List of organizations specialized in the design and manufacture of membrane safety devices.

A safety valve (hereinafter referred to as PC) is a pipeline fitting primarily direct action(there are also PCs controlled by pilot or pulse valves), designed for emergency bypass (dumping) of the medium when the pressure in the pipeline exceeds a predetermined one. After releasing excess pressure, the PC must close hermetically, thereby stopping further release of the medium.

In these instructions, 2 terms are used:

1. Setting pressure (hereinafter referred to as Рн) – this is the greatest redundant pressure at the valve inlet (under the spool) at which the valve is closed and sealed. When pH is exceeded, the valve must open to such an amount as to ensure the required flow of medium to reduce the pressure in the pipeline or vessel.

2. Opening start pressure (hereinafter referred to as Рн.о.) is the pressure at which the so-called “pop” in industrial jargon occurs, i.e. the pressure at which the valve spool opens by a certain amount, releases some of the pressure and then closes back. “Cotton” is clearly distinguishable in gaseous media; in liquid media, this concept is defined with great difficulty.

Checking the settings and functionality must be carried out at least once every 6 months in accordance with GOST 12.2.085 “Pressure vessels. Valves are safety safety requirements."

Pressure pH can only be checked on so-called "full consumable» stands, i.e. those that repeat the operating parameters of the pipe (vessel) in terms of pressure and flow. Considering the variety of objects on which PCs are installed, even within one enterprise, it is not possible to have such a number of stands.

Therefore, when checking and configuring the PC, the determination of pressure pH is used. O. Based on numerous experiments over many years of practice, it has been established that Rn. O. should be higher than pH by no more than 5-7% (10% in Western standards).

Checking valves for functionality and pressure pH. O. held at "non-expendable" stands, typical representative which is a stand for testing and adjusting safety valves SI-TPA-200-64 produced by the Design Bureau pipeline fittings and special works."

Stand for testing and adjusting safety valves SI-TPA-200-64 ensures the following pneumatic tests (medium - air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, other non-flammable gases):

- tests for tightness of the seat-body connection;

- tests for tightness of the seat-spool pair (tightness in the valve);

- performance tests (operation tests);

- settings for response pressure.

It is possible to manufacture a stand complete with water testing.

The stand provides testing of pipeline fittings with a flange type of connection (threaded connection as an option)

maximum diameter 200. The maximum test pressure depends on the type of pressure regulator supplied as part of the control panel, basic equipment control panel – regulator 0 to 1.6 MPa. Testing of valves with union connection is carried out using an adapter (not included in the delivery set).

The test pressure source is not included in the scope of delivery.

It is possible to equip it with a pressure source according to the customer’s technical specifications.

Test stand SI-TPA-200-64 passed UkrSEPRO certification, supplied complete with operating instructions and passport.

Adjustment (setting) of safety valves to operate at a given pressure is carried out:

Before installation. After a major overhaul, if safety valves or their major renovation(complete disassembly, grooving of sealing surfaces, replacement of chassis parts, etc.), in case of replacing a spring. During periodic inspection. After emergency situations caused by PC failure.

The actuation of the valves during adjustment is determined by a sharp pop accompanied by the noise of the ejected medium, observed when the spool is torn away from the seat. For all types of PCs, operation is controlled by the beginning of the pressure drop on the pressure gauge.

Before starting work on setting up (checking) the PC, it is necessary to instruct the shift and adjustment personnel involved in the work on adjusting the valves.

Staff should be well aware design features PCs subject to adjustment and the requirements of their operating instructions.

GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING SAFETY VALVES.

Install on the stand a flange of the type that matches the type of flange of the PC being tested. Install the required gasket. Install the valve onto the stand flange. Tighten the stand screw until the PC is fully secured in the clamps. Create the maximum possible backpressure force on the PC spool. Block the access of the medium under the valve spool using a shut-off device. Supply the medium to the control panel and set the required response pressure (start of opening) at the outlet of the control panel. Open the shut-off device and supply the test medium under the PC spool. Reduce the back pressure force until the valve actuates. Block access to the medium under the PC spool. Re-supply the medium under the PC spool - the valve should operate at the required pressure. Repeat steps 10 and 11 at least 3 times. If it is not possible to adjust the PC properly, return the valve to the RMC for additional grinding of the seat and (or) spool. If the functionality of the PC is confirmed, remove the PC from the stand, having previously shut off the supply of medium under the spool and to the control panel. Fill out the PC operational documentation and the bench work log. Seal the PC and backpressure adjustment mechanisms. Turn off the stand. Drain the water (condensate) from the cavities of the stand, wipe dry, and apply protective lubricant. Ensure that the stand is protected from dust and moisture until the next use.

