The sudden emergence of duplex stainless steel pipe has become one of the major breakthroughs in the stainless steel pipe industry in the past few decades. Duplex stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and high strength, and is the best substitute for traditional stainless steel and structural steel. As the prices of important alloys such as nickel and molybdenum continue to rise, the price-stable duplex stainless steel is gradually favored by users. However, from a technical point of view, a stable price can be considered as an additional incidental advantage given by duplex stainless steel. Low nickel duplex stainless steel LDX2101® (Outokumpu commercial grade, EN1.4162, UNS S32101) has become a rookie in the duplex stainless steel family. LDX2101®’s technical characteristics such as corrosion resistance, weldability and strength are unique, saving resources and low nickel content making it more economically competitive. Duplex stainless steel was born in the late 1920s. The test records kept by the Outokumpu Avista Research Center date back to December 23, 1930. The first generation of duplex stainless steel developed by Avista Iron Works in 1930 is a typical 25Cr-5Ni, without molybdenum or 1.5% Mo. Among them, 453S (25%Cr-5%Ni-1.5%Mo) is the pioneer of AISI 329. The early duplex stainless steel has a high content of sulphur, which is about 60% to 70% in the solid solution state. And the carbon content is as high as 0.1% at the time. Compared with austenitic stainless steel, the main advantage of duplex stainless steel is its high strength and better resistance to intergranular corrosion. Duplex stainless steel can be used in environments where normal austenitic stainless steels are inevitably subjected to stress corrosion cracking. After the invention of the AOD process in the 1970s, the decarburization rate of stainless steel increased and the addition of nitrogen was more precise. This resulted in a modern low-carbon nitrogen-rich duplex duplex stainless steel. Compared to their predecessors, modern duplex stainless steels have improved pitting resistance and weldability. The first steel grade of modern duplex stainless steel is 2205, and its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are significantly higher than 316L and 317L. In many application fields, it fully reflects the better cost performance of 2205, and has built many battles for a long time. Known as Super Duplex Stainless Steel, the 2507 was introduced in the 1980s for the more demanding environments that the 2205 could not meet. Also available in the same period is the 2304 with lower alloy content, but its use is limited. In 2007, the rapid rise in nickel prices caused interest in 2304, and the 2304 with high strength characteristics could replace 316L to meet the requirements of most application environments. Duplex stainless steel is suitable for pressure vessels, scouring and abrading equipment for the paper industry, cargo tanks for chemical tankers, industrial tanks and bridges. At present, the apparent consumption of global duplex stainless steel has doubled in the level of 70,000 tons in 1997. This paper introduces the basic characteristics and research cases of modern duplex stainless steel to illustrate their characteristics in welded pipes, pipe fittings and Application in accessories. Basic characteristics of modern duplex stainless steel 1.1 Mechanical properties High strength is the commonality of duplex steels, which is twice as high as that of ordinary austenitic stainless steels and is significantly higher than that of ferritic stainless steels. The high strength is advantageous for thinning the thickness, thereby reducing the structural weight. The mechanical properties of modern duplex stainless steels are shown in Table 2 in the solution annealed state. The hardness of duplex steels exceeds that of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. This is what most scouring and wear applications require. In terms of stretch forming. Duplex steel is found between high-form austenitic and ferritic steels. Due to poor plasticity, the geometry of ordinary austenitic steels is generally not achieved, and its high yield strength requires an increase in the strength of the forming. 1.2 Corrosion characteristics Existing dual phase steels are resistant to chloride pitting and stress corrosion between 304 and 6 Mo austenitic stainless steels. The PRE value is a simple measure of the local corrosion resistance of steel grades. However, this is basically the same as the alignment of the laboratory CPT (Critical Pitting Temperature) test according to ASTM G150. Duplex stainless steel is much better resistant to chloride stress corrosion than austenitic stainless steel 304 and 316. Laboratory erosion test: The erosion test is carried out in three different liquids, pided into immersion and no immersion, and finally subjected to wear tests. The samples used were identical. In the 24-hour erosion test (test 1) of the double sample, the test materials were all in passivated and the weight defects were completely polished. However, if the test material is first immersed in a high chloride solution (1000 mg/l) for one week and then polished for 5 hours (Test 2 Environment 2), the passivation film may be partially broken, causing pitting and abrasion. In the 1NH2SO4 solution, the test materials were all melted and corroded, and the wear rate was extremely fast during the 5-hour grinding period (Test 3 Environment 3), and the erosion rate was about 1 mm/year (see Figure 2). In a mildly corrosive environment with a chloride content of 200 mg/l (environment 1), the erosion rate of 316L is higher than that of LDX2101® by 24% to 30%. In the environment with a chloride content of 1000 mg/l (environment 2), the erosion rates of the two steel grades differ by 16% to 18%. At the most corrosive (environment 3), the 316L erosion rate is only 6% higher than the LDX 2101®. Laboratory erosion tests have shown that the mechanical strength of the material has a large impact on overall performance because LDX 2101® has the least weight loss in all test environments. Duplex stainless steel is gradually replacing 304 and 316L in the paper industry. The alloy additive nitrogen enhances the pitting resistance while increasing the strength of the duplex stainless steel. In addition, higher temperature components made of duplex stainless steel, such as steam boxes, are also resistant to stress corrosion. 1.3 Physical properties The physical properties of duplex stainless steel and austenitic stainless steel are basically the same, the important difference is the coefficient of thermal expansion (linear expansion), and the duplex stainless steel is lower. In general, a low coefficient of linear expansion is an advantage, especially in a mixture of stainless steel and carbon steel, which reduces the risk of thermal fatigue. Case study 2.1 Process tube design Some chemical plants have high requirements for pipes that transport chemicals and fluids. This is because corrosive substances go from one process to the next. Pipes and components are designed to use standard parts as much as possible. Specifications and inspection standards are based on the European standard (EN-standard, such as: 13480-3) or American standard (ASME/ANSI-standard). The chemical plant design is mainly pided into the following parts: Factory layout Flow chart, including chemical, mechanical and physical processes Pipeline assembly drawing The selection of steel pipes and fittings is often limited by the total purchase price, which is generally determined by the weight and length of the required pipe. Therefore, designers and purchasing managers are keen on new steel grades that are expected to reduce pipeline costs. To reduce the weight, it is necessary to use a thin steel pipe wall, and the benefits are as follows: transportation and installation costs are reduced, and the amount of welding on site is significantly reduced. Lightweight brackets can also save some money. Whether the wall thickness of the pressure tube can be thinned depends on several factors. The ASME standard is more conservative than the EN standard in wall thickness design. However, in both standards, the economical duplex stainless steel LDX2101® has a wall thickness that is 40% thinner than 304L. The actual design thickness should refer to the ASME comparison table. Also consider the design pressure. For pipes with lower pressure, the reduction in wall thickness is smaller. If the wall thickness of the original design is already thin, it cannot be reduced. There are other factors to consider when designing the pipeline. Internal pressure is not the only load to be considered in the piping design. The support spacing should also be appropriate. The support spacing depends on: Bracket type Pipe diameter and wall thickness Medium in the tube Whether insulation is required Whether to absorb shock Taking into account the above factors, changes in the temperature of the surrounding or in-tube medium will create additional loads, which should be considered in material selection or piping design. 