Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of valve testing, and in particular to a valve limit performance testing system and a testing method. Background Art
[0002] There are many reasons for valve leakage, which can be generally divided into external leakage and internal leakage. The reasons for external leakage include leakage of the valve body and valve cover (such as defects such as sand holes, loose structure, slag inclusions, cracks, fissures, folding, etc. on the valve body and valve cover), leakage at the packing (such as aging of the packing and loss of elasticity due to long service life) and improper flange installation (scratches, radial grooves or other defects on the flange sealing surface), etc., while the reasons for internal leakage include sealing surface problems (such as uneven grinding of the sealing surface and inability to form a sealing line), etc. If the valve leaks due to the above problems, the valve leakage will continue to expand and eventually lead to valve failure.
[0003] Traditional factory testing of valves is nothing more than measuring the specific working conditions under which the valve leaks, and there are many ways to test whether a leak occurs. For example, as described in the publication number "CN106907523A", a sensor and a signal transmitter are installed on the valve to measure and determine the critical pressure ratio of the sealing surface, and pre-set it into the signal transmitter. The sensor detects the sealing surface pressure ratio in real time and transmits the pressure ratio signal to the signal transmitter. The signal transmitter compares the detected sealing surface pressure ratio with the pre-set critical pressure ratio to determine whether the valve is about to leak, and sends the result data to the monitoring system to predict whether the valve is leaking by detecting the valve sealing surface pressure ratio.
[0004] However, the above method to predict when a valve will leak cannot fully reflect the valve's ultimate performance. Some valves may have slight leakage during actual operation. Even when the valve has slight leakage, the internal and external pressure difference can still be kept stable and the valve can still work normally. It has not yet reached its ultimate performance and can still maximize the value of its remaining life. However, how to measure the ultimate performance of the valve has always been an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to avoid and overcome the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a valve limit performance test system and a test method. The present invention realizes the determination of the valve limit performance.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A valve limit performance test system, wherein the valve circuit to be tested includes an internal test pipeline and an external test pipeline. Along the flow direction of the medium, the internal test pipeline, the external test pipeline, the liquid pool, the pressure supply unit and the pressure stabilizing tank are sequentially connected to form a medium circulation loop;

[0009] The back pressure valve and the orifice plate are installed in the test pipeline outside the valve to establish back pressure. The test pipeline outside the valve is arranged in parallel with the regulating pipeline outside the valve. The regulating pipeline outside the valve controls the flow through the second regulating valve to divert the medium passing through the back pressure valve.
[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: a post-valve instrument for collecting medium pressure and flow rate data is provided at the inlet end of the back pressure valve, and a pre-valve instrument for collecting medium pressure and flow rate data is provided at the outlet end of the pressure stabilizing tank.
[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the circulating medium in the medium circulation loop is a gaseous medium.

[0014] During the internal leakage test, open the first regulating valve and close the second regulating valve, and increase the opening of the first regulating valve in steps until the valve under test cannot maintain pressure. Calculate the maximum leakage Q of the valve under test at this opening of the first regulating valve. G1 ;
[0015] During the external leakage test, close the first regulating valve and open the second regulating valve. Increase the opening of the second regulating valve in steps until the valve under test cannot maintain pressure.

[0025] A readable storage medium stores a computer program, wherein the computer program includes program instructions, and when the program instructions are executed by a processor, the processor executes the valve limit performance test method.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. The present invention uses an orifice plate and a back pressure valve combined circuit to establish back pressure, and the pressure is stable and reliable. By building a test system and establishing a leakage calculation formula, the limit leakage of the valve under the pressure difference is calculated. Under actual working conditions, by measuring whether the real-time leakage of the valve reaches the limit leakage, it can be determined whether the valve has reached the limit performance, which gives full play to the maximum value of the remaining life of the valve and improves the economic benefits brought by the valve.

