Pipe End Dimensioning Service
- 1. Pipe End Dimensioning Service
- 2. Measurement Services Offshore Onshore Projects Projects
- 3. Onshore Projects Complete understanding of delivered pipe geometry e.g. size and ovality, with instant access to results The ability to discuss and negotiate with welders, acceptance of pipe geometry prior to pipe being laid The possibility to discuss with the pipe mill the delivered pipe dimensions in comparison with the specification before signing off on the delivery National Grid 9 systems measuring over 30,000 pipes in 4 locations throughout the UK
- 4. Offshore Projects Steel Catenary Risers and other similar pipelines where the Hi/Lo tolerance mismatch must be less than 0.5 mm. End matching pipe ends including rotational requirements Sorting of pipes into size categories group to determine counterbore settings to avoid compromising wall thickness criteria 2000 inside & outside measurements
- 5. OMS Automatic PipeChecker Inclinometer Optical Encoder Laser distance sensors Low Expansivity Carbon Fibre
- 6. Measurement accuracy Precision engineered instrument body Sensors Distance - +/- 0.05 mm Angle - 0.18 degrees Inclinometer – 0.3 degrees Datum estimation – spirit level Calibration – on site calibration to nominal size ring Verification – check calibration ring
- 7. Throughput OMS design for high speed operation with no loss of accuracy Simple operation to avoid operator fatigue Depending of requirements: 400 pipe ends per 12 hour shift (3-4 operators) 200 pipe ends per 12 hour shift (2 operators) 100 pipe ends per 8-12 hour shift (1 operator) for small jobs (typically 1-2 days)
- 8. Service Quality Control Simplicity of operation Input data checks and double checks Visual checks Calibration checks Built in traceability - calibration rings Verification checks Quality of data is of paramount importance
- 9. Tool Reliability Proven design Robust over-engineering for sustained use Low power consumption Stock kept of critical components, back up tools available when required Complete back up of systems components at base Service history of tool useage Design constantly updated to incorporate lessons learned on projects
- 10. Summary Pipe end dimension measurement service can measure pipes sizes from 150 to 1000 mm internal diameter Equipment is quick to operate resulting in less time on site with fast project completion The accuracy and traceability of the OMS tools is suitable for all uses OMS can mobilise very quickly to any location in the world