2.2 Hollow steel design Stainless steel has been used as a decorative material for buildings. Hollow sections for construction, construction and transportation are often carbon steel. Carbon steel structural design is moving in the direction of high strength steel. This is because the design is more economical when the material strength is fully utilized. Carbon steel is prone to corrosion in many applications and requires thorough corrosion inspection and corrosion protection, including planned and unplanned shutdowns or power outages (water, gas) – for maintenance, maintenance and painting. The related costs required for the maintenance of painted carbon steel are expected to increase in the future. The application of duplex stainless steel in building components has attracted a lot of attention. Duplex stainless steel is the most cost effective in corrosive environments. Compared with 300 series stainless steel, the cost has decreased to varying degrees. Duplex stainless steels have twice the yield strength than 300 series stainless steels. For the same load, thinner duplex stainless steels can be used. Duplex stainless steel is also cheaper to make than other materials because it is easy to machine and weld. The ferrite phase improves the weldability of duplex stainless steels compared to high nickel alloys. This alone saves a lot of soldering time. Using high-speed steel cutting tools, the economical duplex stainless steel LDX 2101® is machined similarly to 316 stainless steel or easier. Moreover, the labor required for duplex stainless steel machining is also less than that of high nickel alloys. The structural parts can be designed according to the European standard EN1993-1-4:2006. The basis for structural design in EN 1993-1-4 is the limit state analysis. The limit values used are the maximum limit state and the usability limit state. The maximum limit state means that once this limit is exceeded, the component or the entire structure collapses. The usability limit state indicates that if the limit is exceeded, the specified use criteria cannot be achieved. The design specifications specified in the EN 1993-1-4 standard apply to solution annealed materials with yield strength fy = 480 N/mm2 and cold worked materials with strength classes C700 and CP350. According to the Euro-InoxDesign Manual, after cold working, the austenitic stainless steel has improved yield strength and tensile strength and can be used as the basic material for the strength class CP500. According to the European-Stainless Steel Design Manual, the design strength of the members subjected to the axial force and the members subjected to the axial force + bending force is equal to 0.2% proof strength, and the material temperature is also considered. When the ignition temperature is reached, stainless steel performs differently than other metals, and it can maintain its mechanical properties (mainly elastic modulus and yield strength) at a temperature of 30 minutes in a standard fire. The stability of the yield strength of stainless steel depends on the alloy composition of the material, ie the stainless steel grade selected. The structural design of stainless steel is not more complicated than carbon steel. The thermal expansion coefficient of duplex stainless steel is the same as that of carbon steel, which is much lower than that of austenitic stainless steel. The fatigue strength of welded joints is as good as that of carbon steel joints. Their structural strength is better than standard austenite, and the bearing capacity of the members is greater. Cold working can increase the strength value of stainless steel hollow profiles. Cold working refers to the flattening of strips for the production of hollow sections, such as hardened cold rolling, which can be carried out in a pipe mill or in a steel mill. The mechanical properties of the entire batch of hollow tubes are to be recorded in the inspection report. In the vertical load support, the use of high-strength hollow profiles serves as a load-bearing function and can beautify the building. It is an economical and practical solution. 2.3 Water heater This is an aluminum heat exchanger with an external stainless steel tube. The principle is to let the heated gas flow through the aluminum heat exchanger, and the gas is added to the water around the heat exchanger. In order to prevent corrosion of the aluminum heat exchanger, the outer surface of the aluminum core is sealed with a cold drawn stainless steel tube. Users have been using 316 titanium stainless steel early on, and the weight has been reduced by 30% with LDX2101®. Duplex stainless steel with low nickel and molybdenum content allows users to save a large amount of alloy and the material price is relatively stable. Duplex steel is generally better at stress corrosion cracking than 316 stainless steel. The performance of stainless steel varies from series to series, and changes from austenitic or ferritic series to duplex steels place new demands on production equipment and processes. Duplex steel has a high yield strength and requires more force during forming. When the thickness of the pipe wall is thinned by the high strength characteristic, the influence of the increased forming force is not sufficiently taken care of. The resilience of duplex steel is significantly higher than that of other stainless steel series. When the duplex stainless steel is welded by the automatic TIG method, the traveling speed of the torch is slower than that of the welded austenitic stainless steel, but the duplex stainless steel is easier to weld than the ferritic stainless steel. 2205 and other duplex steels are commonly used in heat exchanger tubes and enclosures. In heat exchanger applications, the coefficient of thermal expansion of duplex steels is generally lower than that of austenitic stainless steels. 