Development of a Flow-Measuring Hydropneumatic Bench for Testing Pipeline Valves

Pipe fittings are an important element of any pipeline network, ensuring stable and safe operation by regulating the flow working medium. To control performance valves, it is necessary to conduct various tests, main ones which hydraulic pneumatic. It expand testing capabilities reduce time costs. The purpose this work combine pneumatic tests into one test complex, will complex due absence need for reinstallation reconfiguration. subject study determination design, technical, operational characteristics such a stand, as well simulation operating conditions confirm its operability. During development, methods solid surface modeling, finite method, analytical calculation were used. results stand design presented, features process development described, including analysis stress-strain state reliability durability indicators. obtained values distribution equivalent stresses, deformations, displacements structure elements do not exceed maximum allowable lead destruction. shows that developed has improved compared those previously Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-01-013 Full Text: PDF
