【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、油漏れを検出する検査剤およびそれを用いた検査方法に関する。 特に大型タンク、容器類などの完成検査及び保守検査、パイプや配管の溶接部等の検査や壁などから滲み出てくる油等の漏れ部を確認するための検査剤およびそれを用いた油用漏洩検査方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
現在、漏れの原因となる貫通欠陥を検出する検査方法には種々の方法がある。圧力をかけた状態で気体の漏れを検出する方法としては、ヘリウム漏れ試験法、ハロゲン漏れ試験法、アンモニア漏れ試験法、発泡漏れ試験方法等がある。
しかしながら、これらの検査方法は、通常、検査容器内を密閉加圧することが必要であるため、開放タンクなどでは検査が困難となっている。また、検査物が水や油で濡れていると信頼性が低下するため、検査前に充分乾燥させることも必要となる。
そのほか感度が高いとされるヘリウム漏れ試験法、ハロゲン漏れ試験法、アンモニア漏れ試験法は特別なガスを封入しなければならず、機械や設備も必要で作業も大変であるという欠点がある。
油等の液体漏れを検出する一般的な試験方法としては、▲1▼油漏れを検知しようとする検査物の表面に白色微粉末の塗膜を形成し、漏れ個所から滲み出た塗膜表面の濡れた状態を目視で観察して漏れ個所を見つける方法や、▲2▼あらかじめ油に蛍光染料を溶解させ検査物の表面に紫外線照射して、漏れ個所から滲み出た油から発する蛍光を暗所で観察して漏洩個所を見つける方法がある。
しかし、前記▲1▼の方法は、塗膜表面の濡れた状態を健全部の白さと濡れた塗膜表面のコントラストにより目視で検出するため、微細な漏洩個所を見落としてしまう恐れがある。
前記▲2▼の方法は、漏れ個所から滲み出た油に紫外線を照射して見るため、設備や暗室などの設備が必要であり、また、蛍光染料が油に添加できない場合が多く、添加できたとしても検査体が大きいと添加する薬剤の量が膨大となり好ましくない。
この他にも、油漏れを検出する方法としては、種々の提案が行われているが、特殊な液体を使用したり、検出感度が低かったり、作業が大変だったりするため、いずれも問題点が多く未だに良い検査方法は確立していない。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明者らは、鋭意研究の結果前述の従来の漏れ試験法の短所を解決する新しい検査剤を見い出し先に特願平8−203970として出願した。この発明は水分散型の油用漏洩検査剤であり、油漏れ試験などで漏れてくる油を、事前に油に特別な薬剤などを添加しないで、また、特別な機械や装置を用いないで、簡単に、しかも高い感度で微細な漏れ個所及び貫通欠陥を容易に見つけることのできる検査剤である。しかし、水ベースのため乾燥時間が長く、容器・被検査体の腐食などの問題点があり、また、油溶性染料を溶解せず、かつ水と相溶性のある噴射ガスがないため、エアゾール製品の製造が困難であった。
本発明の目的はこれらの問題を一気に解決し、かつ高感度で微細な漏れでも検出できる検査剤および検査方法を提供するものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の第1は、粒径が10μm以下の油溶性染料粒子0.1〜5重量%および白色微粉末5〜70重量%を含有する水系分散型油用漏洩検査剤である。本発明の第2は、粒径が10μm以下の油溶性染料粒子0.1〜5重量%および白色微粉末5〜70重量%を含有するアルコール水溶液分散型油用漏洩検査剤である。本発明の第3は、粒径が10μm以下の油溶性染料粒子0.1〜5重量%、分散剤0.05〜5重量%および白色微粉末5〜70重量%を含有する水系分散型油用漏洩検査剤である。本発明の第4は、粒径が10μm以下の油溶性染料粒子0.1〜5重量%、白色微粉末5〜50重量%をアルコール水溶液に分散させて原液としたエアゾール型油用漏洩検査剤である。本発明の第5は、前記第1〜第4の発明である油用漏洩検査剤を検査体に塗布して乾燥させ、発色を検出することを特徴とする検査方法である。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の油用漏洩検査剤は、通常検査体に塗布して乾燥し、白い被膜を形成させて使用するが、その中には非常に小さい油溶性染料の粒子が分散している。そして、検査体に油漏れがあると、乾燥した白色微粉末が毛細管現象で油を吸い出す。吸い出された油は、均一に分散された微細な油溶性染料を溶解し、白い被膜上に濃い色の指示模様を形成する。なお、この指示模様は白色微粉末を染色しているため、油が乾燥しても指示模様は残る。
【0006】
本発明に使用する油溶性染料は、粒径が10μm以下好ましくは5μm以下のできるだけ微細なものがよく、油と接触し溶解したとき、色調が濃く、コントラストの高いものがよい。粒径が10μmを超えると漏れてきた微量の油に油溶性染料が溶解しなくなり、また、微細な漏れでも検出できるように必ず油溶性染料の粒子が塗膜中に存在するようにするためである。
本発明に使用する油溶性染料は、油や溶剤に溶解する赤、黒、青、緑等の種々の色の油溶性染料を使用できるが、バックグランドが白であるのでコントラストの高い赤色が特に好ましい。具体的に例えば、C.I.Solvent Red 1、C.I.SolventRed 3、C.I.Solvent Red 8、C.I.Solvent Red 18、C.I.Solvent Red 24、C.I.Solvent Red 27、C.I.Solvent Red 49、C.I.Solvent Red 109 等が使用できるが、好ましくはC.I.Solvent Red 1、C.I.Solvent Red 24、C.I.SolventRed 27である。それ以外のものを使用する場合、アルコール水溶液の水の割合を多くしなければならず、乾燥性が悪くなる。
油溶性染料の添加量は0.1〜5重量%であり、好ましくは、0.2〜1重量%である。添加量が0.1重量%未満では漏洩箇所の発色性が劣るため見にくく、5重量%を超えると塗布面が全体的に着色するため、漏洩箇所とバックグランドとの識別がしにくくなり好ましくない。
【0007】
