Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of corrosion control for pipeline systems of underwater special equipment, and particularly to a corrosion-resistant and insulated bottom-mounted pre-buried pipeline system for underwater special equipment and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The bottom-mounted pre-buried pipe is one of the key parts of the seawater pipeline system of the ship auxiliary system. In the early stage of service, 20# steel was mostly used for the pre-buried pipes of surface and underwater equipment. Since the internal medium of the bottom-mounted pre-buried pipe is seawater and the outside is soaked by the bottom bilge water and sewage, the working conditions are very harsh. In addition, the pipeline needs to pass through different cabins and is connected to the hull and pipelines. There are many contacts between dissimilar metals, which are likely to cause galvanic corrosion and the leakage risk is relatively high. In addition, it is found in engineering applications that the space where the bottom-mounted pre-buried pipe is located is narrow, the construction conditions are limited, and the replacement is difficult. During the maintenance process, it is required to avoid replacement as much as possible. Traditional metal pre-buried pipes generally require the same service life as the equipment repair period. In recent years, in the bottom-mounted pre-buried pipe systems of the in-service underwater special equipment, problems such as serious corrosion failure of the through-cabin pipes of the bottom sewage tank and corrosion perforation of the bottom-mounted pre-buried pipes of the battery compartment of a certain equipment before reaching the mid-term repair period of service have successively occurred, seriously affecting the reliability of the bottom-mounted pre-buried pipes and the safety of the equipment: After inspecting the actual corrosion state of the bottom-mounted pre-buried pipes of the equipment, it is found that the main areas where corrosion perforation occurs are the local part on the inner side of the single-sided flange after the through-cabin wall pre-buried pipe passes through the cabin wall sleeve and the straight pipe section area laid on the battery bottom.

[0003] After detailed analysis, the main reasons for corrosion are as follows: First, after the steel pre-buried pipe passing through the cabin wall passes through the cabin wall sleeve and then is connected to the copper pipeline butterfly valve through a single-sided flange, due to reasons such as seawater erosion of the pipeline and great difficulty in process control, an obvious galvanic corrosion circuit is formed between the copper butterfly valve and the steel pre-buried pipe, and leakage or perforation occurs after long-term use; Another reason is that the 20 steel used for the straight pipe section of the pre-buried pipe on the actual ship may have local minor defects due to reasons such as process stability of the pipeline metallographic structure because the pipeline is relatively long (8-10m). After being soaked in seawater for a long time, pitting corrosion may occur, further causing corrosion perforation or leakage problems in the straight pipe section. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant and insulated bottom-mounted pre-buried pipeline system for underwater special equipment and an installation method thereof, aiming to solve the problem of poor seawater erosion resistance of traditional carbon steel seawater-connected pre-buried pipelines.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a corrosion-resistant and insulated bottom-mounted pre-buried pipeline system for underwater special equipment, including a metal through-cabin part, a PEEK material pre-buried pipe, a sealing gasket, and fasteners. Among them, The metal through-hull part is passed through the bulkhead and welded to it. A flange is provided at one end of the metal through-hull part located outside the bulkhead. The end of the PEEK material embedded pipe facing the metal through-hull part is a flange. A sealing gasket is provided between the flange of the metal through-hull part and the flange of the PEEK material embedded pipe. The fastener passes through the flanges of the metal through-hull part and the PEEK material embedded pipe to fasten and connect the two. The PEEK material embedded pipe is supported on the outer wall of the underwater special equipment by a bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting section, straight pipe section, and elbow section of the PEEK material embedded pipe for connecting with the metal through-hull part. The straight pipe section is supported by a bracket, and the bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the underwater special equipment. The connecting section, straight pipe section, and elbow section are all made of polyether ether ketone.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting section, elbow section, and straight pipe section are connected by fusion welding.

[0008] Preferably, the bracket is fixed to the outer wall of the underwater special equipment by double-sided welding.

[0009] Preferably, the sealing gasket is made of aramid rubber.

[0010] Preferably, the metal through-hull part is fixedly connected to the bulkhead by single-sided welding.

[0011] Preferably, the wall thickness of the PEEK material embedded pipe is calculated according to the following formula: , , where, is the pipeline negative deviation correction coefficient; is the design pressure, in MPa; is the pipeline outer diameter, in mm; is the allowable stress of the pipeline, in N / mm 2 ; is the welding efficiency coefficient; is the additional allowance for bending, in mm; is the bending radius, in mm.

[0012] Preferably, the pipeline negative deviation correction coefficient is calculated using the following formula: , where, is the percentage of the pipeline manufacturing negative deviation to the nominal wall thickness of the pipeline.

[0013] Preferably, the outer diameter / wall thickness ratio SDR of the PEEK material embedded pipe is 8 - 10.

[0014] The present invention further provides an installation method for the corrosion-resistant and insulated bottom embedded pipeline system of the underwater special equipment based on the above, including the following steps: Pass the metal through-hull fitting through the bulkhead or the sleeve on the bulkhead, and fixedly connect the metal through-hull fitting to the bulkhead or the sleeve on the bulkhead by welding. Align the flange of the metal through-hull fitting with the flange of the connecting section of the PEEK material embedded pipe, install a sealing gasket between the two flanges, and pass fasteners through the flanges to tightly connect the metal through-hull fitting and the connecting section of the PEEK material embedded pipe. Adopt the method of fusion welding to sequentially connect the elbow section and the straight pipe section on one side of the connecting section. A bracket is sleeved on the straight pipe section, and the bottom of the bracket is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the underwater special equipment.

