What is the ladder buckle oil casing

  Because the yoke buckle oil casing is shaped like a ladder, it is called a stepped oil casing pipe, which is one of the commonly used buckle shapes for oil casings.

  The ladder ladder oil casing is abbreviated as btc ladder ladder oil casing. It is mainly used for supporting the well wall during and after drilling to ensure the drilling process and the normal operation of the entire well after completion. The casing of the casing offset buckle oil casing is bundled with steel wire or steel belt.

  According to different well conditions and different depths of geological conditions, different grades of ladder-type oil casings are selected. The casing itself is also required to have corrosion resistance in a corrosive environment. The formula for calculating the weight is: [(outer diameter - wall thickness) * wall thickness] * 0.02466 = kg / m (weight per meter), the main materials include J55, K55, N80, L80, C90, T95, P110, Q125, V150. The advantages of the trapezoidal thread profile increase the resistance to axial and axial compression loads and provide leakage resistance.

Ultrasonic inspection of thin wall tubing

  Ultrasonic inspection of thin wall tubing is as follows:

  (1) Detection method. Ultrasonic inspection of thin wall tubing is mainly carried out by automatic detection. The forms are:

  ① The probe is fixed, and the steel pipe is spirally advanced by the mechanical transmission device, so that the probe moves relative to the axis of the pipe. A single-wafer water immersion line focusing probe and a single-channel A-type pulse reflection ultrasonic flaw detector are usually used to detect the longitudinal (distribution along the axis of the tube) defects in the inner and outer walls of the tube.

  ② The pipe is rotated by the mechanical transmission equipment. The probe is driven by the drive trolley to move at a uniform speed along the axis of the pipe. The probes, instruments and detection defects used are the same as ①.

  ③ While the probe is rotating, the pipe is fed straight by the mechanical transmission equipment. Generally, multiple probes with different functions and different forms are used. The multi-channel ultrasonic flaw detector is used to simultaneously detect the longitudinal, lateral and layer defects of the inner and outer walls of the pipe. At the same time, the wall thickness of the tube is measured and the ellipticity is checked.

  The detection method has a high degree of automation, and can simultaneously detect multi-directional defects, and can be combined with a micro-processor or an automatic multi-recorder for automatic print recording, quality sorting and the like.

  (2) Detection frequency. Due to the thin wall thickness of the tube and the small size for effective pairing. The defects are detected and generally use a frequency of 5 MHz or higher.

  (3) Acoustic coupling.

  Regardless of the detection method used, water-treated water is used as a coupling agent in the ultrasonic testing of small-diameter thin-walled tubes. The basic requirement is to ensure that the water is sufficiently wetted on the surface of the steel pipe without generating blisters and reducing the corrosion of water on the steel pipe material.

  (4) Acoustic wave incident angle adjustment.

  ① Horizontal offset method: the axis of the probe is adjusted parallel to the central axis OP of the tube, and the distance from the OP-segment is translated, which is called the eccentricity X (determined by the incident angle of the acoustic wave), so that the sound wave is inclined to the surface of the tube. After being refracted, it is transmitted inside the pipe material and is guaranteed to reach the inner wall of the pipe.

  ② Deflection method: the axis of the probe coincides with the central axis OP of the tube, and the pivot point on the probe is deflected by a certain angle, so that the sound wave is inclined to the surface of the pipe, and is refracted and transmitted to the inside of the pipe material.

Tensile strength and yield strength

  Tensile strength and yield strength are two important mechanical properties of metal materials. These two indices are closely related to the fatigue-resistant manufacturing and the service life of components.

  Tensile strength is an index of mechanical properties of a metal material obtained by a uniaxial tensile test. Tensile strength represents the ability of a metal material to resist deformation and damage under external forces. Tensile strength = breaking load / initial cross-sectional area of the specimen.

  When the metal has obvious plastic deformation, the cross-sectional area used in the calculation should be the true cross-sectional area measured after the break, and the obtained tensile strength is called the true tensile strength.

  This tensile strength index is an index against the maximum deformation ability. In other words, when the deformation reaches this level, the material is broken, and under the condition of uniaxial stretching, no larger deformation can be found. It is a limit and is specific. The tensile sample can withstand the limits of the applied load and is therefore called Ultimate Tensile Strength.

