Six connection methods of steel pipe and pipeline
 
Steel pipe and pipeline connection is a very important part of the project construction, directly related to the quality of the project. With the rapid development of pipeline industry, there are more and more methods to connect the pipeline. In this paper, 6 kinds of connection methods are sorted out for reference.
 
 
 
Threaded connection
1. Thread processing
It shall be cut in 2-3 times, and the thread shall be clear, complete and smooth without burr and disordered wire. If there is any broken or missing thread, it shall not be greater than 10% of the total thread thread number. The thread shall also meet the requirements of assembly tolerance, with a taper of 1 / 16, to prevent too loose or too tight fit between threads.
 
GB / t7306, 55 ° sealing pipe thread, is applicable to the threaded connection of pipes, valves, pipe joints, cocks and other pipe accessories.
 
2. Thread assembly
After tightening, 2-3 thread tails shall be exposed, excess packing shall be removed, and exposed thread teeth shall be painted with red lead for rust prevention. The painting width of red lead is the same, and the coating is uniform without flowing or missing.
 
3. Common problems
The hemp thread is not cleaned, the exposed thread is long, the painting is standard, and the painting is free of rust
 
 
 
 
Flange connection
1. Pipe flange
1) The specification and model of companion flange are the same; when connecting with equipment flange, it shall be matched according to its specification;
2) When the flange is connected, it is coaxial and parallel, and the flange surface is perpendicular to the pipe center;
3) The specification of the fastening bolt is the same, the direction is the same, the exposed length of the bolt is 1 / 2 of the bolt diameter or flush with the nut;
4) When connecting the valve, the nut shall be placed on the valve side;
5) The top two screw holes of the horizontal pipe flange shall be kept horizontal, and the two screw holes of the vertical pipe flange against the wall shall be parallel to the wall.
 
Flange standard: national standard gb9112-9123, Ministry of machinery standard jb79-86, Ministry of chemical industry standard hg5008-5028 and Ministry of petroleum industry standard syj4, the flange bolt hole center is the same, the pipe diameter of JB standard and Hg standard is "small outer diameter", GB standard and SYJ standard are "large outer diameter", when using, it should be noted that the number of bolt holes of individual specification flange is different.
 
2. Common problems
Inner ring of flange is not welded, inner ring of flange is not welded, flange does not match
 
 
 
 
Welded connection

1. Welding
1) The welding of stainless steel pipe is protected by argon filling. After welding, the weld and heat affected zone are pickled and passivated.
2) The brazing of copper pipe shall not be over heated (650-750 ℃), and the residual slag and other sundries at the welding joint shall be removed after welding.
3) No undercut, slag inclusion, crack, splash and other defects are found in the weld appearance inspection.
 
2. Common problems
The brazed joint of copper pipe is not cleaned, the undercut of stainless steel pipe is not treated, the width of weld is narrow, and the reinforcement is different
 
 
 
 
Groove connection
1. Groove assembly
1) Clean the pipe end, put on the rubber sealing ring, install the clamp and fasten the bolt;
2) The center line of the pipe at the two ends of the trench is the same, and the installation direction (fastening bolt position) of the trench is the same;
3) The straight pipe section should adopt rigid joint, and a flexible joint should be set between every 4-5 continuous rigid joints on the pipe section.
 
2. Common problems
The direction of groove joint is not uniform, and the pipes at both ends of groove are not straight.
 
 
 
Compression connection
Clean the insertion port and mark the insertion depth. Insert the pipe to the specified depth and keep the axis vertical. Use the special clamping tool to clamp the joint, and use the gauge to check whether the clamping dimension is in place after clamping.
 
 


Socket connection
Before connecting the cast iron pipe, clean the sundries that affect the tightness of the socket and spigot, and put the rubber sealing ring correctly. Insert and maintain the perpendicularity of the two pipe sections according to the depth required by the construction standard.
 
There are relevant requirements on the connection mode of pipes in the fire water supply system. The following content is excerpted for learning.
