Caliper
The caliper tool can detect the depression, ovalitydeformation, wall thickness change of the pipeline,and various pipeline accessories that cause the innerdiameter of the pipeline to change.
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.
