[0002] Pressure vessel connection pipe reform is to adapt to process demand change, improve production efficiency, ensure equipment safety, meet environmental protection and regulation requirements. Specifically, with the improvement of production process or the change of product type, the original pressure vessel may need to increase or replace the inlet and outlet, measurement point, cleaning port, etc. In order to improve efficiency or optimize operation, it may be necessary to increase the connection point or change the position of the connection pipe. After a long time of operation, some components may be damaged and need to be replaced or repaired. When safety hazards are found, reform can enhance safety performance. In summary, connection pipe reform not only meets production demand, improves efficiency and safety, but also meets regulatory requirements and realizes sustainable development.
[0003] Water pressure test is an important inspection step after pressure vessel connection pipe reform, mainly used for detecting the strength and tightness of the newly added connection pipe and its welded joint. At present, the common pressure vessel connection pipe reform method is to re-drill holes on the existing pressure vessel cylinder or to expand the holes at the original connection pipe position, and then to weld the new connection pipe to the cylinder. After welding and non-destructive testing, the connection pipe is connected to the test pump, and then the whole device is filled with water and pressurized by the test pump. After a certain period of pressure maintenance, it is observed whether there is leakage, visible abnormal deformation or abnormal sound at the newly added connection pipe.

The required water quantity is large. Especially when the pressure vessel is a large device, several hundred tons of water may be used for water pressure test. Therefore, the existing pressure vessel connection pipe reform structure is prone to cause a large amount of waste of water resources, and the water filled in the whole pressure vessel is easy to overload the original civil foundation, thereby adversely affecting the structure of the civil foundation.

[0034] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an auxiliary structure for hydrostatic testing, mainly used for the modification of pipe connections in pressure equipment. It includes two modification structures, as detailed below:
[0036] Figures 1-3 The image shows the first modified structure of the aforementioned hydraulic test auxiliary structure, which includes a pressure vessel 1, a connecting pipe 2, and a pipe cap 3.
[0037] Pressure vessel 1 is an existing pressure equipment on site, including tower vessels, horizontal vessels, and vertical equipment. Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic of the tower equipment. When this type of equipment needs to be modified, firstly, a modification hole 101 is opened on the cylinder wall or pipe wall of the pressure vessel 1. Then, the second end of the fitting with a suitable pipe diameter is inserted into the modification hole 101 and welded in place. After welding, the fitting 2 and the modification hole 101 are fully welded and sealed.
[0038] Figure 2 In the middle, the lower end of the connector 2 is the second end, and the upper end is the first end. The first end of the connector 2 is welded with a first flange 201, and the first flange 201 is provided with bolt mounting holes 202. The test pump is connected through the first flange 201. During the water pressure test, water is injected into the connector 2 through the test pump.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a cap 3 is welded to the second end of connector 2. Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, one end of the cap 3 is provided with an opening 301, and the inside of the cap 3 is provided with an inner cavity 302, wherein the opening 301 is connected to the inner cavity 302; the end of the cap 3 with the opening 301 is fixed to the second end of the connecting pipe 2, and after the cap 3 and the connecting pipe 2 are welded, a pressure-bearing space is formed inside the connecting pipe 2.
[0040] During the modification, the second end of connector 2 is welded to the modification hole 101 of pressure vessel 1. After welding, connector 2 is disconnected from pressure vessel 1 by pipe cap 3. During the hydrostatic test, if... Figure 2 As shown, the water pressure is borne by the pressure-bearing space. Therefore, during the water pressure test, only water needs to be filled into the pressure-bearing space to complete the test of pipe 2. This means that only pipe 2 needs to be filled with water, without needing to fill the original pressure vessel 1. This reduces the water demand for the water pressure test, minimizing water waste. Furthermore, it is less likely to overload the existing civil engineering foundation, which is beneficial for the protection of the foundation structure. After the water pressure test, the test pump is removed, and the pipe cap 3 is cut off to reconnect pipe 2 to the original pressure vessel 1, without affecting the subsequent normal use of the equipment.