本発明に使用する白色微粉末は、漏洩箇所と健全部とのコントラストの識別性を高めるため、バックグランドを白くすることが必要であり、白色度の高いものが適している。また、漏れてきた油に溶解した染料が必要以上に希釈され色が薄くならないため染料の吸着能力の大きいものが好ましい。本発明において白色微粉末としたのは、貫通欠陥等があると微粉末の場合、内部の液体を毛細管現象を利用して吸い出し、塗膜上に広げる働きがあるためであり、また、白色としたのはバックグランドが白色の場合が最も漏れの指示模様が見やすいことを考えて漏れの検出感度を高めるようにしたものである。
本発明に使用する白色微粉末は白色の微粉末であれば無機物質、有機物質どちらも使用できるが、品質の安定性から無機物質が好ましい。具体的に例えば、珪酸や珪酸塩、水酸化マグネシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、酸化マグネシウム、酸化カルシウム、炭酸カルシウム、酸化チタン、酸性白土、カオリン、ベントナイト、セリサイト等の白色の微粉末をあげることができ、これらの白色微粉末を単独で使用しても数種類混合して使用してもよい。また、これらの白色微粉末の粒径は特に制限しないが、10μm以下が好ましい。白色微粉末の量としては、検査剤中5〜70重量%の範囲が好ましい。5重量%未満では、乾燥時に塗膜の白色度が弱く、漏洩箇所の識別性に問題が生じ、また、70重量%を超えると分散液の粘度が高くなり、塗布性が悪くなるため好ましくない。
【0008】
本発明の油用漏洩検査剤において、アルコール水溶液を分散媒として使用するのは、塗膜の乾燥性を高めるとともに、染料の溶解を抑制するためである。アルコールとしては炭素数1〜3の低級アルコールが好ましい。一価アルコールの場合炭素数が増えるにつれ、極性が少なくなる。誘電率が小さくなり、親油性が増すため、油溶性染料を溶解しやすくなる。炭素数が4以上になると、染料が部分的に溶け出し、塗膜の白さが損なわれる。また、アルコール水溶液中の水の割合は、好ましくは5〜60重量%である。5重量%未満の場合油溶性染料の溶解を十分に抑制できず、また、60重量%を超えた場合では、塗膜の乾燥が遅くなるため、好ましくない。
本発明の油用漏洩検査剤は、通常の攪拌機により、油溶性染料、白色微粉末を水系溶液好ましくはアルコール水溶液に均一に分散させて調整する。
本発明の油用漏洩検査剤の使用方法は、まず、検査体の表面に付着した油、サビ、ゴミ等を除去してから、検査体の表面に刷毛や塗料用のスプレーガン等を使用して通常5〜100g/m2塗布して使用する。エアゾール品の場合、直接検査体の表面にスプレーする。
また、本発明の油用漏洩検査剤の使用対象となる油は、油溶性染料を溶解するものであればよく、例えば、灯油、絶縁油、作動油、タービン油、軽油、重油、潤滑油、シリンダー油、マシン油、スピンドル油、冷凍機油、ダイナモ油、ギヤー油、植物油、芳香族溶剤、高級アルコール等その種類に関係なく使用できる。なお、必要に応じて、本発明の油用漏洩検査剤に防錆剤、分散剤、安定剤などを添加することができる。
【0009】
エアゾール品の噴射ガスとしては、1,1,1,2,テトラフルオロエタン(HFC134a)、炭酸ガス、窒素ガス等が使用できるが、特にHFC134aは油溶性染料を溶解せず、アルコール水溶液と相溶性があるため均一な塗膜が得られる。
HFC134aは、分子式CH2FCF3であり、オゾン層破壊に対する影響が極めて少ない(オゾン層破壊係数:0)水素を含んだフルオルカーボンで、代替えフロンの不燃性の噴射ガスとして一般に使用されているものである。
エアゾール型油用漏洩検査剤の場合は、白色微粉末は5〜50重量%であり、5重量%未満の場合は乾燥時の塗膜の白色度が弱く、また、50重量%を超えると原液の粘度が高くなり、均一な塗膜が得られない。
【0010】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、試験体から油が漏洩したとき、その部分が発色し、他の部分と明瞭に区別できる漏洩検査剤であり、油に特別な薬剤を添加しないで、また、特別な機械や装置を用いないで簡単に、しかも高い感度で検出できるもので、漏れ箇所及び貫通欠陥を容易に見つけるための検査方法である。
本発明においてアルコール水溶液を分散媒とすれば、容器・被検査体を腐食することなく、また、塗膜の乾燥速度を著しく向上させるため、エアゾール製品の製造が可能となった。
またアルコール水溶液を分散媒とした場合には、低温(−20℃)でも凍結せず、また、検査後の後処理としての塗膜の除去性にも優れている。
【0011】
【実施例】
以下実施例及び比較例により本発明を具体的に説明する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an inspection agent for detecting oil leakage and an inspection method using the same. Especially for completion inspection and maintenance inspection of large tanks, containers, etc., inspection of pipes and piping welds, etc. and inspection agent for oil leaking from walls etc. and for oils using it It relates to a leakage inspection method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Currently, there are various inspection methods for detecting penetration defects that cause leakage. As a method for detecting a gas leak under pressure, there are a helium leak test method, a halogen leak test method, an ammonia leak test method, a foam leak test method, and the like.
