مواصفات أنابيب API 5L

تاريخ:2023-02-16 رأي:466
يهدف معيار API 5L إلى الغاز والماء في صناعة النفط والغاز كمرجع ، والذي يستخدم لأنابيب فولاذية غير ملحومة وأنابيب فولاذية ملحومة ، بما في ذلك المنفذ والميناء المشترك ، منفذ مقبس الأنابيب وأنبوب التدفق المباشر (TFL) والمنفذ له معالجة أنبوب الاتصال.

معيار API 5L يشمل درجة الفولاذ (GR.B , X42 , X46 , X52 , X56 , X60 , X65 , X70).

معيار API 5L يحتوي على أحكام مستويين من مواصفات المنتج (PSL1 و PSL2). نوعان من مستوى درجة PSL للمنتج إلى المعيار المنصوص عليه في المتطلبات الفنية المختلفة ، PSL2 من مكافئ الكربون ، وصلابة الشق ، وقوة الخضوع القصوى وقوة الشد لها متطلبات إلزامية. PSL هي اختصار لمستوى مواصفات المنتج. ينقسم مستوى مواصفات منتج الأنابيب الخطية إلى PSL1 و PSL2 ، ويمكن القول أيضًا أن درجات الجودة تنقسم إلى PSL1 و PSL2. PSL2 أعلى من PSL1 ، هذان المستويان ليسا فقط متطلبات فحص مختلفة ، والتركيب الكيميائي ، ومتطلبات الأداء الميكانيكي مختلفة ، وبالتالي فإن الترتيب في API 5 l ، وشروط العقد بالإضافة إلى الإشارة إلى المواصفات ودرجة الفولاذ عادة ما تكون المؤشرات ، يجب أن يشير أيضًا إلى مستوى مواصفات المنتج ، وبالتحديد PSL1 أو PSL2. PSL2 في التركيب الكيميائي وخصائص الشد وطاقة التأثير والاختبار غير المدمر الذي صار صارمًا في مؤشرات PSL1. لا يتطلب PSL1 أداء تصادم ، PSL2 كلها باستثناء الصلب بدرجة x80 ، بالحجم الكامل 0 ℃ متوسط Akv: p j طولي ، 41 حدة جانبية 27 j متوسط درجة فولاذ X80 ، بالحجم الكامل 0 ℃ Akv: طولية 101 j ، أو حدة جانبية 68 j . يجب أن يقوم أنبوب الخط باختبار ضغط الماء ، ولا يُسمح للمعايير بالتوليد غير المدمر للضغط الهيدروليكي ، وهو أيضًا معيار API وفرق كبير واحد بين معيار بلدنا. لا يتطلب PSL1 فحصًا غير تدميري ، يجب أن يكون PSL2 عن طريق فحص غير تدميري .

API 5L Pipe Quality Inspection Standards:

Hydrostatic Test
The pipe shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test with no leakage in the weld or pipe body. If the pipe section used has successfully passed the test, the joint does not need to be hydrostatically tested.

Bend Test
No cracks shall be present in any part of the test piece and no openings shall be present in the weld.

Flattening Test
The acceptance criteria for the flattening test shall be:

EW Pipe D<12.750 inches:

X60, T 500 inches. The weld shall not open until the distance between the plates is less than 66% of the original outside diameter. For all grades and wall thicknesses, it is 50%.
For pipes with D/t > 10, the weld shall not open until the distance between the plates is less than 30% of the original outside diameter.
For other sizes, refer to the complete API 5L specification.

CVN Impact Test for PSL2
Many PSL2 pipe sizes and grades require CVN. Seamless pipe will be tested inside the pipe body. Welded pipe is tested on the pipe body, pipe welds, and heat affected zone. Refer to the full API 5L specification for sizes and grades and a chart of required absorbed energy values.