[0041] In the above structure, the pressure vessel 1 has an inspection hole, also known as a septic tank opening, which is used for maintenance personnel to enter and exit the pressure vessel 1 for maintenance work. When it is necessary to remove the cap 3, the worker enters the pressure vessel 1 through the inspection hole and then uses a cutting device to cut off the cap 3. After cutting, the cut is ground smooth. The cutting device can be a handheld cutting machine.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, when removing the cap 3, in order to avoid damaging the inner wall of the original pressure vessel 1, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a second flange 203 is welded to the second end of the connecting pipe 2. The second flange 203 increases the grinding space, making it less likely for the grinding equipment to come into contact with the inner wall of the pressure vessel 1, thus protecting the inner wall of the pressure vessel 1. Simultaneously, the inner diameter of the modified hole 101 is adapted to the second flange 203. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the second flange 203 has an arc-shaped plate structure, combined with Figure 2 The side of the second flange 203 is fixedly connected and sealed to the wall of the modified hole 101 by welding. After welding, one end of the second flange 203 is aligned with the outer cylinder wall of the pressure vessel 1, and the other end is aligned with the inner cylinder wall of the pressure vessel 1. This integrates the second flange 203 with the pressure vessel 1. Meanwhile, as... Figure 2 As shown, the end of the cap 3 with an opening 301 is welded to the second flange 203. The inner diameter of the cap 3 is 100mm larger than the outer diameter of the connector 2. Therefore, when cutting the cap 3, the cutting equipment is less likely to accidentally touch the welded part between the second flange 203 and the connector 2, which is beneficial to the structural protection of the welded part between the connector 2 and the second flange 203.
[0043] Figure 4 The image shows the second modified structure of the aforementioned hydraulic test auxiliary structure, specifically the partial explosion structure. The main difference compared to the first modified structure is that the cap 3 in the second modified structure is fixed to the second flange 203 using bolts.
[0044] In the second modification structure, the pipe cap 3 is connected with the second flange 203 by bolt fixing mode, which facilitates the dismounting of the pipe cap 3 and the subsequent cutting operation. To achieve this purpose, as shown in Figure 4 the pipe cap 3 is provided with a third flange 303 at one end of the opening 301, wherein the third flange 303 abuts against the second flange 203, and a rubber pad is arranged between the third flange 303 and the second flange 203 for sealing.
[0045] As shown in Figure 4 the second flange 203 is welded with a plurality of threaded rods 4, and the third flange 303 is provided with bolt through holes 304, one end of the threaded rod 4 penetrates the bolt through hole 304 and is screwed with a nut 5, after the nut 5 is tightened, the pipe cap 3 is fastened on the second flange 203 through the cooperation of the nut 5 and the threaded rod 4, and the fixation of the pipe cap 3 is achieved. Through this structure, the dismounting of the pipe cap 3 after the hydraulic test is facilitated, and after dismounting, only the threaded rod 4 needs to be cut off, which greatly improves the convenience of the cutting operation.
[0046] To facilitate the installation and fixation of the nut 5, the end of the bolt through hole 304 close to the nut 5 protrudes outward and forms a boss shape, which is a mounting table for the nut 5, and after the nut 5 is tightened, the nut 5 abuts against the end face of the boss, and through the boss, the nut 5 is tightened.
[0047] The use method of the hydraulic test auxiliary structure of the utility model is as follows:
[0048] First, the reform hole 101 is opened on the pressure vessel 1, and then the second end of the connecting pipe 2 is welded and fixed in the reform hole 101, and during the hydraulic test, the connecting pipe 2 is connected with the pressure test pump, wherein the output pipeline of the pressure test pump is connected with the connecting pipe 2 through flanges. After the test, the pipe cap 3 is cut off. If the second modification structure is adopted, after the test, the pipe cap 3 is dismounted first, and then the threaded rod 4 is cut off. After cutting, the cut is polished smooth.
[0049] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
