Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of buried pipeline corrosion testing, in particular to a buried pipeline corrosion rate testing system under stray current interference. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of infrastructure construction such as high-speed railways, high-voltage AC and DC transmission lines, urban rail transit and oil and gas pipelines in our country, leakage currents from rail transit and other systems cause stray current interference corrosion to buried oil and gas pipelines.
[0003] Current research and case studies have demonstrated the causes, patterns, and hazards of stray current generation in buried pipelines, but consensus on specific evaluation methods remains lacking. The corrosion weight loss method is widely used as a traditional method for characterizing metal corrosion rates. This method, based on the weight change of a metal during corrosion, provides a direct reflection of the material's corrosion resistance.
[0004] However, the current corrosion weight loss method has the following technical problems: since the metal material needs to be weighed during the corrosion process to obtain its weight change, once the metal material is large or inconvenient to move, weighing is difficult to achieve, making it difficult to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the material.
[0005] Therefore, the present application combines the characteristics of buried pipeline stray current interference and optimizes the traditional corrosion weight loss method to become a corrosion rate testing system suitable for specific environments, thereby providing a buried pipeline corrosion rate testing system. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The main purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a buried pipeline corrosion rate testing system.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to achieve its technical purpose is: a buried pipeline corrosion rate testing system, including a square sheet test piece, the square sheet test piece is divided into an experimental area and a non-experimental area;
[0008] Apply a layer of water-based tape to the test area of the square sheet test piece, and tear off the water-based tape to form an exposed surface of the square sheet test piece;
[0009] A cylindrical through hole is formed at one end of the non-experimental area of the square sheet test piece, a polytetrafluoroethylene screw is fixedly disposed in the cylindrical through hole, one end of the polytetrafluoroethylene screw is fixedly connected to a copper core wire with an O-type terminal, so that one end of the copper core wire maintains good wire contact with the square sheet test piece through the O-type terminal, and the other end of the copper core wire is electrically connected to the pipeline;
[0010] The outside of the non-experimental area of the square sheet test piece is coated with a sealed insulating inner layer and a sealed insulating outer layer, so that the non-experimental area is isolated from the outside world.
[0011] Preferably, the diameter parameter of the copper core wire is 2.5 mm, the outer sheath is made of insulating material PE, one end of the copper core wire is fixedly connected to the polytetrafluoroethylene screw through an O-type terminal, and the resistance of the other end is less than 0.5Ω.
[0012] Preferably, the O-type terminal is fixedly connected to the copper core wire and then reinforced with solder, and the connection between the O-type terminal and the polytetrafluoroethylene screw is also reinforced with solder;
[0013] The solder-reinforced area forms a wire connection area.
[0014] Preferably, the sealing insulating inner layer is paraffin or silane glue, and the sealing insulating outer layer is a flexible plastic shell; the inner layer of paraffin or silane glue is filled so that the flexible plastic shell and the non-experimental area of the square sheet test piece are completely insulated and sealed, and the outer layer of the flexible plastic shell serves as a reinforcement.
[0015] Preferably, the other end of the copper core wire is connected to the pipe through a fixing assembly, and the fixing assembly includes a soft strip, a connecting conductive sheet, a magnetic layer, an adhesive layer, and a transparent sealing layer bag;
[0016] One side of the transparent sealing layer bag is coated with an adhesive layer, and the transparent sealing layer bag is fixed to one side of the soft strip through the adhesive layer;
[0017] The other side of the flexible strip is coated with a magnetic layer, and the connecting conductive sheet is embedded inside the magnetic layer and the flexible strip;
[0018] The other end of the copper core wire passes through the soft strip and is electrically connected to the connecting conductive sheet. When the other side of the soft strip is attached to the pipe, the connecting conductive sheet maintains electrical contact with the pipe. The magnetic attraction layer maintains magnetic attraction with the pipe, so that the soft strip is attached to the pipe, and the connecting conductive sheet maintains electrical contact with the pipe. At the same time, the transparent sealing layer bag is bonded to the pipe with the adhesive layer to further fix the position of the soft strip.
[0019] The working principle and specific use process of the buried pipeline corrosion rate test system:
[0020] a. The same material as the pipe to be tested is metal, machined into a size of 100mm×50mm×4mm, with a surface roughness less than st3. At the same time, an M4 cylindrical through hole is opened at 1 / 5 of the long plane of the test piece. The surface stains are removed, and the mass of the test piece is weighed after drying to an accuracy of 0.0001g;
[0021] b. Use an M4 PTFE screw to connect the copper core wire with the O-type terminal to the test piece and ensure good contact. If necessary, reinforce the copper core wire and the O-type terminal with solder.
[0022] c. Mark an area of ∅28.6mm or ∅11.2mm in the center of the XY plane of the test piece as the experimental area, apply water-based tape, and immerse the remaining area in molten paraffin wax or silane glue, ensuring that the immersed part is fully wrapped by the paraffin wax or silane glue. After the paraffin wax or silane glue solidifies, install the pre-prepared flexible plastic shell on the surface of the test piece soaked with paraffin wax or silicone glue;
[0023] d. Apply silicone or molten paraffin to the gap between the flexible plastic shell and the exposed edge of the test piece, and use 1kV electric spark to test the effect of the coating insulation layer;
[0024] e. When in use, electrically connect the test piece to the pipeline and bury it in the same soil environment as the pipeline. After the test cycle is completed, clean the packaging materials and corrosion products on the surface of the sample, obtain the mass of the test piece after the experiment, and calculate the corrosion rate per unit area of the pipeline based on the above data.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] This buried pipeline corrosion rate testing system can adjust the exposed area of the test piece according to experimental requirements. The weightless test piece prepared using this sealing system is used to test the corrosion of the pipeline itself or the corrosion rate caused by stray current under acceptable scouring and tangential forces. Compared with other electrochemical instruments, the data collected is more convincing, thus solving the existing problem of difficulty in weighing and evaluating the corrosion resistance of metal materials due to their large size or inconvenient displacement.
[0027] The buried pipeline corrosion rate test system uses sealing insulation materials that do not react with the test piece substrate, eliminating the influence of external factors on the experimental results; the area where the test piece contacts the copper core conductor is completely sealed, eliminating galvanic corrosion of the test piece in the soil; the filling material adheres well to the substrate, preventing liquid from entering the gap between the substrate and the reinforcement layer to cause crevice corrosion; after the experiment, the sealing material is easy to completely remove, and the experimental results will not be affected by incomplete removal of the sealing material or damage to the test piece during the removal process.
