Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal corrosion monitoring, and more specifically, to a device for detecting corrosion in buried pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, buried metal pipeline corrosion monitoring devices and methods collect the maximum instantaneous current density by using an induced charge device buried in the soil above the pipeline to analyze the corrosion status of the buried steel pipe. Alternatively, by using a multi-metal sheath device, the characteristics of the hanging plate accurately reflecting metal corrosion are maintained, while the corrosion time of each layer can be determined. This method is mainly used for corrosion detection inside pipelines. Or, by distributing acoustic wave sensors on the pipeline surface, the local quality changes on the pipeline surface are sensed to achieve corrosion monitoring.

[0003] However, it cannot determine the corrosion state; nor can it achieve the corrosion degree assessment by collecting and comparing the protection potential of the production pipeline and using a specific device, as described in this patent. It also cannot determine the corrosion state based on the current protection status and the pipeline's environment. It is mainly used for internal corrosion detection, or when the current protection status cannot be determined in conjunction with the pipeline's environment.

[0004] Therefore, the main research direction is to provide a device that can detect and evaluate the degree of corrosion and analyze and judge the corrosion status in combination with the environment in which the pipeline is located. Summary of the Invention

[0032] (1) According to Figure 1 Assemble the underground portion of the invention device (the material of the test fittings used is the same as that of the monitored production pipeline 47); the specific installation sequence is as follows: First, the installation of the soil stabilization sleeve 1: Select the installation point of the underground device, the recommended installation point is located in, for example, Figure 4 A hole is drilled at a vertical distance of 50cm from one side of the production pipeline 47, using a soil drilling drill with the same outer diameter as the soil stabilizing sleeve 1. The hole is 10cm to 20cm deeper than the pipeline burial depth. The soil stabilizing sleeve 1 is then installed into the drilled hole, with its bottom depth equal to the pipeline burial depth. Figure 4 The bottom burial depth of the production pipeline 47 is consistent, and the soil-stabilizing sleeve 1 is left 30cm to 50cm above the ground. Second, the connection and installation of the internal components of the soil-stabilizing sleeve 1: the two ends of the test steel pipe 10 are connected to heat-fused insulated elbows, and the insulated elbows are connected to the first water supply pipe 11 and the first water return pipe 12; after cleaning the surface of the test steel pipe 10, a 13-patch type temperature sensor probe is installed on the pipe surface near the insulated elbow; the surface of the test steel pipe 10 is protected with adhesive tape; the openings of the first water supply pipe 11 and the first water return pipe 12 are kept facing upwards, and an opening of 1cm is made on the lower surface of the test steel pipe 10. 2 Up to 100cm 2 (Calculate the break area based on the pipe corrosion protection level obtained from the test); Install the first water supply pipe 11 and the first water return pipe 12 of the connected test steel pipe 10 into the pre-opened position of the counterweight pipe 3 from bottom to top, and pass the temperature sensor cable through the opening of the counterweight pipe 3 where the nearest insulated elbow is located; Install the T-shaped reference electrode 7 into the pre-opened position of the counterweight pipe 3 from bottom to top, and tighten the T-shaped reference electrode nut 9 of the T-shaped reference electrode 7; Install the T-shaped auxiliary anode 4 and the T-shaped auxiliary anode cable 5 into the pre-opened position of the counterweight pipe 3 from bottom to top, and tighten the T-shaped auxiliary anode cable nut 9. The T-shaped auxiliary anode nut 6 of the auxiliary anode 4; the T-shaped auxiliary anode cable 5, the temperature sensor cable 14, the negative electrode cable 15 connected to the surface of the test pipe, and the test steel pipe potential acquisition cable 16 are bound to the first water supply pipe 11 from bottom to top with nylon cable ties; the components inside the soil-stabilizing sleeve 1 that have been installed and connected are placed into the soil-stabilizing sleeve 1 that has been buried in the soil from top to bottom; the key components inside the soil-stabilizing sleeve 1, the downward-facing opening of the test steel pipe 10, the downward-facing part of the T-shaped auxiliary anode 4, and the T-shaped reference electrode 7, are in close contact with the soil under the weight of the counterweight pipe 3. Finally, the sleeve head 2 is installed at the upper end of the soil-stabilizing sleeve 1, and the first water supply pipe 11 and the first return water pipe 12 pass through the reserved holes on the sleeve head 2; the T-shaped auxiliary anode cable 5, the temperature sensor cable 14, the negative electrode cable 15 connected to the surface of the test pipe, and the test steel pipe potential acquisition cable 16 pass through the reserved cable holes on the sleeve head 2.

