Description

In order to ensure the manufacturing quality of heat exchanger product, before formal assembly of heat exchanger, the plate tube long seam welding quality needs to be detected through air tightness test, and the subsequent heat exchanger manufacturing work is carried out after determining whether there is welding defect. At present, in petrochemical industry, the device for detecting plate tube long seam used by manufacturing enterprises is relatively simple. The specific implementation mode is as follows: after placing a plate tube on the platform, the pressing plate is lifted by the overhead crane to cover the plate tube to fix the position of the plate tube, and then the plate tube end portion is sealed by pushing the plate with gasket, one side of the plate is a perforated plate, gas is introduced into the plate tube from the perforated plate, after reaching a certain air pressure, the plate tube is sprayed with soap water and other foaming liquids on both sides of the long seam after pressure maintaining for a period of time, if there is a point with welding defect, bubbles will be generated at the point, so as to complete the detection, after the detection is completed, the plate tube end portion is pushed away again, the pressing plate is lifted by the overhead crane, and the plate tube is manually pulled out to complete the detection of the welding quality of single plate tube long seam. By using such traditional method, the detection of only one plate tube can be completed each time, the process is complicated, time-consuming and low in production efficiency. Therefore, in actual production process, in order to ensure the product manufacturing period, the plate tubes of conventional materials such as S31603, S30408 and S30403 can usually be detected by sampling inspection in a certain proportion, so that the product manufacturing quality cannot be effectively guaranteed.
