If none of these meet the required standards, the operator opens the first air-controlled shutoff valve 40, the first manual shutoff valve 50, the second manual shutoff valve 52, and the third manual shutoff valve 54, and fills nitrogen. Nitrogen is present in all three lines. After the pressure gauges on the manual shutoff valve 59, the eighth pressure gauge 73, and the third pressure gauge 38 are generally consistent, the operator proceeds with subsequent operations.

[0065] For the low-pressure test port, when the value on the eleventh pressure gauge 87 reaches the specified value, the third manual shut-off valve 54 is manually closed to maintain pressure and conduct a low-pressure test. After the test, the sixth manual shut-off valve 86 is manually opened to release pressure. For the medium-pressure test port (in this embodiment, the middle high-pressure test port), the third pressure-regulating valve 33 and the second drive air on / off valve 36 are first opened to operate the first booster pump 44. At this point, if the value on the eighth pressure gauge 73 meets the specified value, the second manual shut-off valve 52 is closed to maintain pressure, a medium-pressure test is conducted, and the fifth manual shut-off valve 72 is opened to release pressure. If the value on the manual shut-off valve 59 on the pressure gauge does not meet the specified value and the power of the first booster pump 44 has reached maximum, the second pressure-regulating valve 28 and the first drive air on / off valve 31 are opened to operate the second booster pump 46 until the value on the manual shut-off valve 59 on the pressure gauge reaches the specified value. The first manual shut-off valve 50 is then closed to maintain pressure. After the high-pressure test, the fourth manual shut-off valve 58 is opened to release pressure.

[0066] If the air pressure control system is in automatic mode, the first solenoid valves 3-13, bypass ball valves 14-24, and electrical proportional valves 25-27 all operate, and the air-controlled shutoff valves are opened or closed by the external electrical control system. All manual shutoff valves are closed. Two different gas pressure levels are required (corresponding to three test ports, one low-pressure and two high-pressure). Obtain pressure data from the second pressure transmitter 60, the fifth pressure transmitter 74, and the eighth pressure transmitter 88. If any of the three values ​​do not meet their respective standards, the first air-controlled shutoff valve 40 is automatically opened. For the low-pressure test port, the fourth pressure regulating valve 41 and the fourth air-controlled stop valve 53 are automatically opened, and the eleventh air-controlled stop valve 84 and the third electrical proportional regulating valve 85 are closed, so that the output pressure of the low-pressure test port continues to rise. When the value of the eighth pressure transmitter 88 reaches the standard, the fourth pressure regulating valve 41 and the fourth air-controlled stop valve 53 are closed, and the eleventh air-controlled stop valve 84 and the third electrical proportional regulating valve 85 are opened to release the pressure. Among them, the third electrical proportional regulating valve 85 can adjust the speed of pressure relief.

[0067] For the two high-pressure test ports (the situation is the same for each high-pressure test port of the same pressure level, and this embodiment is described using the second pipe at the top as an example), the third pressure regulating valve 33, the third solenoid valve 35, and the second drive air switch valve 36 are first opened to enable the first booster pump 44 to operate. At this time, the second booster pump 46 is not operating, and the second air-controlled stop valve 49 is automatically opened, the fifth air-controlled stop valve 56 and the first electrical proportional control valve 57 are closed, and nitrogen is introduced, and the pressure of the high-pressure test port continues to rise. However, when the value of the second pressure transmitter 60 still does not reach the standard and the first booster pump 44 has reached the maximum power, the second pressure regulating valve 28, the second solenoid valve 30 and the first drive air switch valve 31 are automatically opened, so that the second booster pump 46 works together with the first booster pump 44, and the power of the second booster pump 46 is gradually increased until the value of the second pressure transmitter 60 reaches the standard. The third pressure regulating valve 33, the third solenoid valve 35, the second drive air switch valve 36, the second pressure regulating valve 28, the second solenoid valve 30, the first drive air switch valve 31 and the second air-controlled stop valve 49 are closed to maintain the pressure. After the high-pressure test, the fifth air-controlled stop valve 56 and the first electrical proportional control valve 57 are opened to release the pressure.

[0068] In this embodiment, the air pressure control system can provide low-pressure gas at the low-pressure test port, and can output high-pressure gas at the high-pressure test port under the action of the booster module. It can measure multiple pressure levels and has high measurement efficiency. It has automatic pressurization, automatic pressure maintenance, and automatic pressure relief functions, and the pressure relief speed is adjustable, easy to operate, reliable and durable, which can effectively improve the pressure measurement efficiency and accuracy. The booster pump output is adjustable and is suitable for air sealing performance testing of valves, manifolds and downhole tools of different pressure levels.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, a test system of the present invention includes an electrical control system, which is electrically connected to a pneumatic control system to control the pneumatic control system to output nitrogen of different pressure levels when the pneumatic control system is in an automatic state.

[0070] Among them, the electrical control system includes consoles, software, operating computers, industrial computers, PLC controllers, video surveillance displays, relays, buttons, indicator lights, communication modules, etc.

[0071] In addition, a video monitoring system can also be included for video monitoring, and the video monitoring system includes a camera, a video recorder, a hard disk, a display, etc. The test system adopts a mobile skid structure and can be moved freely.

[0072] Based on the air pressure control system, it is possible to test different pressure levels of nitrogen and can move freely, which facilitates operations on the construction site.