2.4 Mine An example of this application is the drain pipe at the Boliden mine in northern Sweden. The water in the mine is taken from the underground 450 meters. Pipe diameter DN600, pressure between 45 and 200 meters underground 45 bar, 200 meters to ground 32 bar. The pipeline is 1200 meters long. However, the applicable temperature range of duplex steel is -40 to 300 °C, which cannot completely replace austenitic stainless steel. If the most commonly used 304L is compared with the LDX 2101®, the welding factor is 0.7 according to the EN standard. For a pressure of 45 bar, the wall thickness of the 304L tube is 13.4 mm, and the wall thickness of the LDX 2101® tube should be 7.2 mm. The section with a pressure of 32 bar has wall thicknesses of 9.6 mm and 5.1 mm, respectively. When the design pressure is 45 bar, the closest standard specifications are 14 mm and 10 mm, and the design pressure is 32 bar. The standard specifications are 8 mm and 6 mm, respectively. With 304L, the pipe weighs 196 tons and the LDX 2101® weighs 113 tons. This can reduce the use of 83 tons of stainless steel, saving 42.5%. In addition to the direct benefits of saving tubing, there are many aspects that are indirectly beneficial. The length of the weld of 230 ring seams is 437 meters, the welding of 304L steel pipes takes about 2100 hours, and the welding of LDX 2101® takes only 1325 hours because of its The tube wall is thin. Save 775 hours and shorten on-site work time. The weight reduction of the steel pipe can save energy required during the hoisting process, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. The freight rate from the production plant to the site is also reduced. The distance between the two places in the project is 1500km, electric train transportation, CO2 emission reduction 125kg. If transported by truck, CO2 emissions will be 75 times higher. Due to the low amount of LDX2101®, steelmaking emits less CO2 than 304L. Cut costs Pipe weight reduction Reduce welding labor costs Saving welding consumables Steel pipe lifting energy saving Transportation energy saving Reduce CO2 emissions (smelting, lifting, etc.) Considering raw material costs and exchange rates, the total savings are between $300,000 and $500,000. Duplex stainless steel welded pipes not only replace austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, but also other metals such as anti-corrosive carbon steel and aluminum, and even polymers. Application examples cover a wide range of areas: construction, mine drainage and domestic water heaters. Global economic development places higher demands on energy and transportation. More families need modern home facilities, such as home hot water centers, and this demand will continue to rise in the future. 2205 is one of the grades of duplex stainless steel series. The corrosion resistance of this series of steels is strong and weak. Duplex stainless steel is gradually being accepted. In applications where the 316L is unsatisfactory, more and more users are choosing duplex stainless steel because it is suitable for a wider range of corrosive environments. Due to the light weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel, the application items are increasing. It cannot be ignored that the high nickel price in 2006-2007 has increased the status of duplex stainless steel, and the increase in sales of duplex stainless steel includes the replacement of austenitic stainless steel for purely price reasons. The comprehensive performance of duplex stainless steel is perfectly suited for many existing and newly developed applications. In terms of corrosion resistance, the grade of duplex stainless steel is more complete than a decade ago. It is certain that duplex stainless steel will continue to grow in the past decade.

The stamping reducer is a reducer produced by a stamping process. The reducer has the advantages of stable structure, fast forming, high hardness, high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and high temperature resistance. The size of the reducer is classified into: stainless steel reducer, alloy steel reducer, carbon steel reducer. Reducer, 10# reducer, 20G carbon steel reducer, Control caliber: DIN standard (DN10-DN150), 3A/IDF standard (1/2″-6″), ISO standard (Ф12.7-Ф152.4). International industry standards: DIN, ISO, SMS, 3A, IDF and so on. Product materials: stainless steel 304, 316, 316L. Quality and use: the inside and outside of the reducer with a polishing equipment to achieve surface precision requirements, this product is suitable for dairy, food, beer, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and other industrial fields. External processing: can be based on user requirements to map, sample processing non-standard products. Connection: clamp (quick) type, welded, thread (live) type. Stamping reducer classification Stamping eccentric reducer: Refers to the size of the reducer produced by the stamping process that is not on the same straight line. The function of the stamping eccentric reducer is to connect two pipes with different nominal diameters and allow the pipe to be docked at different angles. Because the stamping eccentric reducer is formed by stamping process, it has the advantages of high production efficiency, stable product structure, high product quality, low production cost, and mass production. This process can be used to produce various pipe fittings, such as Elbows, tees, flanges, etc. Materials that can be used to produce stamping eccentric reducers include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, pure aluminum, etc. Different materials have different characteristics and can be used in different piping systems. Stamping eccentric reducers can be pided into national standard, electric standard, ship standard, chemical standard, water standard, American standard, German standard, Japanese standard, Russian standard and so on. Stamping eccentric reducers are widely used in oil, natural gas, tap water, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, chemical, paper and other industries. Stamping concentric reducers: The reducer of the center on the same line is called the concentric reducer. Basic process of stamping size forming technology The reducer is a type of pipe used for pipe diameter reduction. The forming process usually adopted is a reduction press, a diameter expansion press, or a reduction and diameter expansion press. For some sizes of the reducer, press forming can also be used. The size of the reducer is characterized by a carbon steel having a strength significantly higher than that of the same carbon, which has good toughness and plasticity as well as good weldability and corrosion resistance. The reduction forming process of the large and small reducers is to put a tube blank having the same diameter as the large end of the large and small reducers into a forming mold, and to move the metal along the cavity and shrink and form by pressing in the axial direction of the tube blank. According to the size of the size reduction reducer, it is pided into one press forming or multiple press forming. The expanded diameter forming adopts a tube blank smaller than the diameter of the large end of the different diameter tube, and is formed by expanding the inner diameter of the tube blank by the inner die. The diameter expansion process mainly solves the problem that the large and small diameter reducers are not easily formed by the diameter reduction, and sometimes the method of expanding the diameter and reducing the diameter is combined according to the material and product forming requirements. In the process of reducing or expanding the deformation and deformation, it is determined that cold pressing or hot pressing is adopted according to different materials and the diameter reduction conditions. Cold pressing is used as much as possible, but in the case of severe work hardening caused by multiple reductions, thick wall thickness or alloy steel material, hot pressing is recommended. In addition to the use of steel pipes as raw materials for the production of different diameter pipes, the partial diameter of the different diameter pipes can also be produced by the stamping forming process. Need to pay attention when stamping the size of the reducer There are many places to pay attention to when stamping the reducer, because some places can directly affect the quality of the welding. If the welding is not good, not only the size of the reducer but also the damage to the pipeline, so the scientific and reasonable welding is the top. The choice. After the stamping reducer is welded, the hardening property is large, and cracks are easily generated. If the same type of stamping reducer welding is used, it is necessary to perform preheating at 300 °C or more and slow cooling at around 700 °C after welding. If the weldment cannot be post-weld heat treated. A stamping reducer electrode should be used. In order to prevent the stamping reducer from being attacked by the eye due to heating, the welding current should not be too large, about 20% less than the carbon steel electrode, the arc should not be too long, and the layer is fast cold, and the narrow bead is suitable.

