Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oil and gas pipeline technology, and in particular to a method for testing the permeation of flammable, explosive and harmful gases into full-size non-metallic pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Non-metallic composite pipes, which may include an inner lining made of thermoplastic pipe, are used in oil fields to transport high-pressure gases (such as methane (CH4) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S)), effectively solving the corrosion problem of gathering and transportation pipelines, and their use in oil fields is increasing daily. However, during the transportation of high-pressure gases using non-metallic composite pipes, the permeation of oil and gas media, such as the diffusion of oil and gas media from the inner wall of the lining to the interior, can cause pipeline failure, thereby affecting the normal transportation of oil and gas.

[0003] Currently, the relevant technology CN103674808B proposes to obtain the permeability by measuring pressure change data under sealed vacuum conditions.

[0004] However, due to interference from factors in the real-world measurement environment, the measurement results have significant errors. Therefore, improving the accuracy of the gas permeability coefficient in non-metallic composite pipes is an urgent problem to be solved in order to ensure the normal transportation of oil and gas. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method for testing the permeability of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases in full-size non-metallic pipes, which can solve the technical problem of low accuracy of gas permeability coefficient in non-metallic composite pipes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for testing the permeability of flammable, explosive, and hazardous gases in a full-size non-metallic pipe. This method includes: determining a first gas permeability coefficient of a first inner lining membrane when a first gas is at a first temperature; determining a second gas permeability coefficient of the first inner lining membrane when a second gas is at the first temperature; obtaining a first correction coefficient based on the ratio of the second gas permeability coefficient to the first gas permeability coefficient; determining a first gas permeation amount based on a gas permeation test curve of the first inner lining membrane under the first gas condition; determining a second gas permeation amount based on the first gas permeation amount and the slope of the gas permeation test curve; and obtaining a third gas permeability coefficient based on the first correction coefficient and the second gas permeation amount.

[0008] Based on the above description of the method for testing the permeability of flammable, explosive, and hazardous gases in full-size non-metallic tubes provided in this application embodiment, it can be seen that this method involves obtaining the permeability coefficient of the membrane and calculating the reduction factor to ultimately deduce the permeability coefficient of the full-size non-metallic tube, making the entire testing process more efficient. This solves the problem of high risk factors when conducting full-size gas permeation tests with hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen.

[0009] Furthermore, this not only improves the safety and efficiency of testing but also provides a solid foundation for the application of non-metallic tubes in multiple fields, helping to promote technological innovation and development in related industries. It enhances the safety and efficiency of experiments and provides important guidance for the rational selection of non-metallic tubes, resulting in significant social and economic benefits.

[0010] In a feasible implementation of the first aspect, the method for testing the permeation of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases in full-size non-metallic pipes further includes: confirming the fourth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner lining membrane when the first gas is at a second temperature; confirming the fifth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner lining membrane when the second gas is at a second temperature; and obtaining a second correction coefficient based on the ratio of the fifth gas permeability coefficient to the fourth gas permeability coefficient.

[0012] In a feasible implementation of the first aspect, the first inner liner film is polyethylene, the first gas is nitrogen, and the second gas is methane, hydrogen, or hydrogen sulfide.

[0013] By using nitrogen (N2) instead of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases (such as CH4, H2, and H2S) for permeability testing, the risk of gas leakage during the experiment is greatly reduced, thereby protecting the safety of the experimenters and reducing the probability of accidents caused by gas leakage.

[0014] In a feasible implementation of the first aspect, the method for testing the permeation of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases in full-size non-metallic pipes further includes: confirming the eighth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner lining membrane when the first gas is at a first pressure; confirming the ninth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner lining membrane when the second gas is at the first pressure; and obtaining a fourth correction coefficient based on the ratio of the ninth gas permeability coefficient to the eighth gas permeability coefficient.

[0015] By comprehensively considering the effects of temperature and pressure, the gas permeability coefficients of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases in full-size non-metallic composite pipes are clearly defined, providing an accurate basis for the selection of non-metallic pipe materials and their safe application. By using the permeability coefficient of N2 in full-size non-metallic pipes, combined with the gas permeability coefficients of small samples, the permeability coefficients of flammable, explosive, or harmful gases such as CH4, H2, and H2S in full-size non-metallic pipes are obtained. This avoids personnel casualties caused by leaks of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases during the test, simplifies the test procedure, and provides an accurate basis for the selection of non-metallic pipe materials and their safe use.

