Analysis on performance and test of a new type of ultra-high pressure pipe joint

Analysis as well as application of ultra-high pressure hydraulic system and elements has become a trend. The structure and operation principle of a new type of ultra-high pressure pipe joint is introduced. The structure of the new type of ultra-high pressure pipe joint is simple and is easy to be produced. The finite element model on two working conditions( preload condition with 30 N·m torque and static-loading condition with 70 MPa pressure) is built and computed. The width of contact area,the equivalent stress status,as well as the contact pressure status are plotted and analyzed. According to the national standard,test on air-tightness,blasting,and cyclic endurance is conducted and the results show that the new type of ultra-high pressure pipe joint has the sealability for ultra-high pressure up to 70 MPa,and the DN6 ultra-high pressure pipe joint can provide effective seal under70 MPa fluid pressure. The research can provide a thinking and method on designing ultra-high pressure pipe joint and push forward the development of ultra-high pressure hydraulic system.

Transient out-of-plane distortion of multi-pass fillet welded tube to pipe T-joints

The out-of-plane distortion induced in a multi-pass circumferential fillet welding of tube to pipe under different weld sequences and directions was studied using Finite Element Method(FEM) based Sysweld software and verified experimentally. The FEM analyses consisted of thermal and mechanical analyses.Thermal analysis was validated with experimental transient temperature measurements. In the mechanical analysis, three different weld sequences and directions were considered to understand the mechanism of out-of-plane distortion in the tube to pipe T-joints. It was learnt that the welding direction plays a major role in minimizing the out-of-plane distortion. Further, during circumferential fillet welding of the tube to pipe component, the out-of-plane distortion generated in the x direction was primarily influenced by heat input due to the start and stop points, whereas the distortion in the z direction was influenced by time lag and welding direction. The FEM predicted distortion was compared with experimental measurements and the mechanism of out-of-plane distortion was confirmed.

Sensitivity Analysis of Buried Jointed Pipelines Subjected to Earthquake Waves

In this study, a number of nonlinear time-history dynamic analyses are conducted on a part of Tehran water distribution network to investigate its functionality during transient large ground motions. The network is of 950-meter length, consisting of ductile iron pipes segments of 6-meter length. Pipes are modeled using beam elements and springs characterize the connections. Considering the time lag between support inputs, and the nonlinear soil-pipe interaction, by scaling the amplitude of the Tab as earthquake record, incremental dynamic analysis is carried out on the network in two orthogonal directions and the sensitivity of the network response is examined. Furthermore, the effects of variations in soil damping and soil spring stiffness are also studied in the network analysis. Finally the effect of changes in angle between incoming wave and pipeline is considered on a simplified network. Results show that the points other than critical ones at network intersections remain almost intact and when the angle of incidence is 30 degrees the stress and rotation peak.

Study on fracture characteristic of welded high-density polyethylene pipe

Crack opening displacement(COD) was applied to characterize the fracture initiation of the tough high density polyethylene. Normal single side notched three point bend specimens and silica rubber replica techniques were used to study the characteristic COD of high density polyethylene pipe and its butt fusion joints including the weld fusion zone and heat affected zone at different temperature from -78 ℃ to 20 ℃ . Testing results show that the characteristic COD appears to depend on the structural features that are determined by welding process and the testing temperature. As the temperature is lowered, the characteristic COD of all zones studied decreases. Because the welding process significantly changes some structural feature of the material, characteristic COD of the weld fusion zone is the smallest one among those of the three zones. The results can be used for the engineering design and failure analysis of HDPE pipe.

考虑钻杆接头的小井眼环空压耗计算模型

小井眼钻井作为开发深部油气资源的重要技术手段越来越受到重视。小井眼往往具有更高的环空压耗,这给环空压力控制带来了一定挑战。准确预测钻柱偏心旋转情况下的环空压耗是小井眼钻井的重要理论与实践基础,但常规预测模型适用性非常有限,往往忽略了钻杆接头的影响,无法满足现场的精度需求。为此,利用数值模拟技术,分析了钻杆接头对环空流场、压耗的影响规律,并据此确定了压耗修正因子经验模型的构建方式。分析结果表明:钻杆接头所产生的额外压耗受钻井液类型、钻杆转速、偏心和环空返速的影响,压耗修正因子的构建应考虑多种因素的耦合关系。利用152组数模结果,建立了针对新疆玛湖油田的小井眼环空压耗预测模型,该模型计算结果表明,在钻杆低偏心度情况下存在临界转速,使得环空压耗达到最大,而钻杆处于高偏心度时,环空压耗会随转速增大而增大;而偏心度对环空压耗的影响规律也会因转速不同而变得更加复杂。利用环空压耗预测模型,计算了玛湖油田MHHW-X井的当量循环密度,结果与PWD数据进行对比,平均误差仅为1.18%,模型具有较高的准确性。研究结果表明,利用数模结果建立的考虑钻杆接头的小井眼环空压耗模型可以满足现场预测精度需要,能够为现场环空压力控制提供指导。