[0015] The corrosion-resistant and insulated bottom embedded pipeline system of the underwater special equipment proposed by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Since the embedded pipe of the existing material is replaced with PEEK material, the problem that the corrosion resistance of the traditional metal embedded pipe is difficult to meet the requirement of the same service life in actual ship repair is solved. 2. The through-hull fitting made of metal material and the embedded pipe made of PEEK material are adopted. Therefore, there is no galvanic corrosion defect caused by the joint connection of metal pipelines in the prior art, and the galvanic corrosion circuit is blocked. 3. The PEEK material is used to replace the traditional metal material, giving play to its high electrical insulation, mature welding process, high pressure resistance, high impact resistance, light weight, and excellent mechanical properties, meeting the engineering application of underwater special equipment. 4. The metal embedded pipeline which is integrally formed in the prior art is divided into two parts, namely the through-hull fitting and the PEEK material embedded pipe. The through-hull fitting is connected to the bulkhead. Since the through-hull fitting does not use PEEK material but steel material, it absorbs the advantages of the reliable connection between the traditional metal embedded pipe and the bulkhead, thus solving the problem that the PEEK underwater embedded pipe cannot be hermetically connected to the metal bulkhead. The underwater embedded pipeline can be connected to the bulkhead by using the present through-hull fitting, and at the same time, the pressure resistance and sealing performance can be satisfied. 5. The through-hull fitting and the PEEK material embedded pipe are connected by flanges and are equipped with a sealing gasket. The connection structure is simple and the sealing performance is good.

[0028] In this embodiment, the optional nominal diameters of the PEEK material pre-buried pipe 5 are DN40, DN50, DN80, DN100, and DN150. The wall thickness specifications of the PEEK material pre-buried pipe 5 are 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 14mm and above, which meet the pressure and impact resistance requirements of the pre-buried pipe of underwater special equipment. When specifically selected, the wall thickness of the PEEK material pre-buried pipe 5 is 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 14mm and above. Calculated using the following formula: , (1) , (2) in, is the pipeline negative deviation correction coefficient; is the design pressure, in MPa; is the outer diameter of the pipeline, in mm; is the allowable stress of the pipeline, in N / mm 2 ; is the welding effectiveness coefficient; It is the additional allowance for bending, in mm; is the bending radius, in mm.

[0029] Specifically, the pipeline negative deviation correction coefficient is calculated using the following formula: , (3) where is the percentage of the pipeline manufacturing negative deviation to the nominal wall thickness of the pipeline.

[0030] That is to say, the design of the PEEK material embedded pipe 5 pipeline should consider the formulas (1), (2), (3) and the requirements of the fifth group of specifications of GJB4000-2000, and be designed according to the following design criteria of the embedded pipeline system: a) The design pressure of the embedded pipeline is 3 MPa; b) The corrosion problem of dissimilar metals should be considered at the connection between the through-hull fitting and the steel bulkhead 3; c) Anticorrosion treatment should be carried out at the connection between the embedded pipeline and the steel side cup-type pipe joint and the through-hull fitting; d) The interface flange of the embedded pipeline meets the requirements of CB856-2004, and the electrical insulation design with the seawater pipeline should be considered; e) The manufacturing process should be simple, the manufacturing cost should also be low, and it should be able to meet the on-site installation; f) The service life of the embedded pipe should be considered the same as that of the ship.

The metal embedded pipeline that was integrated in the prior art is divided into two parts, namely the through-hull fitting and the PEEK material embedded pipe 5. The through-hull fitting is connected to the bulkhead 3. Since the through-hull fitting does not use PEEK material but steel material, it absorbs the advantages of the reliable connection between the traditional metal embedded pipe and the bulkhead 3, thus solving the problem that the PEEK underwater embedded pipe cannot be hermetically connected to the metal bulkhead 3. Using this through-hull fitting can realize the connection problem between the underwater embedded pipeline and the bulkhead 3, and at the same time can meet the pressure resistance and sealing performance; 5.

Step S20: Align the flange of the metal through-hull fitting 1 with the flange of the connecting section of the PEEK material embedded pipe 5, install a sealing gasket 4 between the two flanges, and pass the fastener 8 through the flanges to tightly connect the metal through-hull fitting 1 and the connecting section of the PEEK material embedded pipe 5. Step S30: Adopt the method of fusion welding to sequentially connect the elbow section and the straight pipe section 9 on one side of the connecting section. A bracket 7 is sleeved on the straight pipe section 9, and the bottom of the bracket 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the underwater special equipment.

[0035] The temperature of the fusion welding is 300°C to 400°C.

[0036] The installation method proposed in this embodiment solves the problems that in the existing traditional underwater special equipment, the carbon steel through-sea embedded pipeline has poor corrosion resistance to seawater scouring, and it is difficult to repair / replace the bottom-embedded pipeline in a narrow space after corrosion and leakage, by dividing the existing embedded pipeline into two parts, one part is the through-hull fitting made of steel and the other part is made of PEEK material.
