Abstract

The paper presents the results of many years of experience in studying the efficiency of sealing units in the conditions of their operation in the oil and gas production system, as well as the influence of technological parameters that ensure normal operation and protect them from failure due to leakage through the working surface of the seals in the friction zone. In addition, according to the results of practical studies, it has been established that, in order to improve the elastic properties, for example, of cup springs of a direct-flow valve, we calculated heat treatment of the operational values of spring compression for various material thicknesses. The work of the elastic elements of the packer was improved mainly by the design, and the optimal parameters for the development of the elastic element of the packer were determined. The study of the stress-strain state of the sealing element of packers during setting and improving its performance is of both practical and scientific interest. One of the factors that significantly affect operation of pumps is the fluid leakage in valve assemblies in order to identify the effect of the above parameters on tightness based on a preliminary theoretical analysis. Comparison of data during the study showed that the flow rate of work with low viscosities is greater than with high viscosities. The technological processes of hardening the parts of the shut-off assembly of X-mas tree valves, to increase their reliability, are considered. The dependence of the compression force of the spring and its deformation because of geometric parameters of the disk springs has been determined; it has been found that the residual deformation of the disk spring after collapse has a negative effect on tightness. Calculations show that the amount of leakage of the elastic elements in the sealing assembly should not exceed ≤0.309, since the seal at the value of elastic energy deformation provides a self-compacting mode. Thus, the degree of uneven pressing of the seat to the surface of the gate and its regulation to prevent leakage is practically determined.