  Yield strength is also one of the important mechanical properties of metal materials. The yield strength represents the resistance of the metal material to the initial plastic deformation, and its English expression is Yield strength. In fact, this is not completely accurate, because some metal materials have obvious yield points on the tensile curve, while other metal materials have no obvious yield point, especially for some materials with uneven microstructure. Therefore, it is necessary to artificially define the corresponding yield resistance strength when the plastic deformation is to a certain extent. In fact, before the artificially defined plastic deformation value, the slip of the internal driving force of the metal has started, so it cannot accurately reflect the plastic deformation. Start.

  There is also a parameter about yield strength and tensile strength, this parameter is the yield ratio! The yield ratio is the ratio of yield strength to tensile strength. The range is between 0 and 1. The yield ratio is one of the indicators for measuring the brittleness of steel. The greater the yield ratio, the smaller the difference between the yield strength and the tensile strength of the steel, the worse the plasticity of the steel and the greater the brittleness!

  The destruction of the material begins with the yield point. The lower the yield ratio, the longer the material will break from the beginning to the fracture, and the higher the yield ratio, the shorter the time from the onset of the material to the fracture. The energy is converted into heat energy between the yield point and the break point.

  Simply saying that the yield strength is high or the tensile strength is high, then the material is necessarily better or safer. Only steels with high yield strength and low yield ratio are safer.

High strength low alloy steel

  High-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels, or microalloyed steels, are designed to provide better mechanical properties and/or greater resistance to atmospheric corrosion than conventional carbon steels in the normal sense because they are designed to meet specific mechanical properties rather than a chemical composition.

  The HSLA steels have low carbon contents (0.05-0.25% C) in order to produce adequate formability and weldability, and they have manganese contents up to 2.0%. Small quantities of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper, nitrogen, vanadium, niobium, titanium and zirconium are used in various combinations.

  HSLA Classification:

  Weathering steels, designated to exhibit superior atmospheric corrosion resistance.

  Control-rolled steels, hot rolled according to a predetermined rolling schedule, designed to develop a highly deformed austenite structure that will transform to a very fine equiaxed ferrite structure on cooling.

  Pearlite-reduced steels, strengthened by very fine-grain ferrite and precipitation hardening but with low carbon content and therefore little or no pearlite in the microstructure.

  Microalloyed steels, with very small additions of such elements as niobium, vanadium, and/or titanium for refinement of grain size and/or precipitation hardening.

  Acicular ferrite steel, very low carbon steels with sufficient hardenability to transform on cooling to a very fine high-strength acicular ferrite structure rather than the usual polygonal ferrite structure.

  Dual-phase steels, processed to a micro-structure of ferrite containing small uniformly distributed regions of high-carbon martensite, resulting in a product with low yield strength and a high rate of work hardening, thus providing a high-strength steel of superior formability.

  The various types of HSLA steels may also have small additions of calcium, rare earth elements, or zirconium for sulfide inclusion shape control.

Resistance welding tube process principle

  The electric resistance welded pipe (ERW steel pipe) is a method in which a weld is combined and pressure is applied through an electrode, and the electric current is welded by the electric resistance generated by the contact surface of the joint and the adjacent region. When high-frequency currents pass through metal conductors, two strange effects occur: skin effect and proximity effect, high-frequency welding is to use these two effects to weld the steel pipe, these two effects are the basis for achieving high-frequency welding of metal. High-frequency welding uses the skin effect to concentrate the energy of the high-frequency current on the surface of the workpiece; the proximity effect is used to control the position and range of the high-frequency current flow path. The speed of the current is very fast, it can heat, melt and join the adjacent steel plate edges in a short time.

  Geometric seamlessness is to remove the internal and external burrs of the ERW steel pipe. Due to the continuous improvement and improvement of the structure and cutter of the inner burr removal system, the removal of the inner burr of the large and medium diameter steel pipe has been well treated. The inner burr can be controlled at about -0.2mm to about 0.5mm.

  Physical seamlessness means that there is a difference between the metallographic structure inside the weld and the base metal, which leads to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the weld zone, and measures need to be taken to make it uniform and uniform.