The position of the fixed side support should facilitate the flexible calculation of the pipe. 7. What are the requirements for the orientation of the horizontal container? What are the requirements for the orientation of the horizontal container? (1) The liquid inlet and outlet spacing on the equipment housing should be as far as possible. The liquid inlet pipe should be as far as possible from the container level gauge interface; (2) The level gauge interface should be placed in a position that is easy for the operator to observe and convenient.

The valve on the pipeline is also required to be directly connected to the opening; this avoids fluid accumulation. When the horizontal container equipment is arranged, the tank is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pipe gallery, so that the pipes such as the gas outlet pipe, the safety valve outlet pipe, the liquid outlet pipe, etc. are all oriented toward the pipe gallery and related to the pipe gallery; connection. The pipe that is open at the top of the vessel should have an elevation higher than the main pipe that meets the pipe gallery to facilitate access to the top of the main pipe. When the liquid outlet pipe at the bottom of the vessel is connected to the pump under the pipe, the bottom elevation of the pipe should not affect the passage of people. (1) For the pipe connecting the liquid outlet of the horizontal container to the pump suction port, the minimum clearance height is 2200mrn if the pipe is overhead on the channel; (2) The pipe connected to the bottom nozzle of the horizontal container, the low discharge point of the low point is 150mm from the floor; (3) When the outlet of the safety valve is discharged into the closed pipe system, the liquid should be avoided, and the outlet pipe of the safety valve should be connected to the top of the closed main pipe at a 45° downward flow direction, and there is no “pocket shape”. If the safety valve is installed away from the container, check the pressure drop from the container to the safety valve inlet pipe; (4) The regulating valve group of the tank top pipe is arranged on the platform; (5) The platform should be set according to the equipment and piping layout. 9.

If the diameters of the riser pipes are different and the arrangement is asymmetrical, the resistance of the two pipe sections should be made equal. Otherwise, the flow rate of the pipe with a large resistance will cause uneven heat distribution; (3) The liquid drawn from the reboiler is a saturated liquid. If the piping system produces a pressure drop, the liquid will begin to flash, resulting in a gas-liquid two-phase fluid flow, affecting the operation and accuracy of the control and measuring instruments. Therefore, when arranging a saturated liquid pipe, the basic principle is to minimize the pressure drop and not to have a vertical rise pipe section before measuring or controlling the meter; (4) Reboiler tube The inlet pipe of the heating medium is usually equipped with a temperature regulating valve and a valve block thereof, and these valves are generally arranged on the ground or platform surface near the inlet of the reboiler tube. 15.

What kinds of protection lines are there for the pump? what is the function? There are 6 kinds of protection lines for the pump, which are used to protect the pump body from damage and normal operation, and set the protection pipeline of the pump according to the conditions of use. (1) Warm pump line——When the temperature of the medium is higher than 200 °C, when there is a spare pump, the DN20～25 warm pump line should be set; (2) Small flow line——When the working flow of the pump is lower than 30% of the rated flow of the pump, the small flow line of the pump running normally at the lowest flow rate should be set; (3) Balance line—for conveying a liquid with a saturated vapor pressure higher than atmospheric pressure at normal temperature or a liquid in a bubble state, in order to prevent steam from entering the pump liquid or air bubbles entering the pump, the cavitation should be balanced; (4) Bypass line – When the pump is used for trial operation or when the outlet main valve is closed under abnormal operating conditions, the pump can still be operated. Generally, a bypass valve with a limited flow hole is provided in a case where the pressure difference between the valve and the front is very high; (5) Anti-coagulation line – When conveying liquid with high pour point or high freezing point solidified at normal temperature, the backup pump and pipeline should be equipped with anti-condensation line to avoid plugging of spare pump and pipeline; (6) Safety valve line——For the volumetric pumps such as electric reciprocating pump, gear pump and screw cylinder, the safety valve line is set on the outlet side.

There are more and more kinds of stainless steel flanges in the production process, for different kinds of flanges, installation methods are also different, then for everyone to introduce the correct installation sequence of stainless steel flanges. The stainless steel pipe or stainless steel pipe fittings contaminated before the stainless steel flange connection should be cleaned up. Stainless steel flanges are connected with a flange with grooved rings respectively. Flanging the ends of two pipes at 90 degrees. The flanged ends should be grinded in a flat and vertical manner without burrs, concave-convex or deformation, and the nozzles should be rounded with special tools. It can also be welded on the pipe with finished flanging short pipe. Insert the stainless steel sealing ring with O-ring on both sides into the flange with groove ring. The inner hole diameter of the stainless steel sealing ring is the same as the inner diameter of the pipe, and both are concentric circles. Connect the flange hole with bolts and connect the bolt assembly symmetrically. During the tightening process, the flanging planes of the two tubes are pushed along the axial direction, and the O-rings on both sides are uniformly compressed in a rigid contact and flexible sealing state, so that the joint is sealed.

