Foreword
GB/T 23711, Test method for pressure vessels lined with plastics, is divided into
8 parts:
-- Part 1: Spark testing;
-- Part 2: Low-temperature testing;
-- Part 3: High-temperature inspection;
-- Part 4: Negative pressure inspection;
-- Part 5: Cold-hot cycling inspection;
-- Part 6: Anti pressure testing;
-- Part 7: Leak testing;
-- Part 8: High-resistance testing.
This Part is the 1st part of GB/T 23711.
This Part was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB/T 23711.1-2009, Spark test method for pressure
vessels lined with fluoroplastics; compared with GB/T 23711.1-2009, the main
technical changes, except editorial changes, are as follows:
-- In "Scope", add plastic lining materials such as rigid polyvinyl chloride
(PVC-U), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (PVC-C), polyethylene (PE) (see
Chapter 1);
-- Delete the normative references (see Chapter 2 of version 2009);
-- Modify the expression of the principle (see Chapter 2, Chapter 3 of version
2009);
-- Modify the expression of test equipment (see Chapter 3, Chapter 4 of
version 2009);
-- Add requirements for the accuracy level of voltmeters; add a note on the
name of the spark detector (see 3.1);
-- Add requirements for the spark detector probe (see 3.2);
-- Modify requirements for the sample (see Chapter 4, Chapter 5 of version
2009);
Test method for pressure vessels lined with plastics -
Part 1: Spark testing
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 23711 specifies the principle, test equipment, sample, test
method, test result judgment and test report of the spark testing of steel
pressure vessels lined with plastics.
This Part applies to the spark testing of steel pressure vessels lined with plastics,
such as rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (PVC-
C), polyethylene (PE), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE),
fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA),
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), whose
container shell material is steel.
2 Principle
For the spark detector, set a minimum test voltage; scan the plastic lining
through the probe. When there are defects such as micropores and cracks in
the plastic lining, they are broken down under the test voltage to form a short
circuit, and the electric spark detector emits an alarm sound or a spark appears
at the probe.
3 Test equipment
3.1 Electric spark detector
The output voltage of the electric spark detector is divided into DC and AC. DC
shall be connected into a loop; AC is not required. Its output voltage range
should be 5 kV ~ 20 kV; the accuracy level of the voltmeter shall be no less than
level-2.5.
Note: Electric spark detector is also known as spark leak detector and pinhole
detector.
3.2 Electric spark detector probe
According to the shape of the container, the electric spark detector can choose
rod, plate, round, semi-circular, ring, fan, rake and other probes.
