Inspection method for oil bushing manufacturer

    What are the detection methods of oil casing pipe ? Let's take a brief look:

    1. Ultrasonic testing

    When ultrasonic waves are spread in the tested raw materials, the acoustic characteristics of the raw materials and the changes in the internal organization have a positive impact on the spread of the ultrasonic waves. After detecting the affected levels and conditions of the ultrasonic waves, the changes in the function and structure of the raw materials are understood .

    2. Radiographic inspection

    Radiographic inspection uses the difference in the amount of radiation transmitted between the normal part and the defective part to form the resolution of the blackness on the negative.

    3. Penetrant test

    Penetrant test is to use the capillary action of liquid to permeate the penetrant into the opening on the surface of the solid raw material, and then draw the penetrant penetrant to the surface through the developer to show the existence of the defect. Penetration testing is suitable for a variety of metal and ceramic workpieces, and the time from penetration manipulation to the appearance of defects is relatively short, usually about half an hour. It may be useful to detect surface fatigue, stress corrosion and welding cracks, and to directly measure the size of cracks.

    4. Magnetic particle detection

    Magnetic particle detection is to use magnetic flux leakage to absorb magnetic particles and form magnetic marks to provide defect manifestation. It can detect surface and subsurface defects. The nature of defects is easy to distinguish. Paint and electroplated surfaces do not affect the detection vividness.

    5. Eddy current detection

    If the eddy current detection mainly uses the eddy current induced in the workpiece by the ferromagnetic coil to analyze the internal quality of the workpiece, it can detect the shortcomings of the surface and near surface of various conductive raw materials, the usual parameter control is troublesome, and the detection results are difficult to explain. Moreover, it is required that the detection object must be a conductive crack, and the length of the fault can be measured euphemistically.

    6. Magnetic flux leakage detection

    Magnetic flux leakage detection of petroleum casing is based on the characteristics of high permeability of ferromagnetic materials. Basically, the quality of in-service petroleum casing is tested by measuring the permeability change caused by defects in ferromagnetic materials .

    7. Magnetic impression detection

    Magnetic impression detection is derived from the relationship between the physical nature of the magnetic phenomenon of metals and the dislocation process. It has many advantages such as high utilization, low cost, and no grinding. It has an important and ordinary application prospect in the industry.

    In order to improve the service life of oil well pipes and reduce costs, oilfields require oil well pipes to be reused multiple times, which puts forward requirements for excellent anti-stick performance of oil pipes. If the oil pipe is stuck, the integrity of the thread connection will be damaged. Continued use may cause leakage at the thread connection and decrease the connection strength. Serious problems such as falling off the well may cause huge economic losses to the oilfield.

    The API specification requires that the tubing can be shackled 6 times without sticking when in use. Although the well conditions of each oil field are different, the conditions of the buckle (the method of buckle, the torque of the buckle and the speed of the buckle) are not the same when the tubing goes down. The requirements for the number of trips on the tubing are different. It is required that the number of trips of the oil pipe can reach more than 10 times, and some oilfields require more than 30 times.

Surface treatment method and function of stainless steel tube

    The surface of the stainless steel pipe will change differently in different environments. Knowing the influence of the use environment on the stainless steel pipe can choose the right model, otherwise the stainless steel pipe will rust and corrode.

    Pretreatment is an important treatment step before the surface of stainless steel pipe enters the surface treatment (including pickling, chemical polishing and electrochemical polishing, electroplating, passivation, blackening, coloring, chemical processing, etc.). During the forming process of stainless steel pipes, the surface may be stained with oil, burrs, and rough surfaces and oxides. Therefore, before surface treatment, the oil, burrs, uneven surfaces and oxides must be removed to enable subsequent processing. Get satisfactory results.

