Sample Laser Profiling Reports
Deformation
Below: This is a video of an 8" corrugated PVC Pipe with multiple obvious deformations.
Based on this raw data collection, Maverick was able to use computer analysis, and provide a report with measurements, and a full 3D profile workup of the deformed section of pipe.
The client was able to use this information in order to determine whether or not the re-lining of this particular pipe was a) required, and b) sufficient to meet thier production needs.
Mechanical Surface Wear
The sample page from the report below shows a 1.5" (37mm) band of surface wear on the internal diameter due to improper installation of mechanical scrapers. Engineers suspected that they may have had exessive wear issues, and the 3D laser profile was able to confirm their suspicions, as well as provide additional information regarding the depth of the wear, the size of the problem area, and the specific location allowing them to focus the repair on only this section of the line.
Ovality Reporting
The page below was taken from a report related to Ovality. During a systems upgrade, this electrical conduit was re-assigned from three electrical cables to four. The original interior diameter was sufficient to handle the new cables, however the laser profiling system showed some signs with significant ovality. This ovality causes line constriction, and this constriction might prevent the new line assignments. Because the client now knows about the line constrictions, they can re-design their application before beginning work, or replace/repair the defficient segments. Maverick Inspection Ltd. was able to provide very accurate (sub mm) measurements of the interior cross section, and minimum clearances for this redesign.
Coating Loss, Pitting and Spalling
The image to the left was created by sampling a portion of the output from a pipeline inspection. The unfolded view at the bottom shows some significant coating loss.
The image shows the carbon steel pipe in black, the intended concrete coating in green, and the actual measured surface in blue. Notice that the coating is completely missing from one portion near the 4 O'Clock position. This missing coating could result in corrosion of the carbon steel produced water line. The unfolded view shows that such coating and wall loss is limited to a few areas, surrounded by mostly intact piping.
This allows the repairs to be focused on only the problem areas, resulting in cost savings through reduced maintenance, reconstruction and unplanned downtime.
There are a number of additional applications for laser profile imaging, particularly when combined with Remote Video Testing.