However, these inspection methods usually require that the inside of the inspection container be hermetically pressurized, so that it is difficult to inspect with an open tank or the like. In addition, since reliability decreases when an inspection object is wet with water or oil, it is necessary to sufficiently dry the inspection object before inspection.
In addition, the helium leak test method, the halogen leak test method, and the ammonia leak test method, which are considered to have high sensitivity, have a drawback that a special gas has to be enclosed, machines and equipment are required, and work is difficult.
As a general test method for detecting oil or other liquid leaks, (1) a paint film of white fine powder formed on the surface of the object to be detected for oil leaks, and exuded from the leaked part The method of finding the leaked part by visually observing the wet state of the liquid, and (2) darkening the fluorescence emitted from the oil that has exuded from the leaked part by dissolving the fluorescent dye in the oil beforehand and irradiating the surface of the test object with ultraviolet rays There is a method of observing at the place and finding the leaked part.
However, in the method (1), since the wet state of the coating film surface is visually detected by the contrast between the white part of the healthy part and the wet coating film surface, there is a possibility that a fine leak point may be overlooked.
In the method (2), since the oil oozing from the leaked part is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, facilities such as equipment and a dark room are necessary. In many cases, fluorescent dyes cannot be added to the oil. Even if the specimen is large, the amount of drug to be added is undesirably large.
In addition to this, various proposals have been made as methods for detecting oil leaks, but they all have problems because they use special liquids, have low detection sensitivity, and are difficult to work with. However, a good inspection method has not been established yet.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As a result of diligent research, the present inventors have found a new test agent that solves the disadvantages of the above-described conventional leak test method and filed a patent application as Japanese Patent Application No. 8-203970. This invention is a water-dispersed oil leak test agent. Oil that leaks in an oil leak test, etc. should not be added to the oil in advance, nor should any special machine or device be used. It is an inspection agent that can easily find fine leaks and penetration defects with high sensitivity. However, because it is water-based, it takes a long time to dry, there are problems such as corrosion of containers and objects to be inspected, and since it does not dissolve oil-soluble dyes and there is no jet gas that is compatible with water, aerosol products It was difficult to manufacture.
