Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a quantitative standard sample tube for oxide scale detection, in particular to a quantitative standard sample tube for oxide scale detection inside austenitic stainless steel tubes, belonging to the technical field of oxide scale detection. Background Technique

[0002] With the rapid development of China's power construction, thermal power units are gradually developing towards large capacity and high energy efficiency. The steam pressure and temperature during boiler operation are gradually increasing, and high-alloy pipes with stronger heat resistance are required. Therefore, austenitic stainless steel pipes are increasingly used in the manufacturing process of boilers. As the boiler operates, oxide scale will gradually form inside the stainless steel pipes of the boiler. The thermal expansion coefficients of the oxide scale and the stainless steel pipe matrix are quite different. During the startup and shutdown of the boiler, the oxide scale on the inner wall of the pipe is extremely easy to fall off. The accumulated oxide scale inside the pipe reduces the steam flow area and the heat transfer capacity of the pipe, making the heating surface pipes unable to be reliably cooled. In severe cases, it may lead to overheating and bursting of the pipes. Another small part of the fallen oxide scale enters the steam turbine side with the steam flow, which may cause the main steam valve to become stuck and sticky, as well as solid particle erosion of the steam turbine nozzles and blades, and damage the steam turbine blades in severe cases. After the fallen oxide scale enters the condensate water, it will cause the iron content to exceed the standard and result in waste of resources. The existing technology cannot detect oxide scales of different thicknesses, and the measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed, which in turn leads to inaccurate life assessment and increases the maintenance cost. The stepped plastic sleeve of the utility model can simulate the thickness of the oxide scale inside the stainless steel pipe respectively.

[0003] How to measure the oxide scale on the inner wall of the high-temperature heating surface pipes during maintenance and monitor the situation of oxide scales of different thicknesses in a timely manner is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

The plastic sleeve is arranged inside the stainless steel pipe, and the sealing plug is arranged inside the left end of the plastic sleeve. The plastic sleeve is a stepped plastic sleeve, with a sealed right end and a sealed left end by the sealing plug. Its length is equal to the length of the stainless steel pipe, and its outer diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the stainless steel pipe. It is provided with nine steps, and each step is used to simulate oxide scales of different thicknesses.

[0006] The stainless steel pipe is made of austenitic stainless steel, with an inner diameter the same as the outer diameter of the plastic sleeve, and is arranged outside the plastic sleeve.

[0007] The size of the sealing plug is the same as the left-end diameter of the plastic sleeve. The material of the sealing plug is plastic. The size of the outer edge of the sealing plug is larger than the diameter of the plastic sleeve, which is convenient for taking out.

[0008] The total length of the plastic sleeve is the same as the length of the stainless steel pipe. The outer diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the austenitic stainless steel pipe. It is divided into 9 steps. Each step simulates oxide scales of different thicknesses. It can simulate oxide scale thickness values from 10% to 90% of the inner diameter size of the stainless steel pipe, so as to realize the quantification of the oxide scale thickness. The plastic sleeve is filled with powdered oxide scales. After being filled with oxide scale powder, the left end of the plastic sleeve is sealed with a sealing plug, and then the plastic sleeve is placed in the stainless steel pipe, which can simulate oxide scales of different thickness values, so as to realize the quantification of the oxide scale thickness value, and has good practicability and economic benefits.
