Development and Application of Deep Water High Pressure Simulation Test Compartment

To simulate the deep water and high pressure working environment of drilling and production equipment, and to systematically test and study the pressure bearing performance, sealing performance, action performance, safety and reliability of underwater equipment, a deep water high pressure simulation test compartment has been developed.The test cabin, with integrated flange, integrates the water pressure, hydraulic, power, information, monitoring and testing, facilitating unified management, integrated control, while reducing the number of high-pressure cabin openings and improving reliability and operability.The compartment allows internal and external hydraulic pressure test and function (action) test of underwater equipment at the same time, and also allows monitoring, testing and data acquisition at the same time.The deep water high pressure simulation tests of different products have proved that the high pressure compartment could simulate the pressure environment of 0~3 500 m water depth, and could satisfy the test and detection of oil drilling equipment in deep water environment.The developed deep-water high-pressure simulation test compartment is a safe and reliable multi-functional and comprehensive test platform, which could provide support and evaluation for underwater equipment test and development.
