Comprehensive performance test method of fluid swivel for FPSO single point mooring system
To verify the safety and reliability of the function and structure of the fluid swivel in the long-term marine envi-ronment,this paper conducted research on the comprehensive performance test method of the fluid swivel.According to the performance index requirements of the newly added 8-inch do-mestic fluid swivel products of the Nanhai-Fenjin FPSO,the test device for simulating the dynamic marine environment was designed,and 2 running-in tests and 4 functional pressure tests were formulated,and the sealing pressure,rotational torque and fluid transmission performance of the fluid swivel were tested under static and dynamic swing conditions respec-tively.Results show that the comprehensive performance of the domestic fluid swivel can meet the design requirements,which provides a reference for future performance testing and verifi-cation of the domestic fluid swivel.
