ABSTRACT

Currently, gas lift valves are widely used in the gas industry to maintain pressure in wells. However, there are often problems with sealing valves, which leads to a loss of efficiency and increased energy consumption. Improving the operability of the sealing element of the gas lift valve will reduce the likelihood of gas leaks and increase the reliability and efficiency of the entire gas lift device. In addition, this will reduce the cost of repairing and replacing faulty sealing elements and improve the economic efficiency of gas production.

The sealing element of the gas lift valve plays a key role in ensuring reliable and efficient operation of this device. A malfunction of the sealing element can lead to a gas leak, which will entail significant financial losses and risks to the safety of personnel and the environment. Therefore, the urgency of improving the operability of the sealing element of the gas lift valve is to ensure the safe and reliable operation of oil and gas equipment, improve the economic efficiency of production and reduce financial losses of companies engaged in gas production and transportation.

The purpose of the work is to study the provision of a gas lift valve and a check valve with a flexible, sealing element and means to protect the element from deflection or destruction.

Keywords: gas lift valve, Bellows type, Valve sealing, Composite materials, Fluoroplast-4, Carbon fiber, Socket for the sealing.

ABSTRACT

 The state of light industry in the world is still difficult. The downward trend in the production of the most important types of textile products in physical terms continues. An inevitable consequence of the decline in light industry output is a low level of capacity utilization.

The situation in the light industry is further complicated by the fact that most of the existing fixed assets cannot be used in the future without appropriate reconstruction, since the technical and economic parameters of the main part of the equipment do not meet modern requirements and do not ensure the production of competitive products.

The international experience of recent years shows that machine building for the textile and light industries has good prospects for overcoming the crisis and further development. Intensive improvement of technology for these industries is carried out in the following main areas:

  • improving equipment performance;
  • equipping machines with the most modern microprocessor control and monitoring systems for the technological process;
  • robotization of labor-intensive operations for machine maintenance;
  • universalization of equipment for various processed raw materials.

Based on the concept of development of textile engineering and the current economic situation in the textile industry, the main areas for improving production are:

  • modernization (improvement) of mastered production and mass-produced equipment in the direction of increasing the productivity of machines, increasing the degree of their automation, reliability, ergonomics and workmanship, as well as saving raw materials;
  • modernization of equipment operating at textile industry enterprises by replacing individual units, modules, equipping machines and units with automation and instrument control.

To meet the needs of the population for the product of the textile and light industry, it is required to increase the production of fabrics of various assortments. The quality of manufactured fabrics depends on the construction of the mechanisms of looms. One of the mechanisms that affect the quality of the fabric produced on weaving machines is the fabric removal mechanism. This mechanism consists of three devices, a pulling roller (valiance), a commodity regulator and a winding device.

Keywords: Light industry, fabric removal mechanism, winding device, valiance, coefficient of friction.

 ABSTRACT                                                                                           

Continuous casting is essentially the youngest and most dynamically developing technology in the steel production and casting system as an industrial method of shaped casting process. At present, continuous casting of steel is adopted in more than 90 countries of the world. About 2,000 continuous casting machines (CCMs) of different purposes and designs are now in good operation, which allow casting about 93% of all steel produced in the world. At this time, steel bars with the following maximum cross-sections are produced in the industry: blue 600×670mm, slab 250×3200mm and circular bars with a diameter of 600mm. In many developed countries of the world, almost 95-100% of steel production is produced by continuous casting. is being for example, in 2018, 1.228 billion tons of steel were produced by continuous casting in the world, which is a record in the history of metal production. as a result of experimental studies, proposals were developed for the application of important technologies in the development of non-furnace processing of liquid metal and continuous casting in the Republic.

ABSTRACT

 The maintenance of equipment and tools used in the workover of oil and gas wells depends on keeping them in working condition, reliability, strength and temperature endurance of the tool.

In order to restore wells in case of an accident and bring them back into operation, it is necessary to speed up the drilling and repair work by choosing the right repair equipment and following the existing rules and regulatory documents.

The cutting elements of the tools working under high pressure and loads are deformed, a tense situation is created in the cutting – destruction zone, high temperatures (10000 - 12000) occur as a result of corrosion in the triboknots.

The stress-deformation state in the cutting-destruction zone causes the formation of microcracks in the working area of the tool. Microcracks grow after a certain period of time. Cutting elements are quickly worn, in some cases broken and fail quickly. Such cases affect the structural composition of the cutting elements, the temperatures increase, as a result, riveting occurs.

In order to keep the equipment and tools used in the repair in normal working condition, adjusting the mode parameters is one of the important requirements, in addition to taking special care of them. The high results obtained in repair and restoration works depend on the efficiency of the cutting-destructive tool, longevity, material selection, construction manufacturing technologies, tool that meet modern requirements, dimensions, weight and internal condition of the well being restored.

It is necessary to keep the heat generated in the moving parts of the tool at the required level for the safe performance of restoration works.

The thermal regime of cutting and rock-destroying tools depends on the physical-mechanical properties of the objects subjected to destruction and the effect of thermomechanical stresses generated on the contact surfaces of the tool and the amount of heat released from the working surface.

Studying the problems related to heat issues will allow to ensure the temperature tolerance of not only the repair equipment, but also the equipment and tools used in other areas of the oil-field industry.

Keywords: temperature, cutting and destructive tool, metal, rock.

ABSTRACT

 Crane parts work with non-stationary variable loads. The hypothesis of linear summation of fatigue damage during non-stationary cyclic tests is not confirmed. Under the influence of alternating stresses, a process of gradual accumulation of damage occurs, which leads to the formation of cracks of various nature, which gradually increase, forming macroscopic values.

The work is devoted to the study of stress concentratıons leading to damage to crane parts. The results of the research revealed that the set of possible methods for non-stationary modes is not considered valid and was not fully justified from a physical point of view. From a physical point of view, the direction of the ongoing processes is determined by the method of lowering the curtain. However, this method itself requires further development and accuracy. The application of the Dahlgren method is a manner that inaccurately describes the process and its application is incorrect. When choosing materials that work for fatigue in non-stationary modes, along with other characteristics, it is necessary to take into account the criterion of sensitivity to loads.

Keywords: step loading, hypothesis, damage, secondary fatigue curves, experiment.
