Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of weld detection, and in particular to a negative pressure welding inspection device. Background Art

[0002] After the pipeline welding is completed, the weld of the pipeline needs to be inspected to detect whether there are leaks in the weld. The common detection method is to continuously evacuate the inside of the pipeline through a vacuum pump, and the pressure gauge will display the value of the pipeline vacuum. The helium spray gun is placed close to the weld and moved along the weld. When there is a leak in the pipeline weld, helium enters the pipeline through the leak. At this time, the value on the pressure gauge changes accordingly, and the pipeline welding is unqualified.

[0003] Common vacuum pumps usually have certain limitations on the volume inside the pipe to be evacuated. When the volume inside the pipe to be evacuated exceeds the range of the vacuum pump's evacuation capacity, it is difficult for the vacuum pump to evacuate it, and it is difficult to detect whether there are leaks in the weld, affecting the accuracy of pipeline weld detection.
