pipe cleaning ball before wear, recorded as D 磨耗前 , (mm, millimeters).
[0113] (3) After grinding both sides of the specimen, glue it to the rubber wheel. Fix the rubber wheel with the specimen glued to it on the rubber wheel shaft. Adjust the grinding wheel of the Akron abrader so that it is in full contact with the specimen.
[0114] Measure the contact width between the sample and the grinding wheel, recorded as W 接触面 , (mm, millimeters).

The data is obtained through experimentation, measurement, and calculation. The experimental process simulates the movement of a soluble pig during a pigging operation, demonstrating scientific validity, reliability, and practicality.
[0140] Field tests on 10 gas production pipelines and 4 gas production mains showed that the interference fit of soluble pigging balls at different temperatures is targeted, reliable, and applicable, and plays a significant role in guiding the pigging of on-site gathering and transportation pipelines.

The end of the grinding wheel shaft is equipped with a photoelectric conversion switch connected to the counter for counting. When the count reaches the preset value, the relay automatically disengages.
