Abstract: The hydrogen-cooled supply pipeline system in thermal power plants is a pressure-bearing network composed of valves, flanges, joints, and other pressurized components. Among these components, detachable connections are especially prone to hydrogen leakage due to sealing degradation...
Abstract: Hydrogenation reactors are critical components in hydroprocessing units, and the sealing of their top flanges involves high technical requirements and operational complexity. Drawing on lessons from a previous flange seal failure during the initial start-up of a 3 million t/a diesel...
Abstract: In the multi-directional die forging of horizontal valve body forgings with flanges on both sides, achieving complete flange filling is often challenging, leading to a low yield of qualified parts. Simulation analysis of the forging process reveals that when the flanges are formed by...
Abstract: This study investigates the stress distribution in lap joint flanges of zirconium pressure vessels with different liner ring structures using ANSYS 11.0 software. The analysis identifies the areas of maximum stress and evaluates the performance of various liner ring configurations. Drawing...
Abstract On LNG carriers, boil-off gas (BOG) can be reliquefied into LNG using lower-temperature cooling media such as nitrogen and helium. However, achieving a reliable seal for cryogenic gases remains a significant technical challenge. Based on the LNG reliquefaction project, this paper analyzes...
Abstract: With the continued development of oil resources in deepwater areas, submarine pipeline transportation is widely recognized as the fastest, safest, most economical, and most reliable method. As the number of submarine pipelines increases, connecting pipelines on the seabed has become inevitable. However,...
Abstract The steel stamped slip-on flange is a new, non-standard pipe flange. This paper introduces the slip-on flange and details its structure and characteristics. A model is created using SolidWorks 3D modeling software and imported into ANSYS Workbench for finite element analysis. The slip-on flange...
Abstract Anchor flanges are critical components in oil and gas pipeline engineering, requiring precise design and calculation to account for complex engineering factors. Traditional design methods often rely on conventional calculation approaches, resulting in suboptimal structural dimensions, excessive...
An anchor flange is a key component in large-diameter, high-pressure, long-distance gas (oil) pipeline systems. This paper presents independent research and development work on the production technology of large anchor flanges. The structural parameter design was conducted by combining theoretical...
Anchor flanges are key components in long-distance gas (oil) pipeline transmission projects. They are welded onto the main gas (oil) pipelines and secured with cement piers. They are either half-buried or fully buried underground to prevent excessive pipeline displacement caused by combined forces such...
Flanges are essential components in the design and construction of pressure vessels. They connect pipes, valves, and other equipment to the vessel, ensuring a secure and leak-proof seal. Flanges play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity and safety of pressure vessels. Types...
A welded neck flange is a type of flange used in piping systems to provide a secure, reliable connection between pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. It is designed with a long, tapered hub that is welded to the pipe. This design provides reinforcement in the flange area, reducing stress and ensuring...
