Design and experiment of test stand for subsea control system
In this article,according to the test requirements of Subsea Control Module(SCM),a multi-functional test stand is set up in this aspect.As the core of the underwater production system,SCM is expensive and difficult to install on one hand and uneasy in terms of underwater maintenance,so the function tests before underwater launch are necessary to ensure that SCM can work in a reliable manner.Firstly,efforts are made to explore the related technologies and standards which will be applied in the function tests,and it is concluded that the function tests mainly include the internal hydrostatic pressure test,the hydraulic in-ternal leakage test and the hydraulic system function test.Then,the performance indexes of the tested control module are used to design the test stand's mechanical structure and hydraulic system.Besides,the test methods are studied.Finally,the test stand's function is verified through some experiments.This study provides valuable experience for design and development of such test e-quipment for underwater production systems in China.
