What is the principle of hydraulic pipe joints? How to clean it up?

Many people have never heard of hydraulic pipe joints, let alone know what they do. The editor has searched for relevant information and now shares with you the principles and cleaning methods of hydraulic pipe joints, hoping to help everyone.

What is the principle of hydraulic pipe joints? How to clean it up?

1、 Introduction to hydraulic pipe joints

Hydraulic pipe joint is a connecting component between high-pressure oil pipes. It has many classifications, including welded pipe joints, high-pressure hoses, transition pipe joints, high-pressure ball valves, etc.

2、 The principle of hydraulic pipe joints

Different types of joints have different principles. Here, the editor will introduce the principles related to welded pipe joints. Welded pipe joints, as the name suggests, are welded and sealed with a circular seal between the joint and the connecting pipe. The structure of this pipe joint is relatively simple, the production cost is not high, it is easy to make, and the sealing performance is good. However, the welding quality requirements are very high, and it is inconvenient to install and disassemble.

3、 Cleaning of hydraulic pipe joints

The cleaning of hydraulic pipe joints can be divided into two types: kerosene cleaning and acid washing. Kerosene cleaning is mainly aimed at copper pipes and stainless steel pipes. First, remove the pipes and joints to be cleaned, use a cloth dipped in kerosene to clean the inside and view, and then soak both ends and joints directly in kerosene for cleaning. The standard after cleaning is that there should be no visible pollutants. Acid washing is mainly aimed at severely corroded steel pipes. Firstly, degreasing is carried out, followed by water washing, rust removal, and then neutralization with alkaline solution. Be careful not to wash away the marks on the pipes.

The principle and cleaning methods of hydraulic pipe joints have been introduced by the editor so much. I hope that after reading this article, everyone can have a better understanding of hydraulic pipe joints.

Replace the hydraulic joint with a new one and thoroughly clean the welding slag and oil stains inside the pipe with kerosene or anhydrous ethanol before installation to ensure that the sealing surface is free of impurities.

Surface strengthening treatment:
Plated with hard chromium (thickness ≥ 0.02mm) or coated with molybdenum disulfide lubricant (suitable for working conditions of -20~200 ℃) at the thread;
The key parts are made of stainless steel material (such as 316L), and there is no corrosion after salt spray testing for ≥ 720 hours.
Suggestions for rust prevention management:
Install a moisture-proof silicone bag during storage, and apply rust proof oil to the contact surface;
Regularly check the cleanliness of the threads (by blowing with high-pressure gas to prevent impurities from accumulating).
Emergency response plan:
Rusted threads can be softened with WD-40 penetrant and cleaned with a nylon brush; Severe corrosion requires cutting off the damaged section and re tapping.

Accurate selection guide:
Working pressure ≤ 80% of the nominal pressure of the joint (e.g. 50MPa grade joint is selected for 35MPa system);
An additional 30% margin is added for impact conditions, and the pressure in high-temperature environments is converted based on the temperature coefficient (reduced by 20% for every 100 ℃).
Strengthen testing verification:
Provide a third-party pressure pulse test report (such as no leakage after 100000 0.5Hz square wave tests);
Add safety relief valves to critical areas (set value<10% of maximum system pressure).
Structural optimization suggestions:
Adopting a double-layer sealing structure (main seal+buffer ring) to absorb pressure fluctuations;
Thickened pipe wall material (such as high-pressure hose joint SC5S outer diameter ≥ 25mm).

Standardized control measures:
Establish a thread identification system (laser print "NPT-1/2-28UNF" on the joint);
Provide a size comparison table (including ISO/ANSI/DIN standard conversion parameters).
Precision detection equipment:
Use an electronic thread gauge (accuracy ± 0.01mm) to detect the tooth profile angle (60 ° or 55 °);
The ovality of the tube body is ≤ 0.05mm (it is recommended to submit samples for retesting before procurement).
Professional installation guidance:
Adopting the torque step method (initial torque 50% → compound torque 100% → final torque 120%);
It is recommended to use a hydraulic torque wrench (with an accuracy of ± 3%) in conjunction with a fixed torque socket.
