Abstract
Development of an installation for hydraulic testing of pipeline valves
Incoming article date: 21.09.2022Pipeline networks today are the main and one of the safest ways to transport all kinds of media. This engineering system consists of various elements, one of which is pipeline fittings that regulate the parameters of working media and protect pipelines from overpressure. In order to control the operability of pipeline fittings, it must be subjected to comprehensive tests, one of which is a leak test. The presented study describes the developed design of a technological hydraulic installation intended for use as part of process equipment for conducting in-plant testing of pipeline valves. The results of modeling the stress-strain states of the main units, as well as the hydraulic calculation of the test circuit of the installation are presented.
