How to determine the reliability of sealing strip tooling equipment?

The reliability of sealing strip tooling equipment mainly includes the following aspects: sealing performance, working stability, service life, and safety of the equipment. The following will provide a detailed introduction on how to determine the reliability of sealing strip tooling equipment from these aspects.

Firstly, the sealing performance of equipment is one of the important indicators to measure its reliability. The main function of sealing strip tooling equipment is to ensure the sealing of pipelines, containers, etc. in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, and to prevent medium leakage or external material invasion. Therefore, the sealing performance of sealing strip tooling equipment during use is directly related to the process and normal operation of the equipment. The reliability of sealing performance can be evaluated through the following aspects:

The first step is to conduct a leak test. The sealing strip fixture can be connected to the tested pipeline or container, applied with a certain pressure or temperature, and then observed for any leakage of the sealing strip. At the same time, specific liquids or gases can also be used to detect the sealing strip and observe whether there is any liquid or gas permeation under a certain pressure. This allows for intuitive evaluation and judgment of the sealing performance of the equipment.

The second step is to conduct corrosion resistance tests. Sealing strip tooling equipment often operates in harsh chemical environments and must be able to resist the erosion of corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts. The sealing strip can be placed in a specific corrosion solution and observed for corrosion after a certain period of time to determine its corrosion resistance.

The third is to conduct temperature resistance tests. Sealing strip tooling equipment often needs to work in high-temperature environments, so it must be able to withstand high-temperature erosion. The sealing strip can be placed in a high-temperature environment to observe whether its performance is affected, including softening, embrittlement, oxidation, etc. The temperature resistance of the sealing strip can be determined by testing its temperature range and high-temperature resistance.

Secondly, the working stability of tooling equipment is also an important indicator for judging its reliability. The tooling equipment should be able to work stably during use and be less prone to malfunctions and shutdowns. The stability of its work can be evaluated from the following aspects:

The first step is to conduct a vibration test. You can place the tooling equipment on a specific vibration table, apply a certain amount of vibration, and observe whether the equipment can operate normally and whether there are any looseness, detachment, etc. The working stability of the equipment can be judged by testing its seismic performance.

The second step is to conduct a load test. You can load the device to its rated working load and observe whether it can operate normally and whether it generates overload, peak current, and other conditions. The stability of the equipment can be judged by testing its load capacity.

Furthermore, it involves conducting continuous work experiments. The equipment can be continuously operated for a certain period of time to observe whether there will be temperature rise, overheating, and other issues, and whether it can operate stably for a long time. The stability of the tooling equipment can be evaluated through continuous working tests.

In addition to sealing performance and working stability, service life is also one of the important indicators for judging the reliability of sealing strip tooling equipment. The service life is the time during which the equipment can operate normally, which is directly related to the economy and reliability of the equipment. The service life can be evaluated from the following aspects:

The first step is to conduct fatigue tests. The sealing strip tooling equipment can be subjected to long-term continuous working tests to observe whether there are performance degradation, leakage, and other issues after continuous operation for a period of time, in order to determine its service life.

The second step is to conduct reliability tests. Based on the design parameters and usage conditions of the equipment, combined with reliability theory and statistical methods, the lifespan and reliability indicators of the equipment can be calculated. By calculating and analyzing the reliability of equipment, it is possible to evaluate its reliability and predict its service life.

The safety of equipment is also one of the important indicators for judging its reliability. The sealing strip tooling equipment should be able to ensure the safety of operators and equipment during the working process, and prevent the occurrence of accidents. The safety of equipment can be evaluated from the following aspects:

The first step is to conduct a pressure test. The sealing strip tooling equipment can be connected to a pressure vessel or pipeline, and a certain amount of pressure can be applied to observe whether the equipment can withstand and transmit pressure normally, and whether there are any cracks, leaks, etc. The safety of the equipment can be judged by testing its load-bearing capacity and safety factor.
