TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of safety valve, in particular to a sealing test device of a spring safety valve. BACKGROUND
[0002] The spring safety valve is a common type of safety valve, mainly used to protect pressure vessels, pipelines or equipment from overpressure damage. Its core working principle is to control the opening and closing of the valve through the balance of spring force and medium pressure. The spring safety valve refers to the sealing element such as valve clack or plunger being closed by the elastic pressure of spring. Once the high pressure generated by abnormal pressure of pressure vessel overcomes the spring pressure of safety valve, the closing device is opened, forming a pressure relief channel to discharge the high pressure. According to the opening height of valve clack, it is divided into full-lift type and micro-lift type. The full-lift type has large discharge capacity and good rebound force, and is suitable for liquid and gas media, and the micro-lift type is only suitable for liquid media.
[0003] The sealing performance test of spring safety valve is a key link to ensure its normal work and prevent medium leakage.
[0004] The static sealing test in the commonly used sealing performance test method is still the mainstream method due to its simplicity and low cost. The test principle is: in the closed state of the safety valve, a certain pressure (usually 90% of the set pressure) is applied, and the leakage between the valve clack and the valve seat is detected. Test medium: usually air, nitrogen or water. Leakage detection: for gas medium, bubble method (valve is immersed in water to observe bubbles) or flow meter is used to measure leakage. For liquid medium, the number of leakage drops is observed or flow meter is used to measure. Allowable leakage rate: according to the standard, the leakage rate is usually strictly limited, for example, API 527 stipulates that the gas leakage rate shall not exceed a certain value.