FEATURES OF ADJUSTING LEVER-WEIGHT VALVES.

Direct-acting lever-load valves are adjusted in the following sequence:

1. The weights on the valve levers are moved to their extreme position.

3. The weight on one of the valves is slowly moved towards the body until the valve is activated.

4. After closing the valve, the position of the weight is fixed with a locking screw.

5. The pressure rises again and the pressure value at which the valve operates is checked. If it differs from the required one, the position of the weight on the lever is adjusted and the correct operation of the valve is re-checked.

6. After completing the adjustment, the position of the weight on the lever is finally fixed with a locking screw. To prevent uncontrolled movement of the load, the screw is sealed.

7. If the backpressure created by the load is insufficient, an additional weight is installed on the lever of the adjustable PC and the adjustment is repeated in the same sequence.

FEATURES OF ADJUSTING DIRECT-ACTING SAFETY VALVES.

1. The protective cap is removed and the adjusting screw is tightened as much as possible (“to the bottom”).

2. The pressure on the bench pressure gauge is set to 10% higher than the calculated (permitted) pressure.

3. By turning the adjusting sleeve counterclockwise, the compression of the spring is reduced to a position at which the valve will operate.

4. The pressure rises again and the value at which the valve operates is checked. If it differs from the required one, then the spring compression is adjusted and the valve is re-checked for operation. At the same time, the pressure at which the valve closes is monitored. The difference between the actuation pressure and the closing pressure should be no more than 0.3 MPa (3.0 kgf/cm2). If this value is greater or less, then the position of the adjusting sleeve must be adjusted.

For this:

For TKZ valves, unscrew the locking screw located above the cover and turn the damper bushing counterclockwise to reduce the drop or clockwise to increase the drop;

For PPK and SPPK valves, the pressure difference between the actuation and closing pressures can be adjusted by changing the position of the upper adjusting sleeve, which is accessed through a hole closed with a plug on the side surface of the body.

5. After completing the adjustment, the position of the adjusting screw is locked using a locknut. To prevent unauthorized changes in the spring tension, a protective cap is installed on the valve, covering the adjusting sleeve and the end of the lever. The bolts securing the protective cap are sealed.

Requirements for the safe performance of work when conducting hydraulic testing of the hydraulic control system in the VNK.

1. Hydraulic testing is aimed at checking the strength of the vessel elements and the tightness of the joints. Vessels must be submitted for hydraulic testing with fittings installed on them.

4.2. Hydraulic testing of vessels is carried out only if the results of external and internal examinations are satisfactory.

4.3. Fill the vessel with water. When filling a vessel with water, the air must be completely removed. For hydraulic testing of vessels, water with a temperature not lower than +5ºС and not higher than + 40ºС should be used, if technical conditions no specific temperature value allowed under the condition of preventing brittle fracture is indicated. The temperature difference between the vessel wall and the surrounding air during testing should not cause moisture condensation on the surface of the vessel walls. By agreement with the vessel design developer, another liquid can be used instead of water.

4.5. The pressure in the vessel should be increased gradually. The rate of pressure rise must be specified in the installation and operating instructions.

Usage compressed air or other gas to raise pressure is not allowed.

The test pressure must be monitored by two pressure gauges, one of which must be installed on the top cover (bottom) of the vessel. Both pressure gauges must be of the same type, measurement limit, same accuracy classes, and division values.

4.6. Maintain the vessel under test pressure for 5 minutes, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.

4.7. Reduce the pressure to the design (permitted) value and inspect the outer surface of the vessel, all its detachable and welded connections.

Tapping the walls of the body, welded and detachable joints of the vessel during testing is not allowed.

4.8. The vessel is considered to have passed the hydraulic test if the following is not detected:

Leaks, cracks, sweating tears in welded joints and in the base metal;



Leaks in detachable connections;

Visible residual deformations, pressure drop on the pressure gauge.

4.9. The vessel and its elements, in which defects were identified during testing, are subjected to repeated hydraulic tests with test pressure after their elimination.

In cases where a hydraulic test is not possible, it is permitted to replace it with a pneumatic test (air or inert gas). This type of test is allowed subject to its control by the acoustic emission method (or another method approved by the State Mining and Technical Supervision Authority of Russia).

During pneumatic testing, precautions are taken: the valve on the filling pipeline from the pressure source and pressure gauges are taken outside the room in which the vessel being tested is located, and people are removed to a safe place during the test pressure test of the vessel.

Frequency of SPPK calibration.