1 Industrial pipeline on-line inspection, what parts should be focused on inspection? (1) the outlet of the compressor and pump; (2) compensator, tee, elbow (elbow), size head, branch pipe connection and dead angle of medium flow, etc. (3) pipe components and welded joints near the damaged parts of the hanger. (4) there have been problems affecting the safe operation of pipelines. (5) the pipe section in the key part of the production process and the pipe section connected with the important device or equipment; (6) pipe sections with harsh working conditions or subjected to alternating loads. 2 Why piping stress analysis? What does it contain? What are the purposes of various analyses? Ensure the safety of the pipeline itself. Ensure the safety of connected equipment; Ensure the safety of civil structures. It mainly includes static analysis and dynamic analysis. Static analysis includes: The first stress calculation of pipes under pressure, gravity and other loads – to prevent plastic deformation and failure; Secondary stress calculation under thermal expansion, cold contraction and additional displacement at the end point to prevent fatigue failure. The calculation of the force acting on the machine and equipment by the pipeline – preventing the excessive force and ensuring the normal operation of the machine and equipment; The force calculation of pipe supports and hangers provides the basis for the design of supports and hangers. The force calculation of flange on pipeline to prevent flange leakage; Piping displacement calculation to prevent pipeline collision and excessive displacement of supporting points. The dynamic analysis includes: Natural frequency analysis of gas (liquid) column in reciprocating compressor (pump) pipeline – preventing gas (liquid) column resonance; Pressure pulsation analysis of reciprocating compressor (pump) piping – control pressure fluctuation value; Analysis of natural frequencies of pipelines to prevent piping system resonance; Pipeline seismic analysis to prevent excessive seismic stress of pipelines. Stress analysis of pipelines under impact loading – to prevent pipe vibration and stress. 3 What is a primary stress? The two stress? What loads are generated by them? What are the characteristics of these two stresses? The primary stress is the stress generated by the interaction of pressure and gravity with other external loads. It is the stress required to balance external loads and increases with the increase of external loads. Characteristics: there is no self limiting nature. Secondary stress is caused by the constraints of pipeline deformation. It is caused by the thermal expansion, cold contraction and end displacement of pipeline. It is necessary to meet the continuous requirements of constraints or the deformation of the pipeline itself. Characteristics: self limiting. 4 What is pipeline flexibility? How to design flexible pipes? It is a concept that reflects the degree of difficulty of pipeline deformation, indicating the ability of pipeline to absorb heat account, cold shrinkage and other displacement deformation through its own deformation. In design, it is necessary to ensure that the pipeline is flexible enough to absorb displacement and strain, so that the length of the pipeline is as short as possible or the investment is as small as possible. Generally, the following methods are used to increase the flexibility of pipes: Change the direction of the pipeline; Waveform compensator; Choose spring hangers. 5 What is the purpose of flexible piping design? Ensure that the pipeline is flexible enough under the design conditions to prevent the following problems caused by cold shrinkage of heat account, additional displacement of end point, improper installation of pipeline support, etc. Pipeline failure caused by excessive stress or metal fatigue. Leakage occurs at piping connections. Excessive pipe thrust or torque will cause excessive stress and deformation of the equipment connected with the pipeline and affect the normal operation of the equipment. Piping failure is caused by excessive pipe thrust or moment. 6 Generally speaking, which point of stress on the pipe is larger? Why? Generally speaking, the stress on the three way and elbow pipe is larger. Because, compared with straight pipe, the stress increasing coefficient of the three way and elbow pipe is larger. 7 What displacement can the fixed bracket, the guide bracket and the supporting bracket limit? There are three functions of pipe hangers. The weight load of the pipeline (including self weight, medium weight, etc.); Limit the displacement of the pipeline to prevent unexpected displacement of the pipeline. Control vibration to control swing, vibration or impact. Fixed frame: limiting the linear displacement in three directions and the angular displacement in three directions; Guide frame: the displacement in two directions is limited. The bracket (or one-way thrust frame) restricts the linear displacement in one direction. 8 What problems should we pay attention to when designing vibrating pipe supports? The bracket should use anti vibration pipe card, not simply supported. The distance between supports should be determined by vibration analysis. The structure of scaffolds and the rooting parts of scaffolds should have enough stiffness. It is advisable to set up an independent foundation so as to avoid rooting in the beams and columns of the workshop. When the temperature of the medium is high and the thermal expansion occurs, the flexibility requirement should be satisfied. Support should be set along the ground.

