    Abstract: A frame assembly for inspection of pipeline girth weld, having a support frame releasably coupled to a mounting band that comprises of two clamshell halves. The clamshell halves are coupled via quick release coupling mechanisms. By removing one of the clamshells, or uncouple the two clamshells at one coupling point, the frame assembly permits a RTR scanner assembly to be laterally displaced along the length of the pipeline.

    Abstract: An insulated high-temperature transport conduit for use in undersea environments. The conduit comprises a continuous steel pipe having at least a first layer of thermal insulation provided over its outer surface. The first layer of thermal insulation comprises a polymer composition having a thermal conductivity of less than about 0.40 W/mK and long-term heat resistance at continuous operating temperatures within the range from about 150° C. to above about 205° C. The first thermal insulation layer comprises a polymer composition comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of one or more fluoropolymers, hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR), and a blend of one or more fluoropolymers with HNBR. The conduit may further comprise second and third layers of insulation on top of the first layer, along with a corrosion protection coating underlying the first thermal insulation layer.
