备注

采用聚乙烯管道输氢可避免金属管道可能发生的氢脆、氢老化等问题,但关于氢气与聚乙烯管材相容性评价的研究尚较少,尤其缺乏临氢环境中聚乙烯管道寿命预测的系统研究。为了预测氢对聚乙烯管道寿命的影响,分析了氢气对聚乙烯管材性能的影响,梳理了聚乙烯管道寿命预测主流方法及模型的研究进展,探讨了聚乙烯管道在临氢环境中应用的寿命预测方法。结果表明:氢气对聚乙烯管道的力学性能、渗透性能等不会产生显著影响,但在长期临氢环境中,聚乙烯管材的慢速裂纹扩展行为会受到影响,进而影响聚乙烯管道的使用寿命。对临氢环境中聚乙烯管道寿命预测方法及发展方向进行了展望,以期为非金属管道在输氢领域中的加快应用提供参考。(图4表1,参[66]
Hydrogen embrittlement of metal pipelines can be avoided if a polyethylene pipeline is adopted for hydrogen transportation. However, few studies are conducted on the evaluation of compatibility between hydrogen and polyethylene pipeline material, and no systematic research is performed on the lifetime prediction of polyethylene pipelines in a hydrogen environment. In order to predict the effect of hydrogen on the lifetime of polyethylene pipelines, the influence of hydrogen on the performance of polyethylene pipelines was analyzed. Meanwhile, the research progress of the mainstream methods and models for the lifetime prediction of polyethylene pipelines was reviewed, and the lifetime prediction methods used for polyethylene pipelines in the hydrogen environment were discussed. The results show that hydrogen does not have a significant impact on the mechanical properties and permeability of polyethylene pipelines, but the slow crack growth behavior of polyethylene pipelines will be affected in a long-term hydrogen environment, which will affect the service lifetime of polyethylene pipelines. Moreover, a prospect was made for the lifetime prediction method of polyethylene pipelines in the hydrogen environment, as well as its development direction, so as to provide a reference for accelerating the application of non-metallic pipelines in hydrogen transportation.