DN DN refers to the nominal diameter of the pipe. Note: This is neither the outer diameter nor the inner diameter; it should be related to the imperial unit in the initial development of the pipeline engineering; it is usually used to describe the galvanized steel pipe. Its correspondence with the imperial units is as follows: 1 1/4 inch tube: 1 1/4 inch: DN32; 1/2 Inch tube: 1 1/2 inch: DN40; 2 inch tube: 2 inches: DN50; 3 inch tube: 3 inches: DN80 (also marked DN75 in many places); 4 inch tube: 4 inches: DN100; De De mainly refers to the outer diameter of the pipe, generally marked with De, and needs to be marked as the outer diameter X wall thickness; mainly used for description: seamless steel pipe, PVC and other plastic pipes, and other pipes requiring a clear wall thickness. Take galvanized welded steel pipe as an example. The two methods of marking with DN and De are as follows: DN20 De25×2.5mm DN25 De32×3mm DN32 De40×4mm DN40 De50×4mm We are accustomed to using DN to label welded steel pipes. It is rarely used to mark pipes without involving wall thickness; however, labeling plastic pipes is another matter; it is related to industry habits, during actual construction. The pipes we call 20, 25, and 32, etc., refer to De, not to DN. There is a difference between them. It is easy to cause losses in the procurement and construction process without knowing it. The connection of the two pipe materials is nothing more than: threaded connection and flange connection. Other connections are used sparingly. Both the galvanized steel pipe and the PPR pipe can be connected by the above two types, but the pipe thread of less than 50 is more convenient, and the flange of more than 50 is relatively reliable. Note: If the metal pipes of two different materials are connected, it is necessary to consider whether the primary battery reaction will occur, otherwise the corrosion speed of the active metal material pipe will be accelerated. It is best to use flange connection and use rubber gasket type insulation material to The metal is separated, including the bolts are separated by a gasket to avoid contact. The respective ranges of De, DN, d, and ф! De– PPR, PE pipe, polypropylene pipe Outer diameter DN– Polyethylene (PVC) pipe, cast iron pipe, steel-plastic composite pipe, galvanized steel pipe nominal diameter a D– Nominal diameter of concrete pipe ф– Nominal diameter of seamless steel pipe, its specification is, for example, ф100:108 × 4 DN15-ф22mm, DN20-ф27mm, DN25-ф34mm, DN32-ф42mm, DN40-ф48mm, DN50-ф60mm, DN65-ф76 (73) mm, DN80-ф89mm, DN100-ф114mm, DN125-ф140mm, DN150-ф168mm, DN200-ф219mm, DN250-ф273mm, DN300-ф324mm, DN350-ф360mm, DN400-ф406mm, DN450-ф457mm, DN500-ф508mm, DN600-ф610mm, DN15-ф18mm, DN20-ф25mm, DN25-ф32mm, DN32-ф38mm, DN40-ф45mm, DN50-ф57mm, DN65-ф73mm, DN80-ф89mm, DN100-ф108mm, DN125-ф133mm, DN150-ф159mm, DN200-ф219mm, DN250-ф273mm, DN300-ф325mm, DN350-ф377mm, DN400-ф426mm, DN450-ф480mm, DN500-ф530mm, DN600-ф630mm.

In engineering design, the pressure level of the nozzle flange of the container is usually given by the professional of the process system. The following factors should be considered when selecting the pressure rating of the takeover flange. 1 Design pressure and design temperature of the container; 2 Connection standards of valves directly connected to them, valves, fittings, temperature, pressure and liquid level. 3 The influence of thermal stress of process piping (especially high temperature and heat pipe) on the flange of nozzle. 4 Characteristics of process and operation medium: For vessels operated in vacuum, the pressure level of nozzle flange should not be less than 0.6 MPa when the vacuum degree is less than 79.980 kPa (600 mmHg), and for vessels operated in vacuum from 9.980 kPa to 101.175 kPa (600-759 mmHg), the pressure level of nozzle flange should not be less than 1.0 MPa. For explosive or toxic medium, the pressure level of pipe flange should not be less than 1.0 MPa; for toxic medium of high and extreme harm or strong permeability, the pressure level of nozzle flange should not be less than 1.6 MPa. 5 The flange with neck butt welded pipe should be used as far as height, extreme hazardous medium and three types of containers should be adopted.

Factors affecting gasket and packing seal (1) Surface condition of sealing surface: the shape and surface roughness of sealing surface have certain influence on sealing performance, and smooth surface is beneficial to sealing. The soft gasket is insensitive to the surface condition because of its easy deformation, while the hard gasket is greatly affected by the surface condition. (2) Contact width of sealing surface: the larger the contact width between sealing surface and gasket or filler, the longer the path of fluid leakage, the greater the loss of flow resistance, thus conducive to sealing. But under the same compression force, the larger the contact width, the lower the sealing pressure. Therefore, the appropriate contact width should be sought according to the material quality of the seals. (3) Properties of the fluid: The viscosity of the liquid has a great influence on the sealing of the packing and gasket. The fluid with high viscosity is easy to seal because of its poor fluidity. The viscosity of the liquid is much larger than that of the gas, so the liquid is easier to seal than the gas. Saturated vapor is easier to seal than superheated vapor because it will condensate droplets and block the passage between the sealing surfaces. The larger the molecular volume of the fluid is, the easier it is to be blocked by a narrow sealing gap, which is easy to seal. The wettability of liquid to seal material also has a certain effect on sealing. The liquid which is easy to soak is easy to produce leakage due to the capillary action of the micro-pores in the gasket and filler. (4) the temperature of the fluid: the temperature affects the viscosity of the liquid, thereby affecting the sealing performance. When the temperature increases, the viscosity of the liquid decreases and the viscosity of the gas increases. On the other hand, temperature changes often deform the seal assembly and cause leakage easily. Material of gaskets and fillers: Soft materials are prone to elastic or plastic deformation under preloading force, thus blocking the passage of fluid leakage, thus conducive to sealing; but soft materials generally can not withstand the role of high-pressure fluid. The corrosion resistance, heat resistance, compactness and hydrophilicity of sealing materials have certain effects on sealing. Specific pressure of sealing surface: The normal force acting on the unit contact surface between sealing surface is called the sealing specific pressure. The sealing surface specific pressure is an important factor affecting the sealing performance of gaskets or packing. Usually, by applying pre-tightening force on the sealing surface to produce a certain specific pressure, so that the deformation of the seal to reduce or eliminate the gap between the sealing contact surfaces, to prevent the flow through, to achieve the purpose of sealing. It should be pointed out that the effect of fluid pressure will change the relative pressure of the sealing surface. Although the increase of specific pressure of sealing surface is beneficial to sealing, it is limited by the extrusion strength of sealing material. For dynamic sealing, the increase of specific pressure of sealing surface will also cause the corresponding increase of friction resistance. Influence of external conditions: vibration of pipeline system, deformation of connecting components, offset of installation position and other reasons will produce additional force on the seal, thus causing adverse effects on the seal. Especially, vibration will cause periodic changes in the pressure between the sealing surfaces, so that the connection bolt relaxation, resulting in seal failure. The cause of vibration may be external or possibly caused by fluid flow inside the system. In order to make the seal reliable, the above factors must be carefully considered, and the manufacture and selection of gaskets and fillers are very important.