"At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of a single item or a plurality of items.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and that "first" and "second" are not necessarily different. Meanwhile, in the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is being used as an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present invention should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner for ease of understanding.

[0028] The principles and features of this application are described below. The examples given are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] Non-metallic composite pipes can be used in oil fields to transport high-pressure gases, effectively solving the corrosion problem of gathering and transportation pipelines.

[0030] In some embodiments, the non-metallic composite pipe includes an inner lining that is in direct contact with the transported oil or gas. The inner lining of the non-metallic composite pipe can be a thermoplastic pipe. Compared to metal pipes, thermoplastic pipes effectively solve the problem of pipe corrosion.

[0031] Currently, there are many types of thermoplastics that can be used as inner linings, including polyethylene (PE-100), heat-resistant polyethylene (PE-RT), cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyketone (POK).

[0032] Thermoplastic pipes do not corrode, leading to their increasing use. However, with prolonged use, pipe failures distinct from corrosion have emerged. Among these, the gas permeability of the inner lining material is the most significant cause of failure. Permeability primarily depends on the physical properties of the thermoplastic (free volume, degree of unsaturation, degree of cross-linking, crystallinity, and substituent type, etc.). The diffusion capacity of small molecule gases is particularly significant and closely related to the material's permeability.

[0033] For example, the oil and gas medium diffuses from the inner wall of the liner into the interior. Due to the effects of swelling and degradation, gas may accumulate. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, bulges will appear.

[0034] For example, gas transported inside a non-metallic composite pipe may permeate into the annulus. The large accumulation of permeated gas in the annulus affects the performance of the reinforcing layer, thereby causing pipe failure. Here, the annulus refers to the annulus within the gas permeation cavity of a full-size non-metallic pipe, which can be the annulus formed by the cavity and the outer wall of the non-metallic pipe.

[0035] This application provides a method for testing the permeability of full-size non-metallic pipes to flammable, explosive, and hazardous gases, applicable to various non-metallic pipe gas transmission and distribution technologies. For example, non-metallic pipes are used in natural gas transmission, chemical pipelines, and other applications involving flammable, explosive, or toxic gases. Considering the test pressure and gas safety in actual operation, an indoor method for testing the gas permeability of full-size pipes to flammable, explosive, and toxic gases is established. This solves the problem of high risk factors when conducting full-size gas permeation tests with hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen.

[0036] This application provides a full-size non-metallic pipe flammability, explosiveness, and harmful gas permeation testing system, which can perform the full-size non-metallic pipe flammability, explosiveness, and harmful gas permeation testing method provided in this application. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a full-size non-metallic tube flammable, explosive and harmful gas permeation testing system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the full-size non-metallic pipe flammable, explosive and harmful gas permeation testing system 001 includes at least one processor 011 and a memory 012 communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein, the memory 012 stores instructions that can be executed by the at least one processor 011, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor 011 to enable the at least one processor 011 to execute the full-size non-metallic pipe flammable, explosive and harmful gas permeation testing method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0038] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for testing the permeability of flammable, explosive, and hazardous gases to a full-size non-metallic pipe, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the method for testing the flammability, explosiveness, and harmful gas permeation of a full-size non-metallic pipe includes the following steps:

[0039] S1, under the condition that the first gas is at a first temperature, confirm the first gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner membrane.

[0040] The material of the first inner liner film can be of various types, such as polyethylene (PE-100), heat-resistant polyethylene (PE-RT), cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyketone (POK).

[0041] The size and shape of the first inner lining film can vary. For example, the thickness can range from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, the diameter can be 100mm, and the shape can be a circular sheet.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first inner liner film is a polyethylene sheet sample, such as PE-100 polyethylene. The first gas is nitrogen.

[0043] In one implementation, a gas permeameter is used to test the first gas permeability coefficient.

[0044] S2, under the condition that the second gas is at the first temperature, confirm the second gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner membrane.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second gas is methane, hydrogen, or hydrogen sulfide.

[0046] In one implementation, a gas permeameter is used to test the first gas permeability coefficient.

