Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline testing technology, and in particular to a portal-type pipeline tightness testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] High-pressure mud pipes are crucial pipelines in the drilling and production system, designed for pressures up to 15,000 psi. After fabrication, they undergo a 1.5-fold strength test, increasing the pressure to 22,500 psi. Due to space constraints on board, the watertight pressurization pipeline from the mud pump room to the moon pool is positioned at low points at both ends, and its location cannot be changed as it passes through several compartments. The pipeline is a portal-type (N-shaped) pipe, with all connections welded together and no intermediate disassembly possible. Because the inlet and outlet are both at low points during pressure testing, air cannot be vented from the pipe, making pressure stabilization impossible during the strength test. While a vent at the highest point of the portal-type pipe could release air, the high pressure and special materials of the high-pressure mud pipeline mean that such an installation would not only compromise the pipe's strength but also create a potential leakage hazard later. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portal pipe tightness test fixture. The exhaust pipe allows air inside the portal pipe to be smoothly discharged when water is injected into it, ensuring the accuracy of the test data for the portal pipe tightness test.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a portal pipe tightness test fixture, comprising a first test pressure blind plate 2, a second test pressure blind plate 3, a water injection pipe 4, and an exhaust pipe 5. The first test pressure blind plate 2 is connected to the first end flange 11 of the portal pipe 1. The water injection pipe 4 is connected to the first test pressure blind plate 2 and communicates with the inner cavity of the portal pipe 1. The exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the first test pressure blind plate 2, with its upper end close to the top surface of the inner cavity of the portal pipe 1 and its lower end extending out of the first test pressure blind plate 2. The second test pressure blind plate 3 is connected to the second end flange 12 of the portal pipe 1. The second test pressure blind plate 3 is provided with a first test pressure connector 6 for connecting a pressure gauge. The first test pressure blind plate 2 and the second test pressure blind plate 3 respectively seal both ends of the portal pipe 1 to effectively perform a sealing test.

[0020] This invention, by setting an exhaust pipe 5 extending into the inner cavity of the portal pipe 1 on the first test pressure blind plate 2, allows air inside the portal pipe 1 to be smoothly discharged through the exhaust pipe 5 when water is injected into the portal pipe 1, ensuring stable pressure during the pressure test of the portal pipe 1 and ensuring the accuracy of the test data of the portal pipe 1's tightness test; the tightness test is simple to operate, does not damage the portal pipe 1, and the tightness test fixture is simple to manufacture, reducing the cost of the tightness test.

The first exhaust section 51 is built into the portal pipe 1, and the second exhaust section 52 is located in the portal pipe 1, which facilitates the connection and processing of the exhaust pipe 5 with the first pressure test blind plate 2.

[0022] For example, the second exhaust section 52 is equipped with a high-pressure valve 55. After the air in the portal pipe 1 is vented, the high-pressure valve 55 is closed before the portal pipe 1 is tested for tightness.

[0023] Preferably, the exhaust connection hole is located at the edge of the first test pressure blind plate 2, which facilitates the installation of the exhaust pipe 5 and avoids interference between the exhaust pipe 5 and other components.

[0024] For example, the first pressure test blind plate 2 is provided with a water injection connection hole, and the upper end of the water injection pipe 4 is connected to the lower end of the water injection connection hole through the fourth pressure test connector 41 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the water injection pipe 4 and the first pressure test blind plate 2.

[0025] For example, a sealing ring 7 is sandwiched between the first pressure test blind plate 2 and the first end flange 11 of the portal pipe 1, and a sealing ring 7 is sandwiched between the second pressure test blind plate 3 and the second end flange 12 of the portal pipe 1; furthermore, both the first pressure test blind plate 2 and the second pressure test blind plate 3 are provided with sealing grooves 21 that cooperate with the sealing rings 7, to ensure good sealing between the first pressure test blind plate 2, the second pressure test blind plate 3 and the portal pipe 1.
