Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to testing equipment for flexible composite pipes under complex loads in the field of flexible composite pipe testing, in particular to multifunctional complex load testing equipment for flexible composite pipes and a testing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The SY / T 6662 standard for "Non-metallic Composite Pipes for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry" covers flexible composite high-pressure transmission pipes, steel-reinforced thermoplastic composite coiled pipes, reinforced ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite pipes, and flexible composite pipes for downhole use, collectively referred to as flexible composite pipes. These pipes offer advantages such as single length, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation. They have been widely used in key sectors such as oil, gas, and water extraction and transportation, becoming a vital component of oil and gas extraction, gathering, transportation, and reinjection pipeline networks. According to the SY / T 6662 standard, these flexible composite pipes must undergo tests such as short-term clean water pressure, short-term burst pressure, minimum bend radius, short-term cycling pressure, and 1000-hour survival tests before leaving the factory. Each test requires specialized testing equipment. For example, testing short-term clean water pressure requires a short-term clean water pressure tester, testing short-term burst pressure requires a burst testing machine, testing minimum bend radius requires a bend testing machine, and testing 1000-hour survival requires a long-term hydrostatic pressure tester. Various specialized test equipment not only increases laboratory construction investment and equipment operation and maintenance costs, but also significantly increases staff labor intensity. Furthermore, due to the inevitable terrain differences in oil and gas transportation, particularly in the Changqing and Yanchang Oilfields in northern Shaanxi, the Puguang, Yuanba, and Tongnanba Gas Fields in northeastern Sichuan, and the Shunbei Oil and Gas Field in the Tarim Basin, the terrain differences in flexible composite pipe installations subject the pipelines to complex loads of compression, tension, bending, and torsion during service. Long-term fatigue damage to pipelines under these complex loads is a major drawback in flexible composite pipe life prediction research due to a lack of testing equipment for these complex loads.
[0003] In summary, how to develop a set of multifunctional complex load test equipment for flexible composite pipes that can simultaneously meet the needs of various mechanical performance tests of flexible composite pipes, reduce the production and operation costs of enterprises, and carry out pipe performance tests under complex load coupling conditions of compression, tension, bending, and torsion, and provide solid data support for the prediction of the service life of flexible composite pipes under complex working conditions, has become the focus of research by the majority of technical staff.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: See Figures 1-6 This flexible composite pipe multifunctional complex load testing equipment includes a dynamic stretching-torsion power unit, a test test unit and a static torsion unit. The dynamic stretching-torsion power unit, the test test unit and the static torsion unit are coaxially connected together in sequence. The dynamic stretching-torsion power unit is connected to the test test unit through a compressive torque load transmission short section, and the other end of the test test unit is connected to the static torsion unit through a tensile torque load transmission short section.
[0022] The installation auxiliary unit is arranged parallel to the dynamic stretch-torsion power unit on the installation base. The installation base is slidably connected to the base rails. The installation auxiliary unit is composed of multiple flexible composite pipe supports arranged side by side. The flexible composite pipe supports are mounted on a pipe support base. The flexible composite pipe supports have a V-shaped structure and are equipped with rollers to facilitate the lifting and pushing of the flexible composite pipe sample into the test unit. The pipe support base is fixed to the installation base. The installation auxiliary unit and the dynamic stretch-torsion power unit are located on the same installation frame. The installation base slides along the base rails, driving the installation auxiliary unit and the test unit to be aligned. The flexible composite pipe sample placed by the installation auxiliary unit can be pushed to the specimen fixing frame of the test unit. The base rails can be moved left and right to facilitate the lifting of the test pipe sample and its installation in the test unit.
[0023] The dynamic tension-torsion power unit includes a hydraulic cylinder base, a hydraulic cylinder, a sleeve, a hydraulic connecting rod, a first servo motor, a tie rod, a first planetary reducer, a first servo motor-planetary reducer base, a tension-torsion short-circuit, and a first coupling. The hydraulic cylinder base and the first servo motor-planetary reducer base are fixed to a mounting frame. The torsional torque generated by the first servo motor is slowly released through the first planetary reducer. The tensile load generated by the hydraulic cylinder is then transmitted through the hydraulic connecting rod, tie rod, and coupling system on the sleeve, via a tension-torsion load transfer sub, to provide a tensile load for testing the flexible composite pipe sample. Specifically, the tension generated by the hydraulic cylinder 212 is transmitted through the hydraulic connecting rod 214 on the sleeve 213, and then through the tie rod 216 to the first coupling 219. The torsional load generated by the first servo motor 215 is slowly released through the first planetary reducer 217, while simultaneously being transferred to the first coupling 219. The first coupling 219 and the tension-torsion load transfer sub 220 meet through a flange, enabling the transmission of tensile and torsional loads. The hydraulic cylinder base 211 and the servo motor-planetary reducer base 218 are located on the same plane as the pipe support base 12 as the mounting base 14. The dynamic stretching-torsion power unit 2 can be translated left and right synchronously with the installation auxiliary unit 1 to facilitate the flexible composite pipe sample 311 to enter the test unit 3.

[0025] The test unit includes a specimen holder, an axial freedom guide rail, a radial freedom guide rail, a vertical freedom guide rail, an upper fixed axis, a lower movable axis, a bending radius loading cylinder, a video monitoring system, and a strain monitoring system. The specimen holder is supported at both ends of the flexible composite pipe sample. It consists of two symmetrically arranged fixed sub-frames. The upper ends of the fixed sub-frames are curved support surfaces, and the lower ends of the fixed sub-frames are mounted on axial fine-tuning guide rails. These axial fine-tuning guide rails are slidably connected to a pair of radial adjustment guide rails, each of which is mounted on a vertical guide rail. A sliding column of a rectangular pipe rack is slidably mounted between the two vertical guide rails. The upper ends of the sliding columns slide and connect to horizontal guide rails to form a rectangular pipe rack. The rectangular pipe rack frames the flexible composite pipe sample, and the inclined pipe rack also frames the flexible composite pipe sample. The inclined pipe rack consists of two diagonal braces fastened together at their upper ends by an upper fixed shaft. The lower ends of the diagonal braces are fixed to a base directly below the flexible composite pipe sample. A bending radius loading cylinder is located on the base, between the two diagonal braces. Multiple camera mounts are mounted on the base. By adjusting the axial, radial, and vertical guide rails, pipe samples of varying diameters can be tested and evaluated. The bending radius loading cylinder can be used to apply an upward pressure load to the test pipe sample, which is used to test the minimum bending radius of the pipe sample or obtain three-point bending test data. The video monitoring system uses multiple cameras. The external camera of the pipe sample records the morphological deformation of the sample's outer surface under load conditions during the test. The endoscope camera inside the flexible composite pipe sample records the morphological deformation of the pipe's interior under load conditions. The strain monitoring system uses strain gauges attached to the outer surface of the pipe sample to record the strain data of the pipe under load conditions, facilitating the real-world stress calculation of each part of the sample, which is used to verify the service life prediction data of the flexible composite pipe.