    The dirt on the surface of the stainless steel pipe to be removed in the pretreatment, it can be divided into two categories: organic and inorganic. Organic pollutants: including mineral oils (such as diesel, motor oil, petroleum jelly, paraffin, etc.) and animal and vegetable oils (such as soybean oil, tea oil, rapeseed oil, lard, tallow, etc.). These oil pollution mainly come from the processing of stainless steel pipes. Used lubricants, cutting oils, quenching oils, polishing and polishing pastes, and fingerprints. Inorganic dirt: Including dirt, dust particles, and oxides generated during heat treatment.

    The procedure of stainless steel pipe pretreatment is as follows:

    (1) Mechanical leveling of the surface: Eliminate the rough state of the stainless steel surface, and achieve a certain surface finish after mechanical grinding and polishing.

    (2) Degreasing: degreasing on the surface,

    (3) Pickling: remove the oxide on the surface.

    (4) Weak corrosion: Activate the surface to be treated, remove the surface passivation film, and expose the metal crystal structure.

    The surface pretreatment method of stainless steel pipe is as follows:

    (1) Mechanical method: Use a polisher, polisher or other machinery to remove the rough surface, and then polish and polish it.

    (2) Chemical method: degreasing with alkali solution, acid washing with acid solution and organic solvent to dissolve grease and decontamination.

    (3) Electrochemical method: the application of electrochemical degreasing and electrochemical etching.

    (4) Rolling light, centrifugal light, centrifugal plate light decoration and rotating light decoration, suitable for small parts.

    (5) Sand blasting: suitable for large area treatment, and has the functions of decontamination and oxide scale removal.

    Therefore, according to the different surface conditions, the quality requirements for the subsequent treatment of stainless steel pipes, using appropriate pretreatment methods.

Most anticorrosive steel tubes are spiral steel tubes

    In recent years, anticorrosive steel pipes have begun to be widely used in the construction of water and natural gas pipelines. Anti-corrosion steel pipes are usually selected from spiral steel pipes. The diameter of spiral steel pipes is usually relatively large, which is in line with the current requirements of water pipelines, natural gas pipelines and thermal pipelines.
    1. Compared with the profile steel in the form of ordinary open section, the round pipe and square (rectangular) section have the characteristics of flat surface, no dead angle and small external surface area. Spiral steel pipe is conducive to saving anti-corrosion and fire-resistant coatings, and easy to remove dust.
    a. During the forming process, the steel plate is uniformly deformed, the residual stress is small, and the surface is not scratched. The processed spiral steel pipe has greater flexibility in the size and size range of diameter and wall thickness, especially in the production of high-steel-grade thick-walled pipes, especially small and medium-caliber thick-walled pipes. More requirements for spiral steel pipe specifications.
    b. Adopting advanced double-sided submerged arc welding technology, welding can be achieved in an excellent position, which is not prone to defects such as misalignment, welding deviation, and incomplete penetration, and it is easy to control the quality of welding.
    c. 100% quality inspection of steel pipes makes the whole process of steel pipe production under effective inspection and monitoring, which effectively guarantees product quality.
    d. All the equipment of the entire production line has the function of networking with the computer data acquisition system, real-time data transmission, and the central control room controls the technical parameters in the production process.
    2. The wind resistance coefficient of the steel pipe section is small, and it has significant advantages when exposed to fluids (such as wind and water flow).
    3. The internal space of the steel pipe structure is available. For example, filled concrete steel pipe can not only improve the bearing capacity of the component, but also extend the fire resistance limit of the component; water is injected into the tube, and the internal water circulation can be used for fire prevention.
    4. Liquid can be transported in the pipe. At present, oil pipeline bridges and rainwater drainage pipes have been developed based on this feature.
    5. Prestressing cables can also be placed in the tube to apply prestressing in the body.

Advantages and disadvantages of cold rolled steel pipe

    Hot-rolled seamless pipe is relative to cold-rolled seamless pipe. Cold-rolled seamless pipe is rolled below the recrystallization temperature, and hot-rolled seamless pipe is rolled above the recrystallization temperature.

