Content description

       The invention belongs to the field of leak detection of petrochemical equipment, in particular to an experimental device and an experiment method for simulating the internal leakage of a gas valve.

Invention background

       Valve leakage traditional detection methods need to stop production, demolition and pressure and other processes, there is still a lack of on-line diagnosis of the valve leakage degree of effective methods and means. Foreign scholars have conducted a lot of research in recent years. Kaewwaewnoi W, Mostafapour A, Noipitak M, Meland E and wear light et al early results based on Lighthill is proposed to predict the valve leakage acoustic emission theory. As a new nondestructive testing technique, acoustic emission testing has proved to be a promising method.

       Because the petrochemical production equipment under complex conditions under different conditions, how to establish the relationship between the amount of leakage within the valve type, namely in the process parameters under certain conditions, to determine the amount of valve leakage based on acoustic emission signals, is a difficult problem in petrochemical enterprises.

       The application number is "CN 102928181 A" and the invention name is an analog system for detecting leakage in hydrocarbon valves, and a test system and method for simulating internal leakage of valves are disclosed. Through the control of valve opening of the valve in different leakage state by differential pressure transmitter, flow sensor and acoustic emission probe signal transmitted by each data acquisition data acquisition software corresponding to the back end. And in a large amount of data on the basis of the formation of a set of discriminant software, in the field of offline testing, you can call the corresponding information in the database to determine whether the internal leakage of the valve, as well as the size of the leakage.

       However, the technology used to weight metering valve leakage flow meter, flow meter and narrow valve size, internal leakage amount vary greatly, different valves need to use different flowmeter measurement range, high cost, and the corresponding difference between the flowmeter, to ensure reliable data. In addition, petrochemical production equipment, in addition to a small number of open pipeline pressure as the atmosphere, most of the valve is pressure test valve back pressure of the above technique is realized by collecting cans, not free to set up, so it is difficult to meet the multi condition simulation of petrochemical production. The existing test uses rigid pipeline to connect each component, and is difficult to apply to different standards or different pressure levels or different types of petrochemical valves, and the analog valve categories are greatly restricted.
