Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal sealing ring technology, specifically a metal sealing ring for high-pressure flanges. Background Technology

[0002] Sealing rings are a common component in hydrogenation reactors, used to ensure the airtightness between pipe connections and prevent pipe leakage. Existing sealing rings are usually made of rubber or metal, and the choice of sealing ring material and structural form has an important significance for its sealing performance and service life.

[0003] The existing technology has the following defects: the flange seal of the ordinary residue oil hydrotreating reactor adopts a T-shaped sealing groove structure, which is a single-layer seal. After long-term use, the flange sealing groove is subjected to the pressure of the gasket and hydrogen is also present, which creates conditions for hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen residue in steel will cause steel embrittlement and lead to seal failure. Therefore, a metal sealing ring for high-pressure flanges is proposed.

[0004] Patent document CN219673611U describes a metal sealing ring suitable for sealing pipe flanges. Connecting rings are fixedly provided on two opposite annular surfaces of the sealing ring. The cross-sections of the two connecting rings are both O-shaped, and the axes of the two connecting rings coincide with those of the sealing ring. This reduces the probability of a gap between the sealing ring and the flange and improves the sealing effect. However, it still cannot prevent hydrogen corrosion and slag oil corrosion.

The length of the ring body is the same as the length of the grooves of the upper and lower flanges. The material of the ring body is 00Cr17Ni14Mo2. The height of the ring body is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the height of the groove after the upper and lower flanges are connected. The diameter of the center circle of the ring body is the same as the diameter of the two grooves of the flange.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal sealing ring for high-pressure flanges. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,include:

[0026] Ring 1 has an octagonal cross-section, and its cross-sectional shape is the same as that of the flange groove. The length of the upper side of the cross-section of ring 1 is 1.2 to 1.3 times the length of the bottom side of the flange groove. The length of ring 1 is the same as the length of the grooves of the upper and lower flanges. The material of ring 1 is 00Cr17Ni14Mo2. The height of ring 1 is 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the height of the groove after the upper and lower flanges are connected. The diameter of the center circle of ring 1 is the same as the diameter of the two grooves of the flange.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner side of the outer ring of the ring body 1 is provided with a fixing groove 5, and the fixing groove 5 is integrally formed with the ring body 1. The outer side of the ring body 1 is provided with a sealing soft ring.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixed groove 5 is provided with a limiting ring groove 6 inside, and the limiting ring groove 6 is integrally formed with the ring body 1. The limiting ring groove 6 is connected to the fixed groove 5, and the limiting ring groove 6 plays a limiting role.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sealing ring includes an embedded ring 2 and an extension ring 3, and the embedded ring 2 and the extension ring 3 are integrally formed. The sealing ring improves the sealing performance when the two high-pressure flanges are joined.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The upper and lower sides of the embedded ring 2 are provided with inclined protruding rings 7, and the inclined protruding rings 7 are integrally formed with the embedded ring 2. The inclined protruding rings 7 are adapted to the limiting ring groove 6. The inclined protruding rings 7 form a barb structure to prevent the sealing soft ring from falling off.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The extension ring 3 has two sets of boss rings 4 on its outside, and the boss rings 4 are integrally formed with the extension ring 3. The boss rings 4 further improve the sealing performance.

[0032] This design features an octagonal ring body 1 with a cross-sectional shape identical to that of the flange groove. This ensures that when the upper and lower flanges are connected, the ring body fits tightly against the groove walls, achieving a double-layer sealing effect. When installing the sealing ring and ring body 1, one end of the embedded ring 2 is inserted into the fixing groove 5, and the beveled convex ring 7 is inserted into the limiting ring groove 6. The beveled convex ring 7 forms a barbed structure to prevent the sealing ring from detaching and improve its stability. When the two flanges are joined, they compress the extension ring 3, and the deformation generated by the boss ring 4 fills the gap between the two flanges, further improving the sealing performance.
