Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline testing technology, and in particular relates to a pressure testing tool for pipeline joints. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of hazardous chemicals, pipelines for transporting materials are extended by connecting them through flanges, threads, welding, etc., to achieve long-distance transportation of materials. The materials in the pipelines are often flammable, explosive, or toxic and harmful, and are pressurized to achieve long-distance transportation. The pipeline joints need to be inspected to ensure that the joints are of qualified quality and to avoid leakage incidents during use.

[0003] The area with the greatest risk of leakage during the production process is the pipe joint. Therefore, it is particularly important to use pressure testing tools to check for leaks at the joint before production begins, which greatly reduces the risk of leakage at the pipe joint during production.

[0004] Existing pressure testing tools for pipe joints mainly consist of an inflation mechanism and a testing mechanism. During use, valves are closed at both ends of the pipes, and air is injected into the pipes. Then, water or soapy water is applied to the joint, and the presence of continuous bubbles is used to determine if there is a leak. However, this method is problematic because the water or soapy water applied to the joint means that any leak indicates the soapy water or water has seeped into the pipe, negatively impacting the pipe's internal hygiene and hindering subsequent material transport. Furthermore, relying on visual observation of bubbles to determine the test results introduces significant errors. Therefore, we provide a pipe joint pressure testing tool to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure testing tool for pipe joints. The sealing component can seal the joint between two pipes, and then the gas supply component can supply helium-nitrogen mixture to the two pipes. The helium detector can detect helium at the joint to determine whether there is a leak. This solves the problems of existing pressure testing tools for pipe joints.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model relates to a pressure testing tool for pipe joints, comprising pipe one and pipe two, with a joint seam at the joint of pipe one and pipe two. A sealing component is provided within the joint seam, the sealing component including a sealing ring disposed within the joint seam, and air bladders are also bonded to both sides of the sealing ring. The sealing ring and air bladders are also connected to a tee connector, the main pipe of which is connected to an air supply component. The air supply component includes a first air pressure pump connected to the tee connector, and a second air pressure pump disposed above the first air pressure pump. The second air pressure pump is connected to pipe one and pipe two via a double-pipe. A testing component is also provided beside the sealing component, the testing component including a suction nozzle disposed within the joint seam, and the suction nozzle is mounted on a helium detector.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the sealing ring abuts against the inner walls of both sides of the joint through the airbag, and an air inlet is also installed on the sealing ring and the airbag. The air inlet includes an air nozzle fixed on the sealing ring and the airbag, and a solenoid valve is also installed on the air nozzle.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the sealing ring and the internal chamber of the airbag are connected to the air nozzle through a solenoid valve, and the other end of the air nozzle is connected to the end of the pipe of the three-way connector.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that both the first air pump and the second air pump are provided with a fixed frame inside, and a pressure gauge is installed on the air outlet end of the first air pump and a pressure gauge is installed on the air outlet end of the second air pump.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a pipe connector is installed on the double-pass pipe, and the double-pass pipe is connected to the air outlet of the second air pressure pump through the pipe connector. The other two ends of the double-pass pipe are connected to the ends of the first pipe and the second pipe through flexible hoses.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the helium detector in the test assembly is provided with an instrument tube, and the two ends of the instrument tube are respectively connected to the detection end of the helium detector and the suction nozzle.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the helium detector is disposed on the outside of the sealing assembly, and the suction nozzle passes through the sealing ring and the air bladder and is disposed in the joint seam.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model provides a sealing component and an air supply component. The sealing component includes a sealing ring installed in the joint between pipe one and pipe two. Airbags are also bonded to both sides of the sealing ring. The airbags and the air inlet on the sealing ring are connected to a connector of a three-way pipe. The main air pipe end of the three-way pipe is connected to a pressure pump in the air supply component. The pressure pump and the three-way pipe can supply air to the sealing ring and the airbag, causing them to expand at the joint, thereby achieving the effect of sealing the joint between pipe one and pipe two.

[0014] 2. This utility model includes a sealing component, a gas supply component, and a testing component. The gas supply component further includes a second air pressure pump, the outlet of which is equipped with a double-ended pipe. This double-ended pipe connects to pipes one and two, thereby supplying a helium-nitrogen mixture to pipes one and two. The testing component includes a helium detector with an instrument tube. The end of the instrument tube is equipped with a suction nozzle, which is positioned in the inner joint of the sealing component. When there is a leak in this joint, the gas inside pipes one and two will enter the joint through the leak. When there is no leak, the gas inside the joint will not leak. The gas in pipes 1 and 2 will not enter the joint. During use, start the second air pump, which will supply helium-nitrogen mixture to pipes 1 and 2 through the dual-pipe system. Then, pipes 1 and 2 will be filled with helium-nitrogen mixture and regular air. Next, insert the suction nozzle of the helium detector between the sealing ring and the air bladder into the joint between pipes 1 and 2, and slowly move it circumferentially along the joint. At the same time, observe whether the helium detector displays a reading. If it does, there is a leak at the joint between pipes 1 and 2; if it does not, there is no leak at the joint between pipes 1 and 2. Attached Figure Description