[0033] (2) According to Figure 2The ground portion of the invention device is arranged as follows: the ground support 18 is installed above the installation position of the underground device soil stabilization sleeve 1; the control cabinet 17 is installed on the ground support 18; the cable from the underground device passes through the conduit 19, the cable pre-drilled hole on the conduit head 2, and the pre-drilled hole on the bottom surface of the ground control cabinet 17; the first water supply pipe 11 inside the control cabinet 17 is connected to the upper end of the second liquid supply pipe 20 passing through the pre-drilled opening below the control cabinet 17, and the lower end of the second liquid supply pipe 20 is connected to the first water supply pipe 11 from the underground device; the first return water pipe 12 inside the control cabinet 17 is connected to the upper end of the second return water pipe 21 passing through the pre-drilled opening below the control cabinet 17, and the lower end of the 21-water supply pipe is connected to the first return water pipe 12 from the underground device.

[0034] (3) According to Figure 3 Install and inspect the connections of the various devices inside the cabinet.

[0035] (4) Remove the safety relief valve 31 on the upper part of the housing 30 of the first temperature transmitter in the control cabinet 17. Insulating oil (transformer oil can be used) is intermittently and slowly injected into the housing 30 of the first temperature transmitter through the installation port of the safety relief valve 31. After filling, 20 ml is drawn out with a syringe and the safety relief valve 31 is reinstalled.

[0036] (5) Start the control cabinet power supply 44. The temperature controller 22 collects the temperature of the monitored production pipeline 47 surface through the second temperature transmitter 24 and the second temperature transmitter 24 buried on the surface of the production pipeline 47; the temperature controller 22 collects the temperature of the test steel pipe 10 surface through the third temperature transmitter 25 and the 13-temperature sensor probe installed on the surface of the underground test steel pipe of the present invention. The temperature controller 22 collects the temperature of the medium in the process through the first temperature transmitter 23.

[0037] (6) When the surface temperature of the test steel pipe is 3°C lower than the surface temperature of the production pipeline 47 (this temperature difference can be set), the temperature controller 22 connects the power supply of the electric heating rod 28 through the first relay 26 to heat the insulating oil in the process connected to the underground device; at the same time, the temperature controller 22 connects the power supply of the circulation pump 29 through the second relay 27, and under the action of the circulation pump 29, the medium flows through the inside of the buried test steel pipe 10 to realize the heating of the buried test steel pipe 10.

[0038] (7) When the temperature controller 22 detects that the surface temperature of the test steel pipe is equal to the surface temperature of the production pipeline 47, the controller 1 cuts off the power supply to the electric heating rod 28 through the first relay 26 to stop heating. Steps 5-7 achieve the goal of the underground test steel pipe 10 and the production pipeline 47 being the same.

[0039] (8) Simultaneously with step 5, the power switch 44 is activated, and the current controller 34 connects the cable 49 connected to the production pipeline and the negative cable 15 on the underground test steel pipe 10 through the internal circuit to achieve cathodic protection of the test steel pipe 10 for at least 15 minutes (this time 34 can be set by the controller 2); the current controller 34 collects the cathodic protection energizing potential VTBH1 of the currently monitored production pipeline 47 through the cable 49 connected to the production pipeline (set to a separate storage location).

[0040] (9) The current controller 34 disconnects the cable 49 connected to the production pipeline and the negative cable 15 on the test steel pipe 10, and at the same time, the current controller 34 controls the controllable rectifier 35 to start working.

[0041] (10) Under the control of the current controller 34, the controllable rectifier 35 starts from 0V output and increases the output voltage by a certain voltage amplitude (such as 0.2V). At the same time, the first voltmeter 36 and the ammeter 37 measure the output voltage VT0.2, VT0.4, VT0.6, etc. and the output current IT0.2, IT0.4, IT0.6, etc. of the controllable rectifier and feed the values ​​back to the current controller 34 for storage in a fixed position. The stable output time of each voltage amplitude is 200 seconds, disconnected for 20 seconds and then increased to the next voltage.