Screw is the most common type of fixing device in daily life. Usually it is used for fastening. Of course, it is hoped that it will be tightened, but it also adds some trouble to the subsequent maintenance technicians. When the screw is severely rusted, it is difficult to use a wrench to screw it down. For this reason, the workers will use various methods such as knocking, dripping, burning, punching, welding, foaming, and the like. First of all, let’s talk to you about several commonly used methods: Method one: knock Severely rusted screws should not be hardened with a wrench to prevent them from slipping and cornering, twisting the screws or screwing the wrench. At this point, you can tap the handle of the wrench with a hammer, and the rusted screws will often loosen to unscrew. Method two: drop If the screw is not severely rusted, you can try to drip first. If you can’t open it, you can drop a little oil or vegetable oil along the gap between the screw and the nut. With wire cutters and wrenches, you can easily unscrew it. (The oil does not work for rusted screws and will affect disassembly) Method three: burn Some screws are severely rusted and can be fire attacked. step: (1) Fully grill the screws and nuts with a gas welding flame. (2) Then apply oil or sewing machine oil to the red-hot screw. (3) The screw is heated and expanded, and the rust between the screw and the nut is squeezed to increase the gap. After the oil drops, the screw shrinks rapidly and cools, and the gap between the screw and the nut is further increased. After the oil flows in, the screw can be unscrewed. Note that this method should be used with caution for screws with plastic parts nearby, and the screws that have been burned should not be reused. Method four: rush Some of the tops of the screws are deformed by a word or cross, which cannot be removed with a screwdriver, a wrench or a wire cutter. The impact method can be used. step: (1) First, use a hammer and a flat-blade screwdriver to impact a V-shaped groove on the vertical surface of the top of the screw; (2) Then adjust the angle of the flat-blade screwdriver to impact in the direction in which the thread is unscrewed; (3) After the screw is loosened, the screw can be screwed out with a wire cutter. Recommended for everyone is a very practical method – induction heating This method is simple to operate and is suitable for the disassembly or installation of various metal parts, such as drive parts, bearings, housings, gears, bolts, nuts, pipe fittings and small parts. It is versatile and suitable for use in confined spaces. Moreover, the local heating can be accurately performed, so that the area outside the heated workpiece still retains the original temperature; and the heated workpiece is expanded and loosened, which is convenient for disassembly or installation. Especially for bolts and nuts, this is the most ideal solution. When bolts and nuts are stuck, the traditional method is nothing more than cutting or gun heating. However, whether it is cutting or gun heating, the resulting open flame or spark is likely to cause greater danger or damage to other parts, or local area pollution, and this inductive heating is not only faster, but also safer. And it will not cause any pollution. Source: China Stainless Steel Fasteners Manufacturer – wilsonpipeline Pipe Industry Co., Limited (www.wilsonpipeline.com)

Stainless steel pipe fittings are one kind of pipe fittings. They are made of stainless steel, so they are called stainless steel pipe fittings. They include: stainless steel elbows, stainless steel tees, stainless steel crosses, stainless steel reducers, stainless steel caps, etc., according to the coupling method. It is pided into four types: socket type stainless steel pipe fittings, threaded stainless steel pipe fittings, flanged stainless steel pipe fittings and welded stainless steel pipe fittings. The stainless steel elbow is used for the turning of the pipe; the flange is used to connect the pipe to the pipe, the pipe is connected to the pipe end, the stainless steel tee is used for the collection of the three pipes; the stainless steel pipe is used for the collection of the four pipes. Place; stainless steel reducer for the connection of two pipes of different pipe diameters. Main stainless steel: 304, 304L, 316|, 316L. Stainless steel pipe fittings offer 1. At present, there are mainly stainless steel pipes of 304, 201, and 301 materials on the market. Different materials have different performances. The difference between different materials is mainly reflected in the amount of nickel and chromium. The 304 stainless steel tube contains 18 chrome and 8-9 nickel. The other two materials, 201 and 301, have a chromium and nickel content of 14, 16 and 1, respectively. The higher the nickel and chromium content, the better the performance. 2. 316 stainless steel plate surface is smooth, with high plasticity, toughness and mechanical strength, acid, alkaline gas, solution and other media corrosion. It is an alloy steel that does not rust easily, but it does not rust. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel mainly depends on its alloy composition (chromium, nickel, titanium, silicon, aluminum, etc.) and the internal structure, and the main role is chromium. Chromium has high chemical stability and can form a passivation film on the steel surface to isolate the metal from the outside, protect the steel plate from oxidation, and increase the corrosion resistance of the steel plate. After the passivation film is destroyed, the corrosion resistance is lowered. The price is 100-120 yuan, 3. 200 stainless steel pipe price quotes, also need to look at the specifications and wall thickness. So not the same requirements, not the same price quote. Wenzhou Rongrui stainless steel price is reasonable. 