High Pressure manifolds strength analysis is the basis of High Pressure manifolds breakage prediction technology, we must first of all kinds of high-pressure fluid control components do basic strength calculation analysis.
When calculating intensity, high pressure fluid control components mainly exposed internal uniform pressure, pressure lowest 50MPa, up to 100MPa. When calculating the work load is divided into three levels, namely 50MPa, 70MPa and 100MPa. When calculating the tee, considering both domestic and imported, the parameters of these two materials come through experimental analysis as shown in Table 1.

5. High Pressure manifolds strength analysis conclusions
Intensity of high-pressure fluid control member is calculated on the Pentium-300 machine completed calculation software is widely used in the scientific community of ALGOR FEAS (Algor Finite Element Analysis System) finite element analysis system. Before this software, post-processing is complete, better visualization.
From the analysis of the calculation results can be obtained the following conclusions:
1. The high pressure fluid control member in the work load of 50MPa, 70MPa, when 100MPa, if the thickness t of the original thickness (thickness no wear and tear), have sufficient strength. Seen from the table, when the work load of 100MPa, the maximum displacement Pup joint is 5.980 × 10-2mm, appears in the 3 "Pup joint; the maximum displacement Swivel joint is 6.032 × 10-2 mm, appears in the 3" Swivel joint in; and maximum displacement Tee tube is 0.076mm, appeared in domestic Tee tube. Displacement values above are able to meet normal operating requirements.
2. Analysis of the results from the High Pressure manifolds strength can be seen, the finite element method are in good agreement with the exact method. But the premise is to establish a mechanical model was appropriate. Such as 1.5 "Pup joint work load under the action of 100MPa, with the finite element method The maximum stress obtained for 257.009MPa, but with analytical method (ie exact method) The maximum stress obtained for 256.0MPa. Limited High Pressure manifolds element calculations and finite element numerical results correct model with high accuracy.
3. From the stress distribution of High Pressure manifolds visible, either Pup joint, Swivel joint, Tee pipe or tube ends, should the power level from the pipe wall to the outer wall of the tube decreases. Should force the highest level in the tube wall, because the work load directly on the tube wall.
4. Distribution of high stress areas. In Pup joint, the inner wall of the tube was undoubtedly the high gravitational zone: Swivel joint in high stress areas in the inner wall surface of the elbow; and Tee's in charge of the high stress areas and intersecting oblique tube armpit, Tee's armpit is stress focus area. This is entirely consistent with the conclusions of the qualitative analysis, also in line with the structure of the mechanical properties.
5. stresses exceed the standard. The results can be seen from the finite element method, the work load for the import Tee action under 100MPa, directors and oblique intersection pipe stress armpit up 759.633MPa, in fact, this is not true stress at armpit. That is the true stress Tee's reach so high. The reason of this magnitude is Tee stress caused by the finite element model, a finite element model of the formation of a sharp point in the armpit Tee cause stress concentration, but not the actual structure of the cusp.
6. pipeline design life of 10 to 15 years generally can be considered, in addition to the wall thickness of the manifold components should meet the strength requirements, but should also include corrosion, wear and tear, such as the manufacture of negative deviation left margin, the annual erosion rate the desirability 0 . 1rnrn. High Pressure manifolds for all members by attrition thickness 2mm calculate the stress and still meet the normal requirements. |