[0047] S3, based on the ratio of the second gas permeability coefficient to the first gas permeability coefficient, the first correction coefficient is obtained.

[0048] In one implementation, at a specific temperature, the gas permeability coefficients of N2, CH4, H2, and H2S in the first inner liner film (i.e., the PE-100 sheet sample) are shown in Table 1. The PE-100 sheet sample has a pressure difference of 0.1 MPa and a thickness of 1 mm.

[0049] Table 1. Test results of gas permeability coefficients for different gases at a certain temperature.

[0050] Gas type <![CDATA[Permeability coefficient [cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 ·s·Pa)]]]> <![CDATA[N2]]> <![CDATA[1.447×10 -14 ]]> <![CDATA[CH4]]> <![CDATA[4.372×10 -14 ]]> <![CDATA[H2]]> <![CDATA[1.724×10 -13 <!-- 4 -->]]> <![CDATA[H2S]]> <![CDATA[1.896×10 -14 ]]>

[0051] For example, as shown in Table 1, the first gas permeability coefficient of the first gas N2 is P. N2 , PE-100 =1.447×10 - 14 cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 ·s·Pa). When the second gas is methane, the corresponding second gas permeability coefficient is P. CH4,PE-100 =4.372×10 -14 cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 Based on the ratio of the second gas permeability coefficient to the first gas permeability coefficient, the first correction coefficient f is... CH4,PE-100 =P CH4,PE-100 / P N2,PE-100 =3.02. When the second gas is H2, the first correction factor f... H2,PE-100 =PH2,PE-100 / P N2,PE-100 =11.91. When the second gas is H2S, the first correction factor f... H2S , PE-100 =P H2S,PE-100 / P N2,PE-100 =1.31.

[0052] S4. Based on the gas permeation test curve of the first inner liner membrane under the first gas condition, confirm the amount of first gas permeation.

[0053] In some embodiments, with nitrogen as the first gas, a permeation test is conducted on a full-size PE-100 lined composite pipe under N2 conditions to obtain the following results: Figure 3 The gas permeation test curve is shown at a first temperature. For example, the first temperature can be ambient temperature, such as 23°C. The OA segment represents the settling period of the pipe, lasting 24 hours. Gas adsorbed on the outer wall of the pipe desorbs, eliminating the influence of adsorbed gas on the gas permeation test. The AB segment represents the process of gas molecules adsorbing, dissolving, diffusing, and desorbing in the pipe matrix and gradually reaching equilibrium, lasting 168 hours. The BC segment represents the stable permeation stage after gas permeation equilibrium is established, lasting 168 hours. Because the permeation rate remains constant, the slope of the curve remains unchanged.

[0054] In some embodiments, the method for testing the permeation of flammable, explosive and harmful gases in full-size non-metallic pipes further includes: obtaining a first gas permeation rate based on the annular volume, pipe surface area, test temperature, pressure difference between the inside and outside of the pipe, standard temperature and standard pressure.

[0055] First gas permeation Q N2 The calculation formulas include:

[0056] Q N2 =(△p / △t)×(V / S)×(T0 / p0T)×[24 / (p1-p1)];

[0057] Where △p / △t represents the arithmetic mean of the gas pressure change per unit time, the slope of the gas permeation test curve, and the unit is Pa / h; V represents the volume of the permeation chamber, and the unit is cm³. 3 S represents the inner surface area of ​​the pipe, in meters (m²). 2 T represents the test temperature in Kelvin (K); T0 represents the standard temperature, with a value of 273.15 K; p0 represents the standard pressure, with a value of 1.0133 × 10⁻⁶. 5 Pa; p1-p1 represents the test pressure difference, in Pa.

[0058] Where △p / △t is the arithmetic mean of the gas pressure change per unit time, which is equivalent to the slope of the gas permeation test curve.

[0059] For example, Δp / Δt is 75 Pa / h. The permeation chamber volume V = 800 cm³. 3 The inner surface area of ​​the pipe is S = 0.4 m². 2 Test temperature T = 300.15 K. Test pressure difference P1 - P2 = 8 × 10⁻⁶ 5 Pa. Standard temperature T0 = 273.15 K. Standard pressure p0 = 1.0133 × 10 Pa. 5 Pa. Therefore, according to the above calculation formula, the value of the first gas permeation is Q. N2,PE-100 =4.04×10 -5 cm 3 / (m 2 ·d·Pa).

