在役X80输气管道环焊缝失效评估方法

Method for assessing girth weld failure of X80 gas pipelines in service

  • 摘要: 西气东输二线、三线等管道建设中大量使用国产X80螺旋焊管,但国内外X80螺旋焊管尚无大规模服役先例,有关研究也较为匮乏。为此,选取国产在役X80输气管道环焊缝试样进行全焊缝拉伸试验,并建立环焊缝失效评估曲线:与通用失效评估曲线相比,环焊缝失效评估曲线横坐标截止线较短,说明环焊缝塑性相对常规材料较差,更有可能发生脆性失效;在屈服强度附近,失效评估曲线较通用失效评估曲线更陡,缺少过渡段,说明环焊缝更有可能突然失效。通过对实际壁厚环焊缝沿环向和沿壁厚方向的断裂韧性进行测试显示,实际壁厚断裂韧性测试值为70.12 MPa·m0.5,对比多种夏比冲击功与断裂韧性转换公式,发现BS 7910-2013《含缺陷金属结构可接受评价导则》换算公式较为准确。研究结果可为大口径、高钢级输气管道环焊缝的安全评定及平稳运行提供技术参考。

     

    Abstract: A large number of domestic X80 spiral welded pipes were used in the construction of the Second West-East Gas Pipeline and the Third West-East Gas Pipeline, which was the first time that X80 spiral welded pipes were put into service in large scale at home and abroad, and few studies were conducted for it. Hence, all-weld tensile test was conducted with the girth weld specimen of in-service domestic X80 gas pipelines, and accordingly, a girth weld failure assessment curve (FAC) was plotted. In addition, the abscissa cutoff line of the girth weld FAC is shorter than that of the general FAC, indicating that the plasticity of girth weld is lower than the conventional materials, and thus brittle failure may be easy to occur. Moreover, the girth weld FAC with the stress close to the yield strength is steeper than the general FAC, without any transition, which shows that X80 girth weld is more likely to suffer a sudden failure. As shown in the girth weld fracture toughness test of true pipe wall thickness in the circumferential and the wall thickness directions, the measured value of the fracture toughness of the true pipe wall thickness is 70.12 MPa·m0.5, and comparing with the conversion formulas of Charpy impact energy and the fracture toughness with the test results, it is found that the conversion formula specified in BS 7910-2013 Guide to methods for assessing the acceptability of flaws in metalls structures is more accurate. The research results could provide technical reference for the safety assessment and steady operation of girth welds of large-diameter and high-grade steel gas pipelines.