[0042] (11) At the same time as each voltage value stabilizes, the current controller 34 transmits the operating status information of the controllable rectifier 35 to the second voltmeter 40. The second voltmeter 40 automatically adjusts the data acquisition cycle to 30 seconds and reads a set of energized protection potential data of the test steel pipe when each set of voltages is output stably:

[0043] VT0230, VT0260, VT0290, VT02120, VT02150, VT02180;

[0044] VT0430, VT0460, VT0490, VT04120, VT04150, VT04180;

[0045] VT0630, VT0660, VT0690, VT06120, VT06150, VT06180.

[0046] The second voltmeter 40 transmits each set of power-on protection potential data to the current controller 34 for fixed-position storage, and reads the potential at 150 seconds after each power-on voltage as the power-on protection potential corresponding to each output voltage, such as VT02150, VT04150, VT06150, etc., and stores it in a fixed position.

[0047] (12) At the end of each voltage amplitude value, while the current controller 34 controls the controllable rectifier 35 to disconnect the output, it transmits the disconnection status information of the controllable rectifier 35 to the second voltmeter 40. The second voltmeter 40 automatically adjusts the data acquisition period to 50 milliseconds. While the current controller 34 controls the controllable rectifier 35 to disconnect the output, the second voltmeter 40 reads a set of instantaneous power failure protection potentials at 50 millisecond intervals.

[0048] VD0250, VD02100, VD02150, VD02200, VD02250, VD02300;

[0049] VD0450, VD04100, VD04150, VD04200, VD04250, VD04300;

[0050] VD0650, VD06100, VD062150, VD06200, VD06250, VD06300.

[0051] Voltmeter 2 transmits the power-off protection potential data of each group to the current controller 34 for storage in a fixed location, and reads the potential at the moment of disconnection of each output voltage 150 milliseconds as the power-off protection potential corresponding to each output voltage, such as VD02150, VD04150, VD06150, etc., and stores it in a fixed location.

[0052] (13) The current controller 34 automatically calculates the rate of change of the potential difference between the on-off protection and the rate of increase of the potential data of the off-off protection. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0053] The rate of change of potential difference between on and off power supply is VTDCBHVn = (VTn150 - VDn150) / VDn150;

[0054] The rate of increase in power-off potential is VDZJVn=(VDn+1150-VDn150) / VDn150.

[0055] (14) For ease of understanding, please refer to Figure 5 The current controller 34 calculates from the minimum data, and when the rate of change of the on / off potential difference VTDCBHVn ≥ 5%, the corresponding... Figure 5 The data at inflection point #1 represents the first cathodic protection potential, which is the most positive protection potential under the current production conditions. Current controller 34 records the corresponding on-state protection potential VTbh1 and off-state protection potential VTbh1. When the off-state potential increase rate VDZJVn ≤ 5%, the corresponding... Figure 5 The data at the inflection point #2 is the second cathode protection potential, which is the most negative protection potential under the current production conditions. The current controller 34 records the corresponding power-on protection potential VTbh2 and power-off protection potential VTbh2.

[0056] (15) Current controller 34 shuts down the output of the controllable rectifier.

[0057] (16) The current controller 34 reconnects the production pipeline cable 49 and the negative cable 15 on the test steel pipe 10 buried underground through the internal circuit to monitor the cathodic protection potential.

[0058] (17) Corrosion status judgment: The current controller 34 compares and monitors the cathodic protection potentials VTBH1 and VTbh1, VTbh2; when VTBH1 < VTbh1, it is determined that the current detected pipeline (current detection position) is under-protected and the pipeline is corroded; when VTbh1 < VTBH1 ≤ VTbh2, it is determined that the current detected pipeline (current detection position) is in good protection and the pipeline is not corroded; when VTBH1 > VTbh2, it is determined that the current detected pipeline (current detection position) is in over-protection and the pipeline is at high risk of hydrogen evolution corrosion.

[0059] (18) The current controller 34 can communicate with the potentiostat communicator of the protection station to adjust the output status of the potentiostat, thereby keeping the output of the cathodic protection system in a good state.
