Detection on Looseness of Flange Bolt of Insulating Spacer Based on Critical Refraction Longitudinal Wave Method
Insulating spacer is the key insulation element of GIS. It is fastened and connected with the flanges of the gas compartment on both sides by bolts. The bolts
in case of loose
will lead to uneven stress distribution of insulating spacer
thus affecting both safety and stability of the insulating spacer. In this paper
a method for detecting the bolt looseness of
insulating spacer flanges based on ultrasonic critically refracted longitudinal waves (L
CR
) is proposed. The looseness of bolts is reflected in accordance with the acoustic time difference of L
CR
wave propagation on the surface of the insulating spacer flanges. The results show that
in case of looseness of the adjacent bolts
the L
CR
wave has the largest change in the flange surface acoustic time difference between the loose bolts
and the magnitude of variation is greater than 24 ns; While
when the non-adjacent bolts are loose
the acoustic time difference on the surface of flange of L
CR
on the opposite side of the loose bolt is maximum and the acoustic time difference is greater than 10 ns
and the greater the bolt looseness
the greater the ultrasonic propagation acoustic time difference. The detection method can achieve the detection of the looseness of the flange bolts of the insulating spacer
judge the number and position of the loosening of the bolts and has certain engineering practical value.