    Advantages: It can destroy the casting structure of the steel ingot, refine the grains of the steel, and eliminate the defects of the microstructure, thereby making the steel structure dense and improving the mechanical properties. This improvement is mainly reflected in the rolling direction, so that the steel is no longer an isotropic body to a certain extent. Bubbles, cracks and looseness formed during casting can also be welded under high temperature and pressure.

    Disadvantages:

    1. After hot rolling, non-metallic inclusions (mainly sulfides and oxides, as well as silicates) inside the steel are pressed into flakes, and delamination (interlayer) occurs. Delamination greatly deteriorates the tensile properties of the steel in the thickness direction, and interlayer tearing may occur when the weld seam shrinks. The local strain induced by the shrinkage of the weld often reaches several times the yield point strain, which is much larger than the strain caused by the load.

    2. Residual stress caused by uneven cooling. Residual stress is the internal self-phase equilibrium stress without external force. Hot-rolled sections of various sections have this type of residual stress. Generally, the larger the section size of the section, the larger the residual stress. Although the residual stress is self-balanced, it still has a certain effect on the performance of steel members under external forces. For example, it may have adverse effects on deformation, stability, and fatigue resistance.

    3.Hot rolled steel products are difficult to control in terms of thickness and edge width. We are familiar with thermal expansion and contraction. Since hot rolling at the beginning, even if the length and thickness are up to standard,there will still be a certain negative difference after cooling. The wider the negative difference, the thicker the thickness, the more obvious the performance. Therefore, for large steel, the width, thickness, length, angle,and edge of the steel cannot be required to be too precise.

SHS welding technology

    Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a new technology for synthetic materials, and SHS welding is a new application area of the process. SHS welding is a technique that uses the heat generated by the SHS reaction and its products to weld. Combustion synthesis technology is used to place the pressed powder between the materials to be welded, and the high-temperature reaction heat synthesized by powder body combustion and the synthesized product are used as filler materials to achieve the connection between the materials to be welded under pressure. This reaction process is similar to sintering, and the purpose of pressing is to obtain a highly dense welded joint.

    Generally speaking, SHS welding has three processes: ignition, pressurization, and insulation.

    1. There are many ignition methods, such as arc, electric spark, flame, high current, high temperature furnace, electron beam, laser, high temperature radiation and microwave, chemical furnace, etc.

    2. The pressure and time are the keys to the success of welding. If the SHS synthetic material is not pressurized, a large amount of pores will be caused due to the pores of the material and the gas generated during the reaction. Reactants are not allowed to remain in the weld and therefore must be densified. The usual method is to pressurize during the reaction.

    3. High density may not be obtained by simply pressing, and insulation should be performed at the same time.

    Compared with other welding methods, SHS welding has many advantages, mainly:

    1. Due to the exothermic reaction, the material need only be heated to a temperature several hundred degrees Celsius below its melting point, which can save energy.

    2. A reinforcing phase such as reinforcing particles, short fibers, and whiskers can be added to the solder to form a composite material.

    3. Local heat release during SHS welding can reduce the heat-affected zone, avoid damage to the microstructure of the heat-sensitive material, and maintain the material performance.

    4. Welding is a synthesizable gradient material, which is used as a solder to weld special-shaped materials to overcome the mismatch in chemical, mechanical and physical properties between the base materials.

    5. Because the green body can be pressed into any shape, SHS welding is easy to weld into products that are difficult to manufacture.

    6. SHS welding is suitable for surface treatment of materials.

Isothermal annealing process of steel tube heat treatment

    It takes a long time to complete annealing, especially for alloy steels that are relatively cold under austenite. If the austenitized steel is cooled to a temperature slightly lower than the temperature of Ar1, the temperature is changed from A to P and then air-cooled to room temperature, which can greatly shorten the annealing time. This annealing method is called isothermal annealing.

    Process: The steel is heated to a temperature higher than Ac3 (or Ac1), and after being held for a proper time, it is cooled to a certain temperature in the pearlite region quickly, and maintained isothermally, so that the austenite is transformed into pearlite, and then air-cooled to room temperature Heat treatment process.

    Purpose: As with full annealing, the transition is easier to control.

