How to repair and maintain the pipe spool fabrication line?

It is not easy to maintain pipe spool fabrication line. Whether it is used in the oil and gas industry, power plants, chemical plants or other infrastructure projects, the pipe spool fabrication line usually contains hundreds of components and thousands of processing steps. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the pipe spool fabrication line.

Line maintenance

The maintenance of the pipe spool fabrication line includes inspection of pipeline corrosion and anti-corrosion; inspection of pipelines for oil leaks; inspection of valves along the line; inspection of the loss of hydraulic structures and coatings along the line; inspection of signs of damage, etc. Once the pipeline line and equipment are found to be faulty, the pipe spool fabrication line should be repaired or updated in time.

Due to the long line of the pipe spool fabrication line, it may be damaged by man-made and natural disasters at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct line inspection and maintenance of the pipe spool fabrication line frequently. In addition, there is also a dedicated pipeline maintenance team equipped with necessary mobile equipment, earth moving equipment, welding and blocking equipment, and communication tools, so that they can be prepared for emergency repairs at any time.

l Pipe spool fabrication line anti-corrosion inspection

Routine pipe spool fabrication line anti-corrosion inspections include: regularly testing the protection potential along the pipeline; using an anti-corrosion layer detector to check the integrity of the pipe's anti-corrosion layer on the ground. The inspection of corrosion in the old pipeline is a complicated task, and it is usually carried out with a cup-type pipe cleaner with a testing instrument.

The testing equipment of the pipe spool fabrication line includes a magnetic flaw detector to detect internal corrosion and an ultrasonic thickness gauge to detect the thickness of the pipe spool fabrication line. The running distance is calculated by the number of revolutions of the support wheel, and all the tested parameters are converted into signals and recorded on the tape. After the inspection, the tape is interpreted by the computer, which can indicate the corrosion degree and location of the pipeline.

l Pipe spool fabrication line oil leakage inspection

Mainly rely on line inspectors to inspect the pipe spool fabrication line. In order to ensure the safety of residents and enterprises along the route, all countries have formulated oil and gas pipeline safety technical specifications, which are strictly supervised and implemented by government departments. If leakage occurs in the pipe spool fabrication line, report it to the competent authority immediately and check the cause of the accident on site.

Heavy rains and floods will cause soil erosion on the pipe spool fabrication line and damage to the embankment, resulting in exposed, suspended or even broken underwater pipelines. These situations are mainly discovered by line inspectors. Line patrol personnel usually walk on the ground or fly in the air to patrol the line. The maintenance work of the pipe spool fabrication line must be implemented in accordance with the detailed line engineering as-built drawing!

Pipeline repair

The most prominent part of the maintenance of the pipe spool fabrication line is the handling of large accidents such as leak repair and pipe replacement. If the leak is caused by corrosion and perforation, you can use a fixture to plug the leak on the pipe and then perform repair welding.

If the pipe spool fabrication line is severely damaged or deformed, the pipe must be removed and replaced with a new pipe section. The oil and gas leaked when the pipe is cut off can easily cause a fire. When cutting off the pipeline at low places, it is necessary to prevent a large amount of oil and gas from leaking. Mechanical plugging devices are often used to plug the pipelines, and emergency repair operations are carried out without stopping the transportation.

The mechanical plugging method is to open a hole on the upstream and downstream of the pipe section to be replaced, and insert a plug with a cup into each hole to isolate the oil or gas at both ends, and then drain the oil in the damaged pipe section. Or gas, cut off the pipe section with a mechanical cutter, then insert two pigging balls into the cuts at both ends, and fill the gap between the pigging balls and the plug with nitrogen to prevent explosion during welding.

Put the equipped new pipe spool fabrication line in place, align and weld. After welding, lift the occluder out of the pipe and close the opening to complete the plugging and pipe replacement work. After the pipe spool fabrication line is repaired and operated, two pig balls will be recovered in the pig receiver tube of the downstream station. When plugging and replacing a pipe section, the bypass pipe can be drawn out before plugging to ensure uninterrupted pipe spool fabrication line delivery during the entire pipe replacement process.

The advantages of choosing WINCOO to repair and maintain the tube shaft production line.

Since the pipe spool fabrication line contains thousands of steps, each step is an opportunity for error. Therefore, carefully plan before sending the request for quotation (RFQ) to the manufacturer and proceed during the manufacturing of the pipe spool fabrication line. Careful monitoring and acceleration of the process contribute to successful, timely and profitable results. Adequate planning, preparation and scheduling early in the process is beneficial to project owners, builders and tube and shaft manufacturers!