[0060] S5. Based on the first gas permeation rate and the slope of the gas permeation test curve, confirm the second gas permeation rate.

[0061] In some embodiments, the gas permeation test curve obtained from the permeation test of the PE-100 lined full-size composite pipe under N2 conditions is used to obtain the second gas permeation amount at the corresponding temperature.

[0062] In some embodiments, the method for testing the permeation of flammable, explosive and harmful gases in full-size non-metallic pipes further includes: obtaining a second gas permeation rate based on the test temperature and the inner lining wall thickness.

[0063] In some embodiments, the formula for calculating the second gas permeation amount includes:

[0064] P' N2 =(△p / △t)×(V / S)×(T0 / p0T)×[e / (p1-p1)]=1.1574×10 -9 Q N2 ×e;

[0065] Among them, Q N2 The value is expressed as the first gas permeation rate, and e represents the inner lining wall thickness, in cm.

[0066] For example, Q N2,PE-100 =4.04×10 -5 cm 3 / (m 2 The inner lining wall thickness (also known as the pipe wall thickness) is 0.5 cm. Therefore, according to the above calculation formula, the value of the second gas permeation is P'. N2,PE-100 =1.1574×10 - 9 QN2,PE-100 ×e=2.34×10 -14 cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 ·s·Pa).

[0067] S6. Based on the first correction factor and the second gas permeability, the third gas permeability coefficient is obtained.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the second gas is CH4, the permeation correction factor f of CH4 in the thermoplastic PE-100 is used. CH4,PE-100 =3.02, P' N2,PE-100 =2.34×10 -14 cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 ·s·Pa), to obtain the third gas permeability coefficient P' corresponding to CH4. CH4,PE-100 =f CH4,PE-100 ×P' N2,PE-100 =3.02×P' N2,PE-100 =7.07×10 -14 cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 ·s·Pa).

[0069] Similarly, when the second gas is H2, based on the H2 permeation correction factor f in the thermoplastic PE-100... H2,PE-100 =11.91. Third gas permeability coefficient P' H2,PE-100 =f H2,PE-100 ×P' N2,PE-100 =11.91×P' N2,PE-100 =2.79×10 -13 cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 ·s·Pa).

[0070] Similarly, when the second gas is H2S, based on the H2S permeation correction factor f in the thermoplastic PE-100... H2S,PE-100 =1.31. Third gas permeability coefficient P' H2S,PE-100 =f H2S,PE-100 ×P' N2,PE-100 =1.31×P' N2,PE-100 =3.07×10 -14 cm 3 ·cm / (cm 2 ·s·Pa).

[0071] This application's embodiments obtain the permeability coefficient of the thin film and calculate the reduction factor, ultimately deducing the permeability coefficient of the full-size non-metallic tube, making the entire testing process more efficient. Furthermore, it not only improves the safety and efficiency of the test but also provides a solid foundation for the application of non-metallic tubes in multiple fields, contributing to the promotion of technological innovation and development in related industries. It enhances the safety and efficiency of the experiment and provides important guidance for the rational selection of non-metallic tube materials, resulting in significant social and economic benefits.

[0072] In some embodiments, the method for testing the flammability, explosiveness, and harmful gas permeation of full-size non-metallic pipes further includes:

[0073] S71, under the condition that the first gas is at the second temperature, confirm the fourth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner membrane.

[0074] S72, under the condition that the second gas is at the second temperature, confirm the fifth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner membrane.

[0075] S73, based on the ratio of the fifth gas permeability coefficient to the fourth gas permeability coefficient, the second correction coefficient is obtained.

[0076] In some embodiments, after performing step S73, the second gas permeation amount can be obtained by referring to steps S4 and S5, and then the target permeation coefficient corresponding to the second temperature can be obtained based on the second correction coefficient and the second gas permeation amount.

[0077] In this way, by measuring the second correction factor corresponding to different temperatures, a comprehensive database of flammable, explosive, and harmful gas permeation tests for full-size non-metallic pipes can be established to ensure application in various scenarios.