An object of the present invention is to provide an inspection agent and an inspection method that can solve these problems at once, and can detect even a high-sensitivity minute leak.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The first of the present invention is an aqueous dispersion type oil leakage inspection agent containing 0.1 to 5% by weight of oil-soluble dye particles having a particle size of 10 μm or less and 5 to 70% by weight of white fine powder. A second aspect of the present invention is an aqueous alcohol-dispersed oil leak test agent containing 0.1 to 5% by weight of oil-soluble dye particles having a particle size of 10 μm or less and 5 to 70% by weight of white fine powder. A third aspect of the present invention is an aqueous dispersion type oil containing 0.1 to 5% by weight of oil-soluble dye particles having a particle size of 10 μm or less, 0.05 to 5% by weight of a dispersant, and 5 to 70% by weight of white fine powder. Leakage inspection agent. The fourth aspect of the present invention is an aerosol type oil leakage inspection agent in which 0.1 to 5% by weight of oil-soluble dye particles having a particle size of 10 μm or less and 5 to 50% by weight of white fine powder are dispersed in an aqueous alcohol solution to obtain a stock solution. It is. A fifth aspect of the present invention is an inspection method characterized in that the oil leakage inspection agent according to the first to fourth aspects of the present invention is applied to an inspection body and dried to detect color development.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The oil leakage inspection agent of the present invention is usually applied to a test object and dried to form a white film, in which very small oil-soluble dye particles are dispersed. When there is an oil leak in the test object, the dried white fine powder sucks out the oil by capillary action. The sucked-out oil dissolves the uniformly dispersed fine oil-soluble dye, forming a dark colored indicator pattern on the white coating. In addition, since this instruction pattern dyes white fine powder, the instruction pattern remains even if the oil dries.
[0006]
The oil-soluble dye used in the present invention should be as fine as possible with a particle size of 10 μm or less, preferably 5 μm or less, and it should have a high color tone and high contrast when dissolved in contact with oil. If the particle size exceeds 10 μm, the oil-soluble dye will not dissolve in the small amount of oil that has leaked, and the oil-soluble dye particles must be present in the coating so that even fine leaks can be detected. is there.
As the oil-soluble dye used in the present invention, various colors of oil-soluble dyes such as red, black, blue, and green that can be dissolved in oil or solvent can be used. preferable. Specifically, for example, CISolvent Red 1, CISolvent Red 3, CISolvent Red 8, CISolvent Red 18, CISolvent Red 24, CISolvent Red 27, CISolvent Red 49, CISolvent Red 109, etc. can be used, but preferably CISolvent Red 1, CISolvent Red 24 , CISolventRed 27. When using other than that, the ratio of the water of alcohol aqueous solution must be increased, and drying property worsens.
The addition amount of the oil-soluble dye is 0.1 to 5% by weight, and preferably 0.2 to 1% by weight. If the amount added is less than 0.1% by weight, it is difficult to see because the color developability of the leaked portion is inferior, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, the coated surface is colored as a whole, which makes it difficult to distinguish the leaked portion from the background. .
[0007]
The white fine powder used in the present invention needs to have a white background in order to enhance the distinction of the contrast between the leaked part and the healthy part, and a white powder having high whiteness is suitable. Moreover, since the dye dissolved in the leaked oil is diluted more than necessary and the color does not become thin, those having a large dye adsorption ability are preferable. In the present invention, the white fine powder is a fine powder with penetrating defects, etc., because it has the function of sucking out the internal liquid using the capillary phenomenon and spreading it on the coating film. The reason for this is that the detection sensitivity of leakage is increased in consideration of the fact that the indication pattern of leakage is most visible when the background is white.
The white fine powder used in the present invention can be either an inorganic substance or an organic substance as long as it is a white fine powder, but an inorganic substance is preferred from the standpoint of quality stability. Specifically, for example, white fine powders such as silicic acid and silicate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, acid clay, kaolin, bentonite, sericite can be mentioned, These white fine powders may be used alone or in combination. The particle size of these white fine powders is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 μm or less. The amount of the white fine powder is preferably in the range of 5 to 70% by weight in the test agent. If it is less than 5% by weight, the degree of whiteness of the coating film is weak at the time of drying, and there is a problem in the distinguishability of the leaked portion, and if it exceeds 70% by weight, the viscosity of the dispersion becomes high and the applicability becomes poor. .
[0008]
In the oil leakage inspection agent of the present invention, the alcohol aqueous solution is used as a dispersion medium in order to improve the drying property of the coating film and suppress the dissolution of the dye. The alcohol is preferably a lower alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. In the case of monohydric alcohol, the polarity decreases as the number of carbons increases. Since the dielectric constant is reduced and the lipophilicity is increased, the oil-soluble dye is easily dissolved. When the number of carbon atoms is 4 or more, the dye partially dissolves and the whiteness of the coating film is impaired. The ratio of water in the aqueous alcohol solution is preferably 5 to 60% by weight. When the amount is less than 5% by weight, the dissolution of the oil-soluble dye cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and when it exceeds 60% by weight, the drying of the coating film is delayed, which is not preferable.
