During testing, the gas source equipment injects gas into the pipeline through a rotary joint, and the pressure change is observed through a pressure holding test to determine whether there are leaks or structural defects in the oil and gas pipeline.
[0033] The output shaft of the geared motor 8 is connected to the end of the support shaft 6 away from the sealing disc 5, and is used to provide rotational power to the support shaft 6, thereby rotating the oil and gas pipeline circumferentially.
[0034] The detection component 300 is located between the two sealing discs 5; the detection component 300 is used to place oil and gas pipelines and perform flaw detection operations.
[0035] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamp 100 may optionally include a support plate 105, a rotating seat 103, a second transmission rod 102, and a first transmission rod 101.
[0036] The support plate 105 located on the side of the rotary joint 3 is sleeved on the conveying pipe 4, and the support plate 105 located on the side of the geared motor 8 is sleeved on the support shaft 6. The diameter of the support plate 105 is larger than that of the sealing plate 5. After being driven by the driver 200, the support plate 105 can move linearly and reciprocally along the horizontal.

The detector 301 can be equipped with non-destructive testing equipment such as ultrasonic or X-ray. The detector 301 is manually turned and adjusted by the swing of the rotating disk 302 to change the orientation of the detector 301. This allows for convenient inspection of the weld between the left flange and the pipe body facing left front, or the weld between the right flange and the pipe body facing right front, or the pipe body facing forward, making it more flexible to use.
[0058] In one embodiment of this utility model, the usage process of an oil and gas pipeline failure analysis device is as follows:
[0059] Preparation involves moving all components on the two side pads 1 using the trolley 2 to approach the end of the oil and gas pipeline. The two sealing discs 5 then seal the flanges at both ends of the oil and gas pipeline. The clamp 100 cooperates with the driver 200 and is guided by the guide rod 9 to achieve clamping, ensuring end sealing.
[0060] In the flaw detection work, the geared motor 8 drives the support shaft 6 to rotate, causing the oil and gas pipeline to rotate circumferentially. The roller bracket 305 in the detection component 300 supports the pipeline and allows it to rotate circumferentially. The linear module 304 works in conjunction with the rotary disk 302 to realize the horizontal movement and angle adjustment of the detector 301, and to perform non-destructive testing on the oil and gas pipeline.
[0061] For air tightness testing, the delivery pipe 4 is connected to an external air source device via a rotary joint 3. During the rotation of the pipe, air is injected and maintained to complete the air tightness test.
[0062] This equipment integrates airtightness testing and flaw detection in the same station, reducing the number of turnovers and repeated clamping, and improving the detection efficiency of failure analysis.
