Разработана методика проведения испытаний технических средств защиты стальных сварных бытовых баллонов для сжиженных углеводородных газов (СУГ) от физического разрушения при воздействии на них пожара. В методике содержатся требования к отбору газовых баллонов, рассматриваемым модельным сценариям, установке для испытаний, мероприятиям по подготовке испытаний, порядку их проведения, к отчету о проведении испытаний. Использование предлагаемой методики позволит с высокой степенью достоверности оценивать эффективность применения технических средств защиты стальных бытовых баллонов для СУГ от физического разрушения при воздействии пожара. The paper contains proposals for inclusion in the testing methodology for technical means of protecting gas cylinders from physical destruction. The proposals relate to the choice of typical scenarios characteristic for emergencies and fire development in a room with LPG cylinders: the ingress of cylinders into the fire center, the impact on the cylinder surface of the heat flow of the adjacent fire center; the impact on the surface of the cylinder of LPG vapors jet combustion, simulating the effect of combustion of LPG vapors coming out of the outlet of the valve (safety valve or membrane) of the adjacent cylinder. The design of the installation for testing cylinders in accordance with the above scenarios is presented. There are given requirements for the test preparation procedure, including the verification of documentation, installation of technical protective equipment, filling and delivery of cylinders, checking for gas leaks from cylinders after delivery, installation for testing. A detailed description of the installation procedure is given in accordance with the presented diagrams for various test scenarios. The basic diagrams of the measuring system for the pressure inside the cylinder, mounting of thermocouples on the wall of the cylinder, and remote supply of liquid fuel to trays are described. There is described the test procedure, which consists of turning on the recording systems, gas supplying to the installation, activating the cylinder heating system, video recording of the experiment with timing, closing the valve in front of the pressure sensor after the end of combustion, discharging LPG from the sealed cylinder to the burner. The requirements for the composition of the test report are given, which make it possible to confirm the reliability of the experiments.

Reliable detection of small potential leaks is a topic of significant interest for remote offshore pipelines. Potential leak cases of interest are pinhole leaks out of the bottom of the pipe due to corrosion, weld or seam cracks, or damage due to third-party contact. There are several emerging technologies that may have the potential to provide a means of detecting such leaks over long segments of underwater pipe. These technologies include distributed acoustic and distributed temperature sensing. A key element of evaluating the applicability of these systems is to characterize the behavior of leaks. It is critically important to understand how leaks behave when employing a technology that has only been previously used for other conditions. A joint-industry program was initiated to evaluate the thermal and acoustic behavior of hypothetical underwater leaks. The environments studied range from shallow, Arctic applications to deep offshore installations. Analytical models were assessed to predict the jetting behavior of simulated leaks and their near-field thermal response. This analysis was performed for both liquid and gas media. These models were validated by means of laboratory experiments. Acoustic characteristics of hypothetical liquid and gas leaks were determined by means of testing with hydrophones. This information can be leveraged by a number of technologies as the data are independent of the measurement mechanism. While the motivation of this work is to evaluate distributed fiber-optic systems, the data on leak characteristics may also provide indications on applicability of other techniques for detecting potential underwater leaks. The data from this project will allow the industry to improve the understanding of potential leaks from underwater pipelines and, hence, lay the foundation for determining appropriate detection systems.