[0037] 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.
[0038] See also Figures 1-2 In an embodiment of the present invention, a valve limit performance test system and a test method are provided. The valve circuit 1 to be tested in the test system includes an in-valve test pipeline 13 and an out-valve test pipeline 11. The in-valve test pipeline 13, the out-valve test pipeline 11, the liquid pool 2, the pressure supply unit 3, and the pressure-stabilizing tank 4 are sequentially connected to form a medium circulation loop. The circulating medium introduced into the medium circulation loop is gas. The in-valve regulating pipeline 13 is also arranged in parallel on the in-valve test pipeline 14, and the out-valve regulating pipeline 12 is arranged in parallel on the out-valve test pipeline 11. The in-valve regulating pipeline 13 and the out-valve regulating pipeline 12 are respectively provided with a first regulating valve 131 and a second regulating valve 121.
[0039] The valve 141 to be tested is installed in the test pipeline 14 inside the valve, and the back pressure valve 111 and the orifice plate 112 are installed in the test pipeline 11 outside the valve in sequence to establish back pressure. By adjusting the opening of the first regulating valve 131, the medium passing through the valve 141 to be tested can be diverted to simulate the valve internal leakage condition. By adjusting the opening of the second regulating valve 121, the medium passing through the back pressure valve 111 can be diverted to simulate the valve external leakage condition.
[0040] The working parameters of the system are measured by the pre-valve instrument 5 and the post-valve instrument 113, wherein the pre-valve instrument 5 is arranged at the outlet of the pressure-stabilizing tank 5, and the post-valve instrument 113 is arranged at the inlet of the back pressure valve 111, and the pre-valve instrument 5 and the post-valve instrument 113 include a pressure sensor and a flow sensor.
[0041] The test includes the following steps:
[0042] Install and start a valve limit performance test system, open the valve 141 to be tested and introduce circulating medium until the collected parameters of the pre-valve instrument 5 and the post-valve instrument 113 are stable;
[0043] Open the first regulating valve 131 and close the second regulating valve 121, and increase the opening of the first regulating valve 131 step by step until the valve 141 under test cannot stabilize the pressure, and calculate the limit leakage Q of the valve under test in the internal leakage state G1 ;
[0044] Close the first regulating valve 131 and open the second regulating valve 121, and increase the opening of the second regulating valve 121 step by step until the valve 141 under test cannot stabilize the pressure, and calculate the limit leakage Q of the valve under test in the leakage stateG2 .
[0045] During the test, the openings of the first regulating valve 131 and the second regulating valve 121 are increased from 0 to 1% in steps.
[0046]
[0047] Wherein, A1 represents the internal leakage area of the tested valve 141 equivalent to the opening of the first regulating valve 131;
[0048] A2 represents the leakage area of the tested valve 141 equivalent to the opening of the second regulating valve 121;
[0049] γ represents the adiabatic index of the circulating medium;
[0050] P1 represents the circulating medium pressure;
[0051] P2 represents external environmental pressure;
[0052] ρ represents the density of the circulating medium.
[0053] When the pressure difference of the test system is constant, the opening speed of the regulating valve is 0.001m / c, the circulating medium pressure P1 is 200Kpa, the external environment pressure is the standard atmospheric pressure (101.3KPa), the circulating medium temperature is 293K, the adiabatic index of the circulating medium is 1.4, and the gas constant of the circulating medium is 8.314J / (kg·K);
[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, as the number of cycles increases, the opening of the regulating valve increases, and the corresponding leakage area of the valve also increases. It can be seen that the blue curve is the theoretical fitting curve of the leakage calculation formula in this application, and the blue scattered points are the actual experimental measurement values. Within a certain range, the experimental measurement values are basically consistent with the theoretical calculation values. As the valve leakage area continues to expand, the valve basically fails. At this time, the valve reaches its limit performance. As the leakage area increases, the pressure difference will decrease, resulting in a difference between the experimental measurement value and the theoretical calculation value.
