Publish Time: 2024-06-12
The insulation performance test of Long Fully Insulated Intermediate Joint is an important part to ensure its quality and safety. The following is a detailed introduction to the insulation performance test method of Long Fully Insulated Intermediate Joint:
1. Overview of test methods
The insulation performance test mainly determines the insulation performance of the insulation joint by measuring the insulation resistance value of the insulation joint. The insulation resistance value can reflect the insulation performance of the material. The insulation resistance value between the insulation component and the applied voltage can be measured through the leakage current generated on the surface of the material.
2. Specific test methods
Megohmmeter method: suitable for measuring the insulation resistance value of the insulation joint that is not installed on the pipeline. First, connect the lines at various places according to the megohmmeter measurement method. The connection between the measuring wire and the pipeline should use a magnetic joint or a clamp, and ensure that there is no rust at the connection point. Then, use a 500V/500MΩ (error is not more than 10%) megohmmeter, turn the megohmmeter handle to the specified speed, and continue for 10 seconds. The stable indicated resistance value is the insulation resistance value of the insulation joint, which is required to be greater than 10 megohms.
Potential method: It is suitable for judging the insulation performance of the insulated joint with cathodic protection measures. First, complete the connection of the line according to the requirements of the potential method to measure the wiring. Then, keep the position of the copper sulfate reference electrode unchanged, and use a digital multimeter to measure the pipe-to-ground potential Va at the non-protected end a of the insulated joint and the pipe-to-ground potential Vb at the protected end b. When the insulated joint is in good condition, the potential difference on both sides should be between 200 and 500 millivolts.
3. Analysis of test results
According to the measurement results, the insulation performance of the insulated joint can be judged. If the insulation resistance value is greater than the specified value and the potential difference is within the normal range, it indicates that the insulation performance of the insulated joint is good; otherwise, further inspection or replacement of the insulated joint is required.
In short, the insulation performance test of the Long Fully Insulated Intermediate Joint is an important step to ensure its quality and safety. By adopting appropriate detection methods and strict analysis standards, it can be ensured that the insulated joint has good insulation performance during use.
