is used for inspection of coiled tubings (CT) technical condition in units.
DEFECTOSCOPE-COILED-TUBING allows
- displaying internal and external defects of CT in real-time;
- measuring and displaying diameter, out-of-roundness and average thickness of CT;
- informing an operator about critical defects and exceeding the permissible deviations of the measured parameters;
- indicating dangerous changes of coiled tubing condition in time and decrease the risk of crashes;
- accumulating results and displaying integral characteristics of CT.
Apparatus includes
- sensor unit with integrated unit of signal processing (there are options for CT diameters from 30 to 45 mm);
- device for anchoring of a sensor unit to CT unit;
- emergency alarm unit;
- laptop with technological software.
Basic advantages
- folding design of sensor unit allows fixing and removing it without necessity of CT lifting and dismantling of injector;
- high acceptable speed of CT motion (up to 0.8 m/s) allows providing inspection not affecting on technological operations;
- high resolution of measurement (2mm) allows detecting defects at the early stage of their development;
- usage non-contact method of measurement allows to reduce the number of wearing parts and prolong the life of the system;
- low power consumption (~120W) allows you to power the system from an on-bort electrical power outlet of CT unit;
- interface with measuring instrument of immersion depth of CT allows organizing integrated relation of measurement results to depth;
- technological software allows displaying data of measurement in real-time on screen of laptop, changing operating modes of system and input commentaries according to estimation of defects;
- opportunity of system adaptation to CT made from various alloys, can improve the accuracy of the measurements;
- usage of vibration resistant laptop with extended temperature range allows placing it in operator's cab;
- self-testing and automatic control of fixing integrity allows giving signal to operator in case of operation disturbance of system.
