The tool can be used in pipelines where conventional in-line-insp ection tools cannot traverse, while significantly reducing deployment cost and risk. It can also be used to provide near real-time monitoring of cri tical pipeline characteristics. The pill-shaped housing containing the sen sing elements can collect data on multiple variables, including, but not l imited topressure, temperature, 3-axis tilt, and acceleration. Multiple t ests were conducted using the technology mounted onto foam pigs in a 12-in ch flow loop with single-phase gas and liquid media. Results from the sens ing device consistently identified known bends and wall-thickness changes as small as 0.125 inches. The sensor pill device was also deployed in a f ree-floating arrangement without a carrier pig in the flow loop filled wit h water. This design enabled the sensing device to travel the length of t he line without a pig, thus indicating a potential inspection solution for fully unpiggable pipelines. \r\n\r\n\n\n--- This iCal file does *NOT* con firm registration.Event details subject to change. ---\r\n\r\n--- By Tende nci - The Open Source AMS for Associations ---\r\n UID:uid1703@spegcs.org SUMMARY:C&P: Subsea Monitoring - Small-Scale Technology for Pipeline Monitoring and Inspection DTSTART:20111115T173000Z DTEND:20111115T190000Z CLASS:PUBLIC PRIORITY:5 DTSTAMP:20240328T140825Z TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 LOCATION:Greenspoint Club X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