The oil leakage inspection agent of the present invention is prepared by uniformly dispersing an oil-soluble dye and a white fine powder in an aqueous solution, preferably an aqueous alcohol solution, using an ordinary stirrer.
The method for using the oil leakage test agent of the present invention is to first remove oil, rust, dust, etc. adhering to the surface of the test object, and then use a brush or a spray gun for paint on the surface of the test object. Usually, 5 to 100 g / m 2 is applied and used. In the case of aerosol products, spray directly on the surface of the specimen.
The oil to be used for the oil leakage inspection agent of the present invention may be any oil that dissolves oil-soluble dyes, such as kerosene, insulating oil, hydraulic oil, turbine oil, light oil, heavy oil, lubricating oil, Cylinder oil, machine oil, spindle oil, refrigerator oil, dynamo oil, gear oil, vegetable oil, aromatic solvent, higher alcohol, etc. can be used regardless of the type. In addition, a rust preventive agent, a dispersing agent, a stabilizer, etc. can be added to the leakage inspection agent for oil of this invention as needed.
[0009]
As the spray gas for aerosol products, 1,1,1,2, tetrafluoroethane (HFC134a), carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, etc. can be used. In particular, HFC134a does not dissolve oil-soluble dyes and is compatible with aqueous alcohol solutions. Therefore, a uniform coating film can be obtained.
HFC134a is a molecular formula CH 2 FCF 3 and is a fluorocarbon containing hydrogen that has very little influence on ozone layer destruction (ozone layer destruction coefficient: 0), and is generally used as an incombustible propellant gas instead of Freon. Is.
In the case of an aerosol type oil leakage test agent, the white fine powder is 5 to 50% by weight. If it is less than 5% by weight, the whiteness of the coating film is low when dried. Viscosity increases, and a uniform coating film cannot be obtained.
[0010]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is a leakage inspection agent that develops a color when oil leaks from a test specimen and can be clearly distinguished from other parts, without adding a special agent to the oil, and with a special machine or device. This is an inspection method that can be detected easily and with high sensitivity without using, and for easily finding a leak point and a penetration defect.
In the present invention, when an aqueous alcohol solution is used as a dispersion medium, aerosol products can be produced without corroding the container / inspected object and significantly improving the drying speed of the coating film.
Further, when an aqueous alcohol solution is used as a dispersion medium, it does not freeze even at a low temperature (−20 ° C.), and it has excellent removability of the coating film as a post-treatment after inspection.

Red 27 as an oil-soluble dye, 20% of water and 54% of methanol The mixture was stirred at 1500 RPM for 30 minutes using a normal stirrer, and mixed and dispersed well to prepare an oil leakage inspection agent.
By using the same test method as in Example 1 except that this oil leakage inspection agent was used, the leakage portion was observed after being left for 10 minutes. The blending composition and the test results are shown in Table 1. Since the color tone of the healthy portion other than the leaked portion is a pink background, the contrast was poor even if the leaked portion was colored red, and the fine leaked portion was very difficult to see and could not be clearly confirmed.

Comparative Example 5
Calcium carbonate fine powder (average particle size 1 μm) 25% by weight, oil red 5B (trade name: manufactured by Orient Chemical Co., Ltd.) 0.5% by weight as CISolvent Red 27 as an oil-soluble dye 74.5% by weight of methanol The mixture was stirred at 1500 RPM for 30 minutes using a normal stirrer, and mixed and dispersed well to prepare an oil leakage inspection agent.
By using the same test method as in Example 1 except that this oil leakage inspection agent was used, the leakage portion was observed after being left for 10 minutes. The blending composition and the test results are shown in Table 1. Since the color tone of the healthy portion other than the leaked portion is a pink background, the contrast was poor even if the leaked portion was colored red, and the fine leaked portion was very difficult to see and could not be clearly confirmed.
[0022]
In Examples 1 to 5 using the oil leakage test agent of the present invention, a clear red instruction pattern due to leakage can be confirmed on a white background against leakage of fine through-holes of 10 μm and 30 μm. The dryness and workability were excellent and the overall evaluation was good.
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 in which a small amount of white fine powder was added, the whiteness of the coating film was weak, in Comparative Example 2 in which a large amount was added, the viscosity was high and the workability was poor, and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 in which the oil-soluble dye was not in an appropriate amount Contrast and detection performance were poor, and Comparative Example 5 in which water was not added was poor in contrast and detection performance, and a fine leak point could not be clearly confirmed.