[0078] In some situations, besides temperature, other influencing factors exist, such as different inner lining films. In some embodiments, the method for testing the flammability, explosiveness, and harmful gas permeation of full-size non-metallic pipes further includes:

[0079] S81, under the condition that the first gas is at the first temperature, confirm the sixth gas permeability coefficient of the second inner liner membrane.

[0080] S82, under the condition that the second gas is at the first temperature, confirm the seventh gas permeability coefficient of the second inner liner membrane.

[0081] S83, based on the ratio of the seventh gas permeability coefficient to the sixth gas permeability coefficient, yields the third correction coefficient.

[0082] In some embodiments, after performing step S83, the second gas permeation amount can be obtained by referring to steps S4 and S5, and then the target permeation coefficient of the second liner film at the first temperature can be obtained based on the third correction coefficient and the second gas permeation amount.

[0083] In some situations, in addition to temperature, other influencing factors, such as different pressures, may occur. In some embodiments, the method for testing the flammability, explosiveness, and harmful gas permeation of full-size non-metallic pipes further includes:

[0084] S91, under the condition that the first gas is at the first pressure, the eighth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner membrane is confirmed.

[0085] S92, under the condition that the second gas is at the first pressure, confirm the ninth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner membrane.

[0086] S93, based on the ratio of the ninth gas permeability coefficient to the eighth gas permeability coefficient, yields the fourth correction coefficient.

[0087] In some embodiments, after performing step S93, the second gas permeation amount can be obtained by referring to steps S4 and S5, and then the target permeation coefficient of the second gas under the first pressure can be obtained according to the fourth correction coefficient and the second gas permeation amount.

[0088] In some situations, besides temperature, other influencing factors include varying humidity levels. In some embodiments, the method for testing the flammability, explosiveness, and harmful gas permeation of full-size non-metallic pipes further includes:

[0089] S101, under the condition that the first gas is at the first humidity, confirm the tenth gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner film.

[0090] S102, under the condition that the second gas is at the first humidity, confirm the eleventh gas permeability coefficient of the first inner liner film.

[0091] S103, based on the ratio of the eleventh gas permeability coefficient to the tenth gas permeability coefficient, yields the fifth correction coefficient.

[0092] In some embodiments, after performing step S103, the second gas permeation amount can be obtained by referring to steps S4 and S5, and then the target permeation coefficient of the second gas under the first humidity can be obtained according to the fourth correction coefficient and the second gas permeation amount.

[0093] The above comprehensive consideration of factors such as temperature, pressure, and humidity makes the results more accurate.

[0094] This application, through obtaining the permeability coefficients of N2, CH4, H2, and H2S for thin film samples of different types of non-metallic materials under the same test conditions, yields the gas permeability reduction coefficients for flammable, explosive, and harmful gases such as N2, CH4, H2, and H2S in different types of non-metallic materials. By combining the permeability coefficient of N2 in a full-size non-metallic tube with the gas permeability coefficient of a small sample, the permeability coefficients of flammable, explosive, or harmful gases such as CH4, H2, and H2S in a full-size non-metallic tube are obtained. This avoids personnel casualties caused by leakage of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases during the test, simplifies the test procedure, and provides an accurate basis for the selection and safe use of non-metallic tubes.

[0095] This application embodiment uses nitrogen (N2) instead of flammable, explosive, and harmful gases (such as CH4, H2, H2S) for permeability testing, greatly reducing the risk of gas leakage during the experiment, thereby protecting the safety of experimental personnel and reducing the probability of accidents caused by gas leakage. It solves the problem of the high risk factor when using hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen in full-scale gas permeability tests.

[0096] The test method used in this application simplifies the testing process. By obtaining the permeability coefficient of the thin film sample and calculating the reduction factor, the permeability coefficient of the full-size non-metallic tube can be finally calculated, making the entire testing process more efficient.

[0097] This application provides a reliable scientific basis for the selection of non-metallic pipes by obtaining the permeation characteristics of flammable, explosive and harmful gases (such as CH4, H2, H2S) in full-size non-metallic pipes, ensuring their safety and reliability in use.

[0098] The embodiments of this application avoid the direct emission of flammable, explosive and harmful gases, thereby reducing environmental pollution.
