Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of offshore ship design and construction, and particularly relates to a method for drawing a reference line of a riser with a diameter of more than 1000 mm installed on an offshore ship. BACKGROUND

[0002] A large-diameter riser structure is installed on the ship side plate of a certain offshore product, and during the process of segmented construction, the riser needs to be nested into the segmented structure and welded with the ship body structure to form an integral segment. The riser has an outer diameter of more than 1 meter, a length of about 3-5 meters, and a wall thickness of about 50 mm. The riser needs to be drawn with 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° longitudinal reference lines (elementary lines) on the outer wall of the circular pipe before being assembled with the segmented structure. During the segmented assembly, the circular pipe needs to be welded with the structure at the corresponding positions on the outer wall. However, the 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° reference lines are not drawn on the pipe during the incoming stage, and a kind of auxiliary marking device needs to be designed and manufactured to cooperate with the marking and provide the segmented part for use during the segmented assembly.

Limiting plates are arranged at the positions of the 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° scale lines, and the positions of 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° are detected respectively. The distance between the roller and the pipe wall is adjusted according to the detection value, so that the center of the measuring ring coincides with the center of the circular pipe. A long bubble is arranged at the 0° angle scale line, and the reference surface of the bubble is accurately set to be completely perpendicular to the 0° angle scale line. The reference surface of the limiting plate coincides with the 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° position lines.

[0005] The stone pen is attached to the limiting plate benchmark surface close to the pipe wall to draw the line, and the gap value between the pipe wall and the ring plate needs to be detected by a ruler or a plug gauge before drawing the line. If the pipe has an ovality deviation, a gasket needs to be attached under the roller until the distance between the ring plate and the pipe wall tends to be the same, that is, the center of the ring plate is coincident with the center of the pipe. Then, whether the long bubble is centered is observed carefully. If the long bubble is not centered, the angle of the ring plate needs to be adjusted so that the long bubble is completely centered.

The magnets are attached to the pipe wall, and the magnets at the positions of 135 degrees and 225 degrees of the ring plate are attracted to the pipe wall to form fixed points. The reference line points A, B, C and D corresponding to the positions of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees are drawn on the outer surface of the steel pipe to be measured in sequence by using the stone pen. The reference line points A', B', C' and D' corresponding to the positions of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees are drawn on the other end of the steel pipe to be measured by using the same method. The reference line points A-A', B-B', C-C' and D-D' are used as the reference points to draw the 0-degree, 90-degree, 180-degree and 270-degree reference lines AA', B-B', C-C' and D-D' on the pipe wall by using the chalk line. The printing is made to provide the positioning construction personnel of the segmented part with the positioning construction.

[0006] The pipe reference line surveying method further comprises that the roller is arranged at 45 degrees and 315 degrees, the roller is in contact with the outer surface of the steel pipe to be measured, the magnet is arranged at 135 degrees and 225 degrees, the magnet is in contact with the outer surface of the steel pipe to be measured, the magnet is fixed at the end of the carbon sleeve, the carbon sleeve is supported by the eye plate, the eye plate is vertically fixed on the surface of the measuring ring, the carbon sleeve passes through the eye plate and is fixed by the bolt.