4. In terms of price, stainless steel pipes are generally determined by weight. In the market, they are generally more than ten yuan a kilogram. However, for some industrial purposes, large quantities of pipes are required, usually in tons. unit of measurement. Stainless steel pipe fittings 1 Corrosion resistance Most stainless steel products require good corrosion resistance. Some foreign merchants also carry out corrosion resistance test on products: use NACL aqueous solution to warm to boiling, after a period of time, pour off the solution, wash and dry, weigh the weight loss, to determine the Degree of corrosion (Note: When the product is polished, the content of Fe in the abrasive cloth or sandpaper will cause rust on the surface during the test) 2. Weldability The requirements for welding performance vary from product to product. A type of tableware generally does not require welding performance, and even includes some pot enterprises. However, most products require good welding performance of raw materials, such as second-class tableware, thermos cups, steel pipes, water heaters, water dispensers, etc. 3, polishing performance (BQ) At present, stainless steel products are generally polished during the production process, and only a few products such as water heaters, water dispenser liners, etc. do not need to be polished. Therefore, this requires a good polishing performance of the raw material. Summary of standards, quotations, characteristics, etc. of stainless steel pipe fittings Stainless steel pipe welding technology and requirements For manual arc welding, the welding machine adopts DC reverse connection, and the argon arc welding adopts DC positive connection; Before welding, the wire should be brushed off with stainless steel wire brush and washed with acetone; the electrode should be dried at 200-250 °C for 1 h, with the use; Clean the oil stains within 25 mm on both sides of the groove of the workpiece before welding, and wash the sides of the groove with acetone for 25 mm; When argon arc welding, the nozzle diameter is Φ2 mm, tungsten is extremely 钵 tungsten, the specification is Φ2.5 mm; 5 argon arc welding stainless steel, the back must be filled with argon gas protection to ensure the back forming. The method of partially filling argon in the pipeline has a flow rate of 5-14 L/min and a front argon flow rate of 12-13 L/min. Welding precautions for stainless steel pipe fittings In order to prevent the erosion between the eyes due to heating, the welding current should not be too large, 20% less than the carbon steel electrode, the arc should not be too long, the layer is fast cold, and the narrow weld bead is suitable. The hardening property of stainless steel pipe fittings is relatively good after welding, which is convenient for cracks. If it is welded with a typical stainless steel pipe fitting, it is necessary to perform preheating above 300 °C and slow cooling at 700 °C after welding. If the weldment cannot be subjected to post-weld heat treatment, a stainless steel pipe electrode should be used. Stainless steel pipe fittings, in order to improve the corrosion resistance and weldability, appropriately add the appropriate amount of invariable elements Ti, Nb, Mo, etc., the weldability is better than the stainless steel pipe fittings. When accepting the same chrome stainless steel electrode, it should be preheated above 200 °C and tempered at 800 °C after welding. If the weldment cannot be heat treated, a chrome-nickel stainless steel electrode should be used. Stainless steel pipe electrode has fine corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, commonly used in chemical, fertilizer, petroleum, medical machinery manufacturing. Stainless steel pipe fittings have titanium calcium type and low hydrogen type. Titanium-calcium type can be used for AC and DC, but the AC penetration is shallower and the redness is convenient. Therefore, the DC power supply is accepted as a whole. Stainless steel pipe fittings have certain corrosion resistance (oxidizing acid, organic acid, cavitation), heat resistance and wear resistance. All used in power stations, chemicals, oil and other equipment and equipment. Stainless steel pipe fittings have poor weldability. Care should be taken to select the appropriate welding electrode before welding and heat treatment. The electrode should be dry when it is operated. The titanium calcium type should be dried at 150 °C for 1 hour. The low hydrogen type should be dried at 200-250 °C for 1 hour (can not be dried repeatedly, otherwise the coating is easy to crack and peel off), and the electrode is protected. The viscous oil and other dirt are not allowed to cause the weld to increase the carbon content and affect the quality of the weldment. When welding stainless steel pipe fittings, it is repeatedly heated to precipitate carbides, which reduces corrosion resistance and mechanical performance. Formula for calculating the weight of stainless steel pipe fittings 1. Stainless steel round tube: (outer diameter – thickness) * thickness * tube length * 0.02491, the theoretical weight of the example 6 m 51 round tube 0.9 solid thickness is (51-0.9) * 0.9 * 6 * 0.02491 = 6.74; 2. Stainless steel square tube: (outer diameter * 4 / 3.14 – thickness) * thickness * tube length * 0.02491, the theoretical weight of the example 6 m 25 square tube 0.9 real thickness is (25 * 4 / 3.14 – 0.9) * 0.9 * 6 *0.02491=4.16; 3. Stainless steel rectangular tube: [(length + width) * 2 / 3.14 – thickness] * thickness * tube length * 0.02491, the theoretical weight of the example 6 m 30 * 10 square tube 0.9 solid thickness is [(30 + 10) * 2 /3.14-0.9]*0.9*6*0.02491=3.31; 4. In the formula, the unit of outer diameter and wall thickness is millimeter (mm), the unit of tube length is meter (m), and the calculated weight unit is kilogram (kg). Common problems with stainless steel fittings There are mainly the following, specifically: 1. Uneven wall thickness of sanitary stainless steel pipe fittings The uneven wall thickness of sanitary stainless steel pipe fittings mainly occurs in the most deformed parts of stainless steel pipe fittings, such as the wall thickness of the back of the elbow is thinner than other parts; the wall thickness of the pipe mouth and the stainless steel pipe body are not equal. In order to check these problems, the commonly used measuring tools such as calipers are not easy to detect, and only the ultrasonic thickness gauge can be used. 2. The hardness exceeds the standard The problem of excessive hardness is mainly due to the heat treatment process after forming, and the solution is to perform a heat treatment again with the correct heat treatment process. 3. Inspection of stainless steel pipe fittings before delivery and after arrival Inspection plays an important role as the last step in ensuring the quality of sanitary stainless steel fittings, especially for stainless steel fittings subjected to high temperature and pressure and flammable and highly toxic media. Stainless steel pipe fittings, used as pipes for conveying fluids, such as petroleum, natural gas, water, gas, steam, etc., steel pipes subjected to fluid pressure must be hydraulically tested to test their pressure resistance and quality, and do not occur under the specified pressure. Leakage, wetting or expansion is qualified. In addition, when the bending and torsional strength are the same, the weight is light, so it is also widely used in the manufacture of mechanical parts and engineering structures.
