Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of U-shaped tube inspection, in particular to a low-pressure U-shaped tube pressure testing tool. Background Art
[0002] The U-tube is an important component of the heat exchanger in the pressure vessel. The quality of the U-tube directly affects the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger during the working process and the safety of the heat exchanger. During production, the U-tube needs to be bent into shape from a straight tube. After the U-tube is bent and formed, it should be subjected to pressure leak detection tests one by one, such as air pressure tests and hydraulic tests, to check whether it has leaks. During the pressure test, the U-shaped heat exchange tube needs to be clamped and fixed by a clamping device. The traditional clamping device is very cumbersome to use, and clamping and disassembly are very time-consuming and labor-intensive, which leads to low efficiency of the U-shaped heat exchange tube pressure test, and after clamping, the end of the pipe is not convenient for a sealed connection with the external test device.
