Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of LNG flexible pipeline testing, and in particular relates to an experimental device and method for LNG ultra-low temperature resistant pipeline tension and torsion testing. Background Art

[0002] The LNG flexible pipeline tension and torsion combined test device is mainly based on the safety and reliability requirements of flexible pipes and cables in marine engineering. As the difficulty of exploitation of terrestrial oil and gas resources increases and resources are gradually depleted, the development of marine oil and gas resources has become increasingly important. The particularity of the marine environment requires the use of specialized marine oil and gas exploitation equipment, among which flexible pipes and cables have attracted much attention due to their irreplaceable role in marine oil and gas exploitation and transportation.

[0003] In order to ensure the safety of flexible cables during underwater use, they need to be subjected to rigorous mechanical property tests. Traditional testing methods are mainly aimed at single working conditions, such as tension, compression, bending and torsion, but the test of tension-torsion coupling conditions has not yet been systematically established. Since marine flexible cables have a long service life in the deep sea, it is crucial to conduct systematic mechanical property tests on them and fully understand their stress characteristics in order to accurately predict their service life.

[0004] Existing test equipment and methods are mostly based on the superposition of single working conditions to achieve the coupling of combined working conditions, which has problems such as complex test operation, easy errors in testing and low test accuracy. Therefore, the development of a new type of tension-torsion combined test device can realize the performance test of flexible pipes and cables under tension-torsion coupling conditions, which is of great significance for improving test efficiency and accuracy and ensuring the reliability of pipes and cables. Traditional hose tension detection devices usually only detect a single item of tension or torque, and cannot simulate the actual situation of LNG.

[0005] Existing LNG flexible pipeline testing experiments require special requirements for equipment and materials in low-temperature environments. Traditional testing devices are usually carried out at room temperature and cannot simulate real conditions. Under ultra-low temperature conditions, traditional tensile test fixtures are prone to failure due to the cooling effect of liquid nitrogen in the cryogenic box, resulting in insufficient or loose specimen clamping, which affects the accuracy of the test results.

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the examples of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the examples of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the examples of the present invention. Obviously, the described examples are only part of the examples of the present invention, not all of the examples. The following description of at least one exemplary example is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the present invention and its application or use. Based on the examples in the present invention, all other examples obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the term "comprising" or "including" is used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0045] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, the numerical expressions and the numerical values ​​set forth in these examples do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant field may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be regarded as a part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary examples may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction.

For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below their position devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0048] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
