Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a flange end sealing groove and a sealing ring diameter measuring caliper, belonging to the technical field of measuring instruments. Background Art

[0002] In the modern chemical industry, chemical production equipment often needs to meet the requirements of high temperature, high pressure and corrosion resistance. The materials are generally high-grade stainless steel such as 2507 stainless steel, and some even use expensive zirconium alloy. In order to facilitate disassembly, when flanges are used for local pipe connections, rigid stainless steel sealing rings are often used for sealing in order to meet the harsh production conditions (see attached). Figure 2 In actual engineering, double nuts are used to tighten the tie rod bolts at each end. Because the sealing ring is made of rigid material, the matching precision between the sealing cones at each end of the sealing ring and the sealing groove at the flange end must be extremely high. Prior to installation, the matching flanges and sealing rings are machined on high-precision processing equipment, which generally meets the requirements. However, due to machining accuracy errors (such as angular and dimensional errors), the actual matching surface (contact surface) between the sealing ring cone and the sealing groove is limited, primarily consisting of linear contact. This poses a safety hazard for high-pressure sealing requirements. In the event of an actual leak, the ejected high-temperature, high-pressure gas acts as a cutting jet, rapidly increasing the leak gap, causing injuries to personnel and surrounding objects, polluting the environment, causing equipment downtime, and potentially leading to even greater safety incidents.

[0003] In order to check whether the conical diameter of the sealing ring and the diameter of the sealing groove at the flange end match, precise measurement is usually required. Since the conical surface of the sealing ring and the cross-section of the sealing groove are both conical surfaces, conventional methods are inconvenient to measure, so it is necessary to design a special diameter measuring instrument. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the existing measurement and inspection of the conical surface diameter of the sealing ring and the diameter of the sealing groove at the end of the flange, which cannot match each other. Usually, accurate measurement is required. Since the conical surface of the sealing ring and the cross-section of the sealing groove are both conical surfaces, the existing method is inconvenient to measure. A caliper is provided to measure the diameter of the sealing groove and the sealing ring at the end of the flange.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose / solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A caliper for measuring the diameter of a flange end sealing groove and a sealing ring, comprising:

[0007] A main ruler, the surface of which is provided with a main scale, a fixed foot is provided at one end of the main ruler, and a calibration device is provided at the end of the fixed foot; a secondary ruler is movably provided on the main ruler, and a movable foot is provided at the end of the secondary ruler away from the fixed foot, a vernier is provided on the secondary ruler, and a fixing device for positioning the secondary ruler relative to the main ruler is provided on the secondary ruler.

[0008] Optionally, the main ruler is in the shape of a rectangular strip.

[0009] Optionally, the fixed clamping foot is provided with a guide groove, and is movably clamped on the main scale through the guide groove. The top of the fixed clamping foot is provided with a fixed V-shaped clamping groove for clamping the sealing ring, and the bottom is provided with a fixed convex cone clamping foot clamped in the sealing groove.

[0010] Optionally, the angles of the fixed convex cone and the fixed V-shaped groove are consistent with the sealing groove at the end of the flange and the sealing cone angle of the sealing ring.

[0011] Optionally, a movable V-shaped groove is provided on the top of the movable clamping foot, and a movable convex cone clamping foot is provided on the bottom.

[0012] Optionally, the angles of the movable convex cone and the movable V-shaped groove are consistent with the sealing groove at the end of the flange and the sealing cone angle of the sealing ring.

[0013] Optionally, the fixing device is a fixing screw.

[0014] Optionally, the calibration device includes a screw seat provided with a side portion of a fixed clamping foot and an adjusting screw, the adjusting screw fine-tunes the position of the fixed clamping foot at the left end of the main scale, and the screw seat is used to lock the adjusting screw.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows: the utility model adapts to the sealing cone angle of the sealing groove and the sealing ring by arranging fixed clamping feet and movable clamping feet on the caliper. The measuring caliper has a simple structure and is convenient for measurement. It can quickly measure the sealing groove diameter of the flange end and the sealing cone diameter of the sealing ring.