Along with the technical examination of the vessels, safety valves must be calibrated (at least once every 2 years). The number of safety valves, their dimensions and capacity must be selected according to calculations so that pressure does not build up in the vessel exceeding the excess pressure by more than 0.05 MPa (0.5 kgf/cm2) for vessels with pressure up to 0. 3 MPa (3 kgf/cm2), by 15% - for vessels with pressure from 0.3 to 6.0 MPa (from 3 to 60 kgf/cm2) and by 10% - for vessels with pressure over 6.0 MPa (60 kgf/cm2). The calibration pressure of safety valves is determined based on the permitted pressure in the vessel.

At what pressure is the SPPK calibrated?.

The number of safety valves, their sizes and capacity must be selected according to calculations so that vessel pressure was not created exceeding the design one by more than 0.05 MPa (0.5 kgf/cm2) for vessels with pressure up to 0.3 MPa (3 kgf/cm2), by 15% for vessels with pressure from 0.3 to 6.0 MPa (from 3 to 60 kgf/cm2) and by 10% - for vessels with pressure above 6.0 MPa (60 kgf/cm2).

When safety valves are operating, the pressure in the vessel may be exceeded by no more than 25% of the working pressure, provided that this excess is provided for by the design and is reflected in the vessel passport.

The procedure for preparing a vessel for inspection.

The person responsible for good condition and safe operation must ensure the preparation of the vessel for technical inspection and participate in it.

2.1. Work inside the vessel must be carried out in accordance with the work permit.

2.2. Before internal inspection and hydraulic testing, carry out the following

current works:

Stop the vessel;

Cool (warm);

Free from the environment that fills it;

Disconnect plugs from all pipelines connecting the vessel to a pressure source or other vessels;

Steam with live steam until the hydrocarbon content is below 300 mg/m 3 and the oxygen content is less than 20% by volume;

Clean the vessel down to metal.

Vessels working with harmful substances 1st and 2nd hazard classes according to GOST 12.1.007, before starting any work inside, as well as before internal inspection, they must undergo mandatory processing (neutralization, degassing) in accordance with instructions for the safe performance of work, approved by the chief engineer .

Lining, insulation and other forms of corrosion protection must be partially or completely removed if there are signs indicating the possibility of material defects. power elements vessel structures (lining leaks, lining holes, traces of insulation being wet, etc.). Electrical heating and the vessel drive must be turned off;

Remove devices that impede external and internal inspection of vessels (coils, stirrers, jackets, plates, etc.).

The possibility of removing welded devices and their subsequent installation in place must be indicated in the technical documentation and in the “Installation and Safe Operation Instructions” of the plant.

manufacturer;

Vessels with a height of more than 2 m must be equipped with necessary equipment, providing safe access to all parts of the vessel.

4.In what cases is it permissible to install shut-off valves between the SRD and PPK.

The fittings in front of (behind) the safety device can be installed provided that two safety devices are installed and locked to prevent them from being turned off simultaneously. In this case, each of them must have the capacity provided clause 5.5.9 Rules

When installing a group of safety devices and fittings in front of (behind) them, the blocking must be performed in such a way that, in case of any valve shutdown option provided for by the design, the remaining switched on safety devices have the total capacity provided for in clause 5.5.9 of the Rules.

5.What data is applied by the manufacturer to the DDS? ,

What data is applied by the manufacturer to the DDS.

The manufacturer puts the following data on the DDS:

Manufacturer's name;

Name of the vessel;

Design, test and working pressure;

Working temperature;

Mass and volume;

Date of manufacture.

Question:
Dear experts, I ask you to clarify what specific regulatory and technical documents we need to be guided by when testing (calibrating) safety valves, since in the “Rules for the design and safe operation of process pipelines (approved by Resolution of the State Mining and Technical Supervision of the Russian Federation dated June 10, 2003 N 80) clause 9.3.31. It is stated that “Safety valves are maintained in accordance with technical documentation and regulatory technical documentation industrial safety", i.e. a detailed answer on this issue has not been given. And the second question is whether we have the right to be guided by IPKM-2005 "Procedure for operation, inspection and repair of safety valves, membrane safety devices of oil refineries and petrochemical enterprises of the Ministry of Industry and Energy of Russia", agreed with Rostechnadzor Russia, to determine the frequency of revision of the PPC.
Best regards, Makarov E.

Answer:
Hello. Calibration is carried out on the basis of the factory

Operating manuals (instructions).

PB 03-583-03 for membrane devices also applies.

There are no similar PBs in the oil and gas industry. It is possible to use the “Operating Procedures...” you specified, if it applies to the oil and gas industry.
