Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of pipeline welding residual stress detection, and particularly relates to a welding residual stress detection method for X65M pipeline steel and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] The oil and gas conveying pipeline is a pipeline for conveying oil and gas, such as an X65M pipeline. Unlike conventional pipelines, the conveying pipeline for conveying oil and gas is more stringent in pipeline performance requirements, such as sealing, stability, pressure resistance and many other performance requirements.

[0003] Specifically, in the construction process of the oil and gas conveying pipeline, welding operation is often required on the pipeline, and through welding, such as butt sealing of different pipelines is achieved. The residual stress after welding is a main factor leading to high risk of the pipeline, such as stress caused by the pipeline in use process leading to damage of the weld structure and reduction of the sealing, thereby causing huge accidents to life and property safety, and affecting energy transportation, reducing the happiness and sense of gain of the people.

[0004] Therefore, in the actual construction process, residual stress testing is performed through stress detection equipment such as ultrasonic stress detection equipment, and then stress release is performed after the residual stress is detected.

[0005] Therefore, residual stress testing is very important in pipeline welding, and often becomes a higher standard requirement for construction detection in the prior art.

[0006] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202510676505.8 discloses an electromagnetic ultrasonic double-wave transducer for detecting pipeline residual stress. The technical solution disclosed in the patent realizes high-precision residual stress detection of horizontal and vertical waves through the design of a double-wave transducer device. Specifically, the testing device disclosed in the patent includes a shell, a magnet assembly, a coil and other components. Through the combination of multiple magnets, the arc-shaped shell and the grounding wire buffer design, the magnetic field uniformity and the detection signal strength are effectively improved, and high-precision residual stress detection of horizontal and vertical waves is realized.

[0007] However, in the actual detection process, the effect of welding residual stress detection is often determined by the detection method, because the current detection equipment is already relatively mature in technology. The detection method is the key to further determine the detection accuracy.

[0008] Specifically, different operators often get very different detection data structures during the actual detection process when detecting welding stress, and even often get opposite evaluation results. The reason is that the distribution direction and position of welding residual stress are random, and if a high-precision detection method cannot be used, the welding stress condition cannot be accurately reflected, the pipeline welding stress cannot be more fully intervened and released, and the safety and stability of the pipeline cannot be ensured. SUMMARY

[0017] (3) Calculate the stress value of each detection site, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0026] Preferably, at least 12 detection points are marked in the clockwise direction at the upstream edge position of the welding seam.

[0027] At least 12 detection points are marked in the clockwise direction at the downstream edge position of the welding seam.

[0028] Preferably, the ultrasonic welding residual stress detection further comprises remote welding edge detection.

[0029] Preferably, the remote welding edge detection method comprises measuring the stress value by the probe for ring detection at a position 10-100mm away from the upstream edge of the welding seam.

[0030] Preferably, the remote welding edge detection method further comprises measuring the stress value by the probe for ring detection at a position 10-100mm away from the downstream edge of the welding seam.

[0032] The application also discloses application of the X65M pipeline steel welding residual stress detection method in pipeline welding construction stress detection.

[0033] Preferably, the pipeline is a petroleum and natural gas conveying pipeline.

[0034] The application has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. The application discloses a novel ultrasonic welding residual stress detection method, which marks at least 12 detection points in the clockwise direction at the upstream and downstream edge positions of the welding seam, respectively tests the ultrasonic residual stress of the points to more accurately reflect the welding residual stress condition of the welded pipeline.
