Self-Propelled Caliper
The self-propelled caliper can complete the detection work through autonomous crawling, which can imple-ment the geometric deformation detection and center-ine mapping before the new pipeline is put intoproduction, provide basic data for the new pipeline.
Geometric inspection accuracy
Detection threshold at POD=90% | Accuracy at confidence=90% | |
Wall thickness | 1.5mm | ±1mm |
Dent | 1%OD | ±3mm |
Ovality | 1% | ±1% |
Positioning accuracy
Axial positioning Accur acy at confidence=90% | The distance error between the feature and the reference girth weld is less than ± 0.1m and the distance error between the reference girth weld and thereference point is less than ±0.2%. |
Circumferential positio ning Accuracy at confid ence=90% | ±5.0° |
Note: OD is the outer diameter of the pipe; Ovality (%) =(maximum diameter-minimum diameter)/ nominal diameter.
