Mechanical Strength Analysis and Structure Improvement of Diaphragm Chamber Based on Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Diaphragm chamber is the key component in fluid end of high pressure diaphragm pump for long distance pipeline transportation. Structural dimensions are the major factors affecting mechanical strength and manufacturing cost of diaphragm chamber. In this paper, diaphragm chamber was simulated by finite element analysis software ANSYS. Mechanical strength of diaphragm chamber was checked in the light of ASMEVIII-2. The structure of diaphragm chamber was modified for the purpose of extending service life and reducing production costs. The analysis results provide some theoretical guidance for research and development of diaphragm chambers and relevant products.