    Suitable for A more stable steel: high carbon steel (wc> 0.6%), alloy tool steel, high alloy steel (total amount of alloy elements> 10%). Isothermal annealing is also beneficial to obtain uniform microstructure and properties. However, it is not suitable for large-section steel parts and large batches of charge, because isothermal annealing is not easy to make the workpiece or batch workpieces reach isothermal temperature.

    Process: The steel is heated to 20 ~ 30 ° C above Ac3, and heated for a period of time (using a furnace) to slowly cool down to obtain a heat treatment process (complete austenitization) close to the equilibrium structure.

    Full annealing is mainly used for hypoeutectoid steel (wc = 0.3 ~ 0.6%), usually used for medium carbon steel and medium and low carbon alloy steel castings, forgings and hot-rolled profiles, and sometimes its welded parts. Low carbon steel has a lower hardness after being fully annealed, which is not conducive to cutting. When the supereutectoid steel is heated above Accm and slowly cooled and annealed, Fe3CII will precipitate in a network shape along the grain boundaries, thereby making the steel strong, hard, and malleable. And the toughness is significantly reduced, leaving a hidden danger to the final heat treatment.

    China Steel Pipe Information Port Investigation Team was informed: Purpose: To refine grains, make the structure uniform, eliminate internal stress, reduce hardness and improve the machinability of steel. The microstructure of the fully annealed hypoeutectoid steel is F + P.

    In actual production, in order to improve productivity, it is air-cooled to cool the annealing to about 500 ° C.

Complete annealing process of steel tube

    Process: Heat steel to 20 ~ 30 ℃ above Ac3, cool slowly after heating for a period of time (with furnace) to obtain a heat treatment process (complete austenitization) close to the equilibrium structure.

    Full annealing is mainly used for hypoeutectoid steel (wc = 0.3 ~ 0.6%), generally medium carbon steel and low and medium carbon alloy steel castings, forgings and hot-rolled profiles, and sometimes also used for their weldments. Low carbon steel has a low hardness after full annealing, which is not conducive to cutting. When the hypereutectoid steel is heated to above Accm and slowly cooled and annealed, Fe3CⅡ will precipitate along the grain boundaries in a network shape, making the steel strong, hard, and plastic. And toughness are significantly reduced, leaving hidden dangers to the final heat treatment.

    Purpose: To refine grains, uniform structure, eliminate internal stress, reduce hardness and improve the machinability of steel. The microstructure of the hypoeutectoid steel after complete annealing is F + P.

    In actual production, in order to improve productivity, annealing cooling to about 500 ° C is air cooling.

Welded steel pipe

    Welded steel pipes, also known as seam steel pipes, are generally welded from steel plates or steel strips. According to the surface treatment of the pipe, it is divided into two types: galvanized and non-galvanized. The galvanized surface is white, also called white iron pipe or galvanized steel pipe; the surface without galvanized is ordinary welded steel pipe, also called black iron pipe. Galvanized welded steel pipes are often used for pipelines that require relatively clean transportation media, such as domestic water, purified air, and instrument air. Non-galvanized welded steel pipes can be used for steam, gas, compressed air, and condensed water.

    According to user requirements, welded steel pipes can be divided into two types at the factory, one is pipe end with thread, and the other is pipe end without thread. The length of each welded steel pipe with thread at the pipe end is 4-9m, and the length of each welded steel pipe without thread is 4-12m.

    Welded steel pipes are divided into thin-walled steel pipes, thickened steel pipes, and ordinary steel pipes according to different wall thicknesses. Ordinary steel pipe is the most used on the process pipeline, and its test pressure is 2.0MPa. The test pressure of the thick steel pipe is 3.0 MPa.

    There are many connection methods for welded steel pipes, including screw connection, flange connection and welding. The flange connection is divided into threaded flange connection and welding flange connection, and the welding method is divided into gas welding and arc welding.

    The specifications of commonly used welded steel pipes range from 6 to 150 mm in nominal diameter.
