Steel pipe quality inspection method

1. What does chemical composition analysis refer to?

Chemical analysis method, instrumental analysis method (infrared C-S instrument, direct reading spectrometer, zcP, etc.).

① Infrared C-S instrument: analysis of ferroalloys, steelmaking raw materials, C and S elements in steel.

② Direct reading spectrometer: C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Mo, Ni, Cn, A1, W, V, Ti, B, Nb, As, Sn, Sb, Pb, Bi in block samples

③ N-0 instrument: gas content analysis N, O

 

2. What are the geometric dimensions and appearance inspections of steel pipes?

① Steel pipe wall thickness inspection: micrometer, ultrasonic thickness gauge, no less than 8 points at both ends and record.

② Steel pipe outer diameter and ovality inspection: caliper, vernier caliper, ring gauge, measure the maximum point and minimum point.

③ Steel pipe length inspection: steel tape measure, manual, automatic length measurement.

④ Inspection of steel pipe curvature: ruler, level ruler (1m), feeler gauge, fine wire to measure curvature per meter and full-length curvature.

⑤ Inspection of steel pipe end bevel angle and blunt edge: angle ruler, pallet.

 

3. What are the surface quality inspections of steel pipes?

① Manual visual inspection: lighting conditions, standards, experience, markings, steel pipe rotation.

② Nondestructive testing:

a. Ultrasonic flaw detection UT:

It is sensitive to surface and internal crack defects of uniform materials of various materials.

Standard: GB/T 5777-1996 Level: C5

b. Eddy current flaw detection ET: (electromagnetic induction)

It is mainly sensitive to point-shaped (hole-shaped) defects. Standard: GB/T 7735-2004

Level: B

c. Magnetic powder MT and magnetic leakage flaw detection:

Magnetic flaw detection is suitable for the detection of surface and near-surface defects of ferromagnetic materials.

Standard: GB/T 12606-1999 Level: C4

d. Electromagnetic ultrasonic flaw detection:

No coupling medium is required, and it can be applied to high-temperature, high-speed, rough steel pipe surface flaw detection.

e. Penetrant flaw detection:

Fluorescence, coloring, detection of steel pipe surface defects.

 

4. What are the chemical properties of steel pipes?

① Tensile test: measure stress and deformation, determine the strength (YS, TS) and plasticity index (A, Z) of the material

Longitudinal, transverse specimens, pipe sections, arc-shaped, circular specimens (¢10, ¢12.5)

Small diameter, thin wall, large diameter, thick wall, fixed gauge.

Note: The elongation after fracture of the sample is related to the size of the sample GB/T 1760

② Impact test: CVN, notch C type, V type, work J value J/cm2

Standard sample 10×10×55 (mm) Non-standard sample 5×10×55 (mm)

③ Hardness test: Brinell hardness HB, Rockwell hardness HRC, Vickers hardness HV, etc.

④ Hydraulic test: test pressure, stabilization time, p=2Sδ/D

 

5. What are the process performance tests for steel pipes?

① Flattening test: round specimen, C-shaped specimen (S/D>0.15) H=(1+2)S/(∝+S/D)

L=40~100mm, unit length deformation coefficient=0.07~0.08

② Ring pull test: L=15mm, no cracks are qualified

③ Flaring and curling test: top center taper is 30°, 40°, 60°

④ Bending test: can replace flattening test (for large diameter pipes)
